Psalms 26

1 “Of David.” Judge me, O Lord; for I have indeed walked in my integrity: and in the Lord have I trusted; I shall not slip.

Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, nithibitishe katika haki, maana nimeishi maisha yasiyo na lawama; nimemtumainia Bwana bila kusitasita.

2 Try me, O Lord, and prove me; purify my reins and my heart.

Ee Bwana, unijaribu, unipime, uuchunguze moyo wangu na mawazo yangu;

3 For thy kindness is before my eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.

kwa maana upendo wako uko mbele yangu daima, nami natembea siku zote katika kweli yako.

4 I have not sat with men of falsehood, and with dissemblers will I not enter [in communion].

Siketi pamoja na watu wadanganyifu, wala siandamani na wanafiki,

5 I have hated the assemblage of evil-doers; and with the wicked will I not sit.

ninachukia kusanyiko la watenda mabaya na ninakataa kuketi pamoja na waovu.

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

Ninanawa mikono yangu kwa kuwa sina hatia, naikaribia madhabahu yako, Ee Bwana,

7 That I may publish with a loud voice [my] thanksgiving, and relate all thy wondrous deeds.

nikitangaza sifa yako kwa sauti kubwa, huku nikisimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.

8 Lord, I love the site of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Ee Bwana, naipenda nyumba yako mahali unakoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako hukaa.

9 Take not away with sinners my soul, nor with men of blood my life;

Usiiondoe nafsi yangu pamoja na watenda dhambi, wala uhai wangu pamoja na wamwagao damu,

10 In whose hands are wicked devices, and whose right hand is full of bribes.

ambao mikononi mwao kuna mipango miovu, ambao mikono yao ya kuume imejaa rushwa.

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be gracious unto me.

Bali mimi ninaishi maisha yasiyo na lawama; nikomboe na unihurumie.

12 My foot standeth on an even place: in assemblies will I bless the Lord.

Miguu yangu imesimama katika uwanja tambarare; katika kusanyiko kuu nitamsifu Bwana.
