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,

Dhambi hunena kama unabii katika moyo wa mwovu; machoni mwake hamna hofu ya Mungu.

2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

Kwa maana yeye hujifariji mwenyewe, akifikiria kuwa dhambi zake hazitagundulika na kuchukiwa.

3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.

Maneno yake ni yenye dhambi na udanganyifu; hataki 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.”

Alalapo kitandani, hupanga namna ya kutenda dhambi; yeye hukaa nje kwenye nja ya uovu; yeye hakatai uovu.

5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.

Uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, unafika mbinguni; uaminifu wako unafika mawinguni.

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 ya Mungu; hukumu yako ni kama kina kirefu. Yahwe, wewe huwahifadhi wote wanadamu na wanyama.

7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.

Ni jinsi gani uaminifu wa aganao lako ni wa thamani, Mungu! Watu hukimbilia usalama chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.

8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.

Nao watatoshelezwa tele na utajiri wa chakula nyumbani mwako; utawafanya wanywe kutoka katika mto wa baraka zako za thamani.

9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.

Kwa kuwa mna chemichemi ya uzima; na katika mwanga wako tutaiona nuru.

10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.

Uupanue uaminifu wa agano lako kikamilifu kwa wale wanao kujua wewe, ulinzi wako uwe juu ya wanyoofu wa moyo.

11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.

Usiuache mguu wa mwenye kiburi unisogelee. Usiiache mkono wa mwovu unitoweshe.

12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

Kule wafanyao maovu wameanguka; wameharibiwa hawawezi kuinuka.
