Psalms 64

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the dread of the enemy.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, unisikie ninapoeleza lalamiko langu, uyahifadhi maisha yangu kutokana na vitisho vya adui.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous assault of the workers of wickedness;

Unifiche kutokana na shauri la siri la waovu, kutokana na zile kelele za kundi la watenda mabaya.

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:

Wananoa ndimi zao kama panga na kuelekeza maneno yao kama mishale ya kufisha.

4 To shoot in secret at the innocent; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Hurusha mishale kutoka kwenye mavizio kwa mtu asiye na hatia, humrushia ghafula bila woga.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will see them?

Kila mmoja humtia moyo mwenzake katika mipango mibaya; huzungumza juu ya kuficha mitego yao, nao husema, “Ni nani ataiona?”

6 They search out iniquities; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].

Hufanya shauri baya la dhuluma na kusema, “Tumebuni mpango mkamilifu!” Hakika nia na moyo wa mwanadamu vina hila.

7 But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; —[thence] are come their wounds.

Bali Mungu atawapiga kwa mishale, nao ghafula wataangushwa.

8 And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.

Atageuza ndimi zao wenyewe dhidi yao na kuwaleta kwenye maangamizi; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao kwa dharau.

9 All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.

Wanadamu wote wataogopa, watatangaza kazi za Mungu na kutafakari yale aliyoyatenda.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.

Wenye haki na wafurahi katika Bwana, na wakimbilie kwake; wanyofu wote wa moyo na wamsifu yeye!
