Psalms 75

1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.

Tunatoa shukrani kwako, Mungu; tunatoa shukrani, maana wewe unaufunua uwepo wako; watu huzungumza kuhusu kazi zako za ajabu.

2 When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

Kwa wakati maalum nitahukumu kwa haki.

3 The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. (Selah)

Ingawa nchi na wenyeji wote watatikisika katika hofu, ninaifanyia nchi nguzo za kutosha. (Selah)

4 I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.

Nilisema kwa wenye kiburi, “Msiwe wenye kiburi,” na kwa waovu, “Msiinue mapembe.

5 Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

Msiinue mapembe yenu kwenye marefu; wala msizungumze kwa shingo ya kiburi.”

6 For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,

Sio kutoka mashariki au magharibi, na wala sio kutoka jangwani ambako kuinuliwa kunakuja.

7 But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.

Bali Mungu ni muhumkumu; humshusha huyu na kumuinua huyu.

8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.

Kwa kuwa Yahwe kashikilia mkononi mwake kikombe cha mvinyo wenye povu, ambao umechanganywa na vilolezo, naye huimimina. Hakika waovu wote wa duniani watakunywa mvinyo hadi tone la mwisho.

9 But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.

Bali mimi nitaendelea kusema yale ambayo umeyatenda; nami nitamwimbia sifa Mungu wa Yakobo.

10 All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.

Yeye husema, “Nitayakata mapembe yote ya waovu, lakini mapembe ya wenye haki yatainuliwa.”
