< Psalms 75 >
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Zaburi ya Asafu. Wimbo. Ee Mungu, tunakushukuru, tunakushukuru wewe, kwa kuwa jina lako li karibu; watu husimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.
2 'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.
Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.
3 When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)
Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.
4 I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'
Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.
Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.
Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.
7 For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
Mkononi mwa Bwana kuna kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo unaotoka povu uliochanganywa na vikolezo; huumimina, nao waovu wote wa dunia hunywa mpaka tone la mwisho.
9 But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.
