Psalms 52
1 For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.
Kwa nini wewe unajivunia kufanya uovu, wewe mtu mwenye nguvu? Uaminifu wa agano la Mungu huja kila siku.
2 You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!
Ulimi wako hupanga uharibifu kama wembe mkali, na kufanya udanganyifu.
3 You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Wewe unapenda uovu kuliko wema na udanganifu kuliko kuongea haki. (Selah)
4 You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!
Wewe hupenda maneno ambayo huwaumiza wengine, wewe ulimi mdanganyifu.
5 But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Vivyo hivyo Mungu atakuadhibu wewe milele; yeye atakuchukua na kukuondoa katika hema yako na kukung'oa katika ardhi ya uhai. (Selah)
6 Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,
Wenye haki pia wataona na kuogopa; watamcheka na kusema,
7 “See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”
“Tazama, huyu ni mtu ambaye hakumfanya Mungu kuwa kimbilio lake la usalama, bali aliamini katika wingi wa mali zake, naye alikuwa na nguvu alipowaharibu wengine.”
8 But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever.
Lakini kwangu mimi, niko kama mti bora wa mzeituni katika nyumba ya Mungu; Nami nitaamini uaminifu wa agano la Mungu milele na milele.
9 I will praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
Nitakushukuru wewe daima kwa uliyo tenda. Nitalisubiri jina lako, kwa sababu ni zuri, uweponi mwa wantu wako wa kimungu.
