Psalms 59
1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Utenzi wa Daudi. Wakati Sauli alipotuma wapelelezi nyumbani mwa Daudi ili wamuue. Ee Mungu, uniokoe na adui zangu, unilinde kutokana na hao wanaoinuka dhidi yangu.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
Uniponye na watu watendao mabaya, uniokoe kutokana na wamwagao damu.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.
Tazama wanavyonivizia! Watu wakali wananifanyia hila, ingawa Ee Bwana, mimi sijakosea wala kutenda dhambi.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.
Sijatenda kosa; hata hivyo wako tayari kunishambulia. Inuka unisaidie, uone hali yangu mbaya!
5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli! Zinduka uyaadhibu mataifa yote, usionyeshe huruma kwa wasaliti.
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Hurudi wakati wa jioni, wakibweka kama mbwa, wakiuzurura mji.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
Tazama yale wanayotema kutoka vinywa vyao, hutema upanga kutoka midomo yao, nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetusikia?”
8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
Lakini wewe, Bwana, uwacheke; unayadharau mataifa hayo yote.
9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defence.
Ee nguvu yangu, ninakutazama wewe, wewe, Ee Mungu, ndiwe ngome yangu,
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
Mungu wangu unipendaye. Mungu atanitangulia, naye atanifanya niwachekelee wale wanaonisingizia.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Lakini usiwaue, Ee Bwana, ngao yetu, au sivyo watu wangu watasahau. Katika uwezo wako wafanye watangetange na uwashushe chini.
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 vinywa vyao, kwa ajili ya maneno ya midomo yao, waache wanaswe katika kiburi chao. Kwa ajili ya laana na uongo wanaotamka,
13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be: ] and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
wateketeze katika ghadhabu, wateketeze hadi wasiwepo tena. Ndipo itakapofahamika katika miisho ya dunia kwamba Mungu anatawala juu ya Yakobo.
14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Hurudi jioni, wakibweka kama mbwa, wakiuzurura mji.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
Wanatangatanga wakitafuta chakula, wasipotosheka hubweka kama mbwa.
16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Lakini mimi nitaziimba nguvu zako, asubuhi nitaimba juu ya upendo wako; kwa maana wewe ndiwe ngome yangu na kimbilio langu wakati wa shida.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
Ee uliye Nguvu zangu, ninakuimbia sifa. Wewe, Ee Mungu, ndiwe ngome yangu, Mungu unipendaye.
