Psalms 62

1 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa Yeduthuni. Zaburi ya Daudi. Kwa Mungu peke yake nafsi yangu inapata pumziko; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni ngome yangu, sitatikisika kamwe.

3 How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

Mtamshambulia mtu hata lini? Je, ninyi nyote mtamtupa chini, ukuta huu ulioinama na uzio huu unaotikisika?

4 They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

Walikusudia kikamilifu kumwangusha toka mahali pake pa fahari; wanafurahia uongo. Kwa vinywa vyao hubariki, lakini ndani ya mioyo yao hulaani.

5 Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

Ee nafsi yangu, upumzike, kwa Mungu peke yake, tumaini langu latoka kwake.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.

Yeye peke yake ndiye mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; ndiye ngome yangu, sitatikisika.

7 Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Wokovu wangu na heshima yangu viko kwa Mungu, ndiye mwamba wangu wenye nguvu na kimbilio langu.

8 Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Enyi watu, mtumainini yeye wakati wote, miminieni mioyo yenu kwake, kwa kuwa Mungu ni kimbilio letu.

9 Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

Binadamu wa ngazi ya chini ni pumzi tu, nao wa ngazi ya juu ni uongo tu; wakipimwa kwenye mizani, si chochote; wote kwa pamoja ni pumzi tu.

10 Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

Usitumainie vya udhalimu wala usijivune kwa vitu vya wizi; ingawa utajiri wako utaongezeka, usiviwekee moyo wako.

11 God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;

Jambo moja Mungu amelisema, mambo mawili nimeyasikia: kwamba, Ee Mungu, wewe una nguvu,

12 Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.

na kwamba, Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwenye upendo. Hakika utampa kila mtu thawabu kwa kadiri ya alivyotenda.
