Psalms 59
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
Uniokoe dhidi ya adui zangu, Mungu wangu; uniweke mahali pa juu mbali na wale wanaoinuka dhidi yangu.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
Uniweke salama mbali na wafanyao kazi ya uovu, na uniokoe dhidi ya watu wenye kiu ya damu.
3 For, see, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
Maana, tazama, wanasubiria uvamizini waniue. Wafanya maovu wenye nguvu hujikusanya wenyewe pamoja dhidi yangu, lakini sio kwa sababu ya makosa yangu au dhambi yangu, Yahwe.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
Wao wanajiandaa kunikimbiza ingawa sina kosa; amka unisaidie na unitazame.
5 You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
Ewe, Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, inika uwaadhibu mataifa yote; usiwe na huruma kwa mhalifu mwovu yeyote. (Selah)
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Wao wanarudi jioni, wanabweka kama mbwa na kuuzungukia mji.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, does hear?
Tazama, wanapiga kelele mbaya kwa midomo yao; panga ziko kwenye midomo yao, maana wanasema, “Ni nani anaye tusikia?”
8 But you, O LORD, shall laugh at them; you shall have all the heathen in derision.
Lakini wewe, Yahwe, utawacheka; wewe huwadhihaki mataifa yote.
9 Because of his strength will I wait on you: for God is my defense.
Mungu, nguvu yangu, nitakuwa msikivu kwako; wewe ni mnara wangu mrefu.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
Mungu atakutana nami akiwa na uaminifu wa agano lake; Mungu atanifanya nione shauku yangu juu ya adui zangu.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Usiwaue, hivyo watu watasahau. Uwatawanye kwa nguvu zako na uwaangushe, Bwana ngao yetu.
12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
Kwa ajili ya dhambi za midomo yao na maneno ya midomo yao, wakamatwe katika majivuno yao, na kwa laana na uongo ambao wao huelezea.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Uwamalize katika gadhabu yako, uwamalize ili kwamba wasiwepo tena; wajue kuwa Mungu anatawala katika Yakobo na mwisho wa nchi. (Selah)
14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Wakati wa jioni wao hurudi, wakibweka kama mbwa wakiuzungukia mji.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
Wanatangatanga wakitafuta chakula na wanabweka kama mbwa kama hawajatosheka.
16 But I will sing of your power; yes, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning: for you have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Lakini nitaimba kuhusu nguvu zako, na asubuhi nitaimba kuhusu upendo wako imara! maana umekuwa mnara wangu mrefu na kimbilio la usalama katika siku ya taabu.
17 To you, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.
Kwako, nguvu yangu, nitaimba sifa; kwa kuwa Mungu ni mnara wangu mrefu, Mungu wa uaminifu wa agano.
