Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.

Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.

2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.

Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!

3 For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.

Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.

4 I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.

Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.

5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].

Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:

Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,

7 to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.

kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.

8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.

Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!

9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:

Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,

10 in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.

ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.

11 But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.

Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.

12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.

Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!
