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.

Sikia sauti yangu, Mungu, usikilize malalamiko yangu; unilinde dhidi ya hofu ya adui zangu.

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

Unifiche dhidi ya mipango ya siri ya wafanyao maovu, unifiche dhidi ya watendao vurugu ya udhalimu.

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

Wao wamenoa ndimi zao kama panga; wamelenga mishale yao, maneno machungu,

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

ili kwamba waweze kupiga kutoka mahali pa siri kwenda kwa mtu asiye na hatia; wampige yeye kwa ghafla nao wasihofu lolote.

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

Wao wanahamasishana wenyewe katika kupanga uovu; wanashauriana pamoja wao binafsi ili kuweka mitego; nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetuona?”

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

Wanabuni mipango ya dhambi; “Tumemaliza,” wanasema, “ni mpango makini.” Mawazo ya ndani na mioyo ya watu ni ya kina.

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

Lakini Mungu atawapiga wao; ghafla watajeruhiwa kwa mishale yake.

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

Watafanywa kuwa mashakani, kwa kuwa ndimi zao wenyewe ziko kinyume nao; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao.

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

Watu wote wataogopa na kutangaza matendo ya Mungu. Kwa hekima watafikiria kuhusu kile yeye ametenda.

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 watakuwa na furaha kuhusu Yahwe nao watakimbilia kwake; wote wenye haki moyoni watajivuna katika yeye.
