Psalms 59
1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN SAUL’S SENDING, AND THEY WATCH THE HOUSE TO PUT HIM TO DEATH. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God, Set me on high from my withstanders.
Uniokoe dhidi ya adui zangu, Mungu wangu; uniweke mahali pa juu mbali na wale wanaoinuka dhidi yangu.
2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood.
Uniweke salama mbali na wafanyao kazi ya uovu, na uniokoe dhidi ya watu wenye kiu ya damu.
3 For behold, they laid wait for my soul, Strong ones are assembled against me, Not my transgression nor my sin, O YHWH.
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 punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
Wao wanajiandaa kunikimbiza ingawa sina kosa; amka unisaidie na unitazame.
5 And You, YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Do not favor any treacherous dealers of iniquity. (Selah)
Ewe, Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, inika uwaadhibu mataifa yote; usiwe na huruma kwa mhalifu mwovu yeyote. (Selah)
6 They return at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go around the city.
Wao wanarudi jioni, wanabweka kama mbwa na kuuzungukia mji.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for “Who hears?”
Tazama, wanapiga kelele mbaya kwa midomo yao; panga ziko kwenye midomo yao, maana wanasema, “Ni nani anaye tusikia?”
8 And You, O YHWH, laugh at them, You mock at all the nations.
Lakini wewe, Yahwe, utawacheka; wewe huwadhihaki mataifa yote.
9 O my Strength, to You I take heed, For God [is] my tower—the God of my kindness.
Mungu, nguvu yangu, nitakuwa msikivu kwako; wewe ni mnara wangu mrefu.
10 God goes before me, He causes me to look on my enemies.
Mungu atakutana nami akiwa na uaminifu wa agano lake; Mungu atanifanya nione shauku yangu juu ya adui zangu.
11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget, Shake them by Your strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Usiwaue, hivyo watu watasahau. Uwatawanye kwa nguvu zako na uwaangushe, Bwana ngao yetu.
12 The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And they recount from the curse and lying.
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 Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To 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 return at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go around the city.
Wakati wa jioni wao hurudi, wakibweka kama mbwa wakiuzungukia mji.
15 They wander for food, If they are not satisfied—then they murmur.
Wanatangatanga wakitafuta chakula na wanabweka kama mbwa kama hawajatosheka.
16 And I sing of Your strength, And at morning I sing of Your kindness, For You have been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
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 O my Strength, I sing praise to You, For God [is] my tower, the God of my kindness!
Kwako, nguvu yangu, nitaimba sifa; kwa kuwa Mungu ni mnara wangu mrefu, Mungu wa uaminifu wa agano.
