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.

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

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

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

3 For thy kindness is before my eyes; and I have walked in thy 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 men of falsehood, and with dissemblers will I not enter [in communion].

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

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

Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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