Psalms 59
1 “To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to put him to death.” Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
Uniokoe dhidi ya adui zangu, Mungu wangu; uniweke mahali pa juu mbali na wale wanaoinuka dhidi yangu.
2 Deliver me from the workers of wickedness, and from men of blood do thou save me.
Uniweke salama mbali na wafanyao kazi ya uovu, na uniokoe dhidi ya watu wenye kiu ya damu.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul, the mighty are gathered in troops against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
Maana, tazama, wanasubiria uvamizini waniue. Wafanya maovu wenye nguvu hujikusanya wenyewe pamoja dhidi yangu, lakini sio kwa sababu ya makosa yangu au dhambi yangu, Yahwe.
4 Without guilt [in me] they run and make themselves ready: awake, [come] toward me, and behold.
Wao wanajiandaa kunikimbiza ingawa sina kosa; amka unisaidie na unitazame.
5 And thou, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations: be not gracious to any treacherous wicked one. (Selah)
Ewe, Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, inika uwaadhibu mataifa yote; usiwe na huruma kwa mhalifu mwovu yeyote. (Selah)
6 They will return at evening; they will howl like dogs, and go round about the city.
Wao wanarudi jioni, wanabweka kama mbwa na kuuzungukia mji.
7 Behold, they sputter with their mouth: swords are in their lips; for who, [say they, ] doth hear?
Tazama, wanapiga kelele mbaya kwa midomo yao; panga ziko kwenye midomo yao, maana wanasema, “Ni nani anaye tusikia?”
8 But thou, O Lord, wilt laugh at theme: thou wilt hold in derision all the nations.
Lakini wewe, Yahwe, utawacheka; wewe huwadhihaki mataifa yote.
9 Because of [the enemy's] strength will I wait upon thee; for God is my defence.
Mungu, nguvu yangu, nitakuwa msikivu kwako; wewe ni mnara wangu mrefu.
10 The God who showeth me kindness will go before me: God will let me see [my desire] upon those who regard me with envy.
Mungu atakutana nami akiwa na uaminifu wa agano lake; Mungu atanifanya nione shauku yangu juu ya adui zangu.
11 Slay them not, that my people may not forget: drive them about by thy power; and bring them down, thou our shield, O Lord.
Usiwaue, hivyo watu watasahau. Uwatawanye kwa nguvu zako na uwaangushe, Bwana ngao yetu.
12 The sin of their mouth is the word of their lips: let them be caught through their pride, because of the cursing and lying which they relate.
Kwa ajili ya dhambi za midomo yao na maneno ya midomo yao, wakamatwe katika majivuno yao, na kwa laana na uongo ambao wao huelezea.
13 Make an end in fury, make an end [of them], that they my be no more, and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, as far as the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Uwamalize katika gadhabu yako, uwamalize ili kwamba wasiwepo tena; wajue kuwa Mungu anatawala katika Yakobo na mwisho wa nchi. (Selah)
14 And they will return in the evening; they will howl like dogs, and go round about the city.
Wakati wa jioni wao hurudi, wakibweka kama mbwa wakiuzungukia mji.
15 They will indeed roam about after something to eat, if they be not satisfied, so that they can be at rest.
Wanatangatanga wakitafuta chakula na wanabweka kama mbwa kama hawajatosheka.
16 But I will truly sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing joyfully in the morning of thy kindness; for thou hast been a defence unto me and a refuge on the day when I was distressed.
Lakini nitaimba kuhusu nguvu zako, na asubuhi nitaimba kuhusu upendo wako imara! maana umekuwa mnara wangu mrefu na kimbilio la usalama katika siku ya taabu.
17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing; for God is my defence, the God of my kindness.
Kwako, nguvu yangu, nitaimba sifa; kwa kuwa Mungu ni mnara wangu mrefu, Mungu wa uaminifu wa agano.
