Psalms 75

1 “To the chief musician, Al-tashcheth, a psalm or song of Asaph.” We give thanks unto thee, O God, we give thanks, and nigh is thy name: men relate thy wondrous deeds.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Zaburi ya Asafu. Wimbo. Ee Mungu, tunakushukuru, tunakushukuru wewe, kwa kuwa jina lako li karibu; watu husimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.

2 “For I will take up a fixed time when I will judge uprightly.

Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.

3 The earth and all her inhabitants are melting away: I myself establish firmly her pillars.” (Selah)

Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.

4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.

5 Lift not up on high your horn, speak not with a stiffly erect neck.

Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”

6 For neither from the rising [of the sun], nor from [his] setting, nor from the wilderness of mountains [cometh this];

Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.

7 But God is the judge: he lowereth one, and lifteth up another,

Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.

8 For there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foameth, it is full of mixture: and he poureth out of the same; but its lees they drain, they drink—all the wicked of the earth.

Mkononi mwa Bwana kuna kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo unaotoka povu uliochanganywa na vikolezo; huumimina, nao waovu wote wa dunia hunywa mpaka tone la mwisho.

9 But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.

10 And all the horns of the wicked will I hew off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.
