Psalms 36
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, the servant of the Lord. Wickedness sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes.
Dhambi hunena kama unabii katika moyo wa mwovu; machoni mwake hamna hofu ya Mungu.
2 For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated.
Kwa maana yeye hujifariji mwenyewe, akifikiria kuwa dhambi zake hazitagundulika na kuchukiwa.
3 The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.
Maneno yake ni yenye dhambi na udanganyifu; hataki kuwa mwenye hekima na kutenda mema.
4 Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.
Alalapo kitandani, hupanga namna ya kutenda dhambi; yeye hukaa nje kwenye nja ya uovu; yeye hakatai uovu.
5 Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
Uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, unafika mbinguni; uaminifu wako unafika mawinguni.
6 Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
Haki yako ni kama milima ya Mungu; hukumu yako ni kama kina kirefu. Yahwe, wewe huwahifadhi wote wanadamu na wanyama.
7 How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
Ni jinsi gani uaminifu wa aganao lako ni wa thamani, Mungu! Watu hukimbilia usalama chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.
8 They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures.
Nao watatoshelezwa tele na utajiri wa chakula nyumbani mwako; utawafanya wanywe kutoka katika mto wa baraka zako za thamani.
9 For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
Kwa kuwa mna chemichemi ya uzima; na katika mwanga wako tutaiona nuru.
10 Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.
Uupanue uaminifu wa agano lako kikamilifu kwa wale wanao kujua wewe, ulinzi wako uwe juu ya wanyoofu wa moyo.
11 Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.
Usiuache mguu wa mwenye kiburi unisogelee. Usiiache mkono wa mwovu unitoweshe.
12 There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
Kule wafanyao maovu wameanguka; wameharibiwa hawawezi kuinuka.
