Psalms 9
1 I will praise thee, O Yhwh, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
Nitamshukuru Yahweh kwa moyo wangu wote; nitayasimulia matendo yako makuu.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
Nitafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; nitaliimbia jina lako, Wewe uliye juu.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
Maadui zangu wanaponirudia, hujikwaa na kuangamia mbele zako.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
Kwa kuwa umenitetea kwa haki; unakaa kwenye kiti chako cha enzi, ukihukumu kwa haki!
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
Uliwakemea mataifa; umewaharibu waovu; na kuwa futilia mbali jina lao milele na milele.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
Maadui wamebomoka kama magofu ulipo pindua miji yao. Kumbukumbu yao yote imepotea.
7 But Yhwh shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
Bali Yahweh anadumu milele; ameweka kiti chake cha enzi kwa ajili ya haki.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
Naye atauhukumu ulimwengu kwa haki, na atatekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya mataifa kwa haki.
9 Yhwh also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
Yahweh pia atakuwa ngome kwake aliye onewa, na ngome wakati wa shida.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Yhwh, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Wale wakujuao jina lako wanaamini katika Wewe, kwa ajili yako, Yahweh, usiwaache wale wakutafutao.
11 Sing praises to Yhwh, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
Mwibieni sifa Yahweh, anaye tawala katika Sayuni; waambieni mataifa yale aliyo yatenda.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
Kwa kuwa Mungu alipizae kisasi cha damu hukumbuka; naye hasahau kilio cha anayeonewa.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Yhwh; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
Unihurumie, Yahweh; tazama vile ninavyo onewa na wale wanao nichukia, wewe ambaye unaweza kunikwapua katika lango la kifo.
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
Oh, ili niweze kutangaza sifa zako. Katika lango la binti sayuni nitaufurahia wokovu wako!
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Mataifa yamedidimia chini katika shimo ambalo walilolitengeneza; miguu yao imenaswa kwenye nyavu walioificha wenyewe.
16 Yhwh is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
Yahweh amejidhihilisha; na kutekeleza hukumu; waovu wameangamia kwa matendo yao wenyewe. (Selah)
Waovu wamekataliwa na kupelekwa kuzimu, mataifa yote yanayo msahau Mungu. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Kwa kuwa mhitaji hata sahauliwa siku zote, wala matumaini ya wanyonge hayatapotea milele.
19 Arise, O Yhwh; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
Inuka, Yahweh, usimruhusu mtu kutushinda; mataifa na wahukumiwe mbele zako.
20 Put them in fear, O Yhwh: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Bwana, waogopeshe; mataifa waweze kutambua kuwa ni wanadamu tu. (Selah)
