Psalms 64

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, unisikie ninapoeleza lalamiko langu, uyahifadhi maisha yangu kutokana na vitisho vya adui.

2 Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

Unifiche kutokana na shauri la siri la waovu, kutokana na zile kelele za kundi la watenda mabaya.

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

Wananoa ndimi zao kama panga na kuelekeza maneno yao kama mishale ya kufisha.

4 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Hurusha mishale kutoka kwenye mavizio kwa mtu asiye na hatia, humrushia ghafula bila woga.

5 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

Kila mmoja humtia moyo mwenzake katika mipango mibaya; huzungumza juu ya kuficha mitego yao, nao husema, “Ni nani ataiona?”

6 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

Hufanya shauri baya la dhuluma na kusema, “Tumebuni mpango mkamilifu!” Hakika nia na moyo wa mwanadamu vina hila.

7 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

Bali Mungu atawapiga kwa mishale, nao ghafula wataangushwa.

8 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

Atageuza ndimi zao wenyewe dhidi yao na kuwaleta kwenye maangamizi; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao kwa dharau.

9 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

Wanadamu wote wataogopa, watatangaza kazi za Mungu na kutafakari yale aliyoyatenda.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Wenye haki na wafurahi katika Bwana, na wakimbilie kwake; wanyofu wote wa moyo na wamsifu yeye!
