Psalms 36
1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi mtumishi wa Bwana. Kuna neno moyoni mwangu kuhusu hali ya dhambi ya mwovu. Hakuna hofu ya Mungu mbele ya macho yake.
2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
Kwa kuwa machoni pake mwenyewe hujisifu mno hata hawezi kugundua au kuichukia dhambi yake.
3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.
Maneno ya kinywa chake ni maovu na ya udanganyifu, ameacha kuwa mwenye hekima na kutenda mema.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”
Hata kitandani mwake hupanga hila mbaya, hujitia katika njia ya dhambi na hakatai lililo baya.
5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.
Upendo wako, Ee Bwana, unafika hadi mbinguni, uaminifu wako hadi kwenye anga.
6 Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.
Haki yako ni kama milima mikubwa, hukumu zako ni kama kilindi kikuu. Ee Bwana, wewe huwahifadhi mwanadamu na mnyama.
7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.
Upendo wako usiokoma ni wa thamani mno! Watu wakuu na wadogo hujificha uvulini wa mbawa zako.
8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.
Wanajifurahisha katika wingi nyumbani mwako, nawe utawanywesha katika mto wa furaha zako.
9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.
Kuwa pamoja nawe ni kijito cha uzima, katika nuru yako twaona nuru.
10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
Dumisha upendo wako kwa wale wanaokujua wewe, haki yako kwa wale walio wanyofu wa moyo.
11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.
Mguu wa mwenye kiburi usije dhidi yangu, wala mkono wa mwovu usinifukuze.
12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
Angalia jinsi watenda mabaya walivyoanguka: wametupwa chini, hawawezi kuinuka!
