Psalms 64

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) You keep my life from the fear of an enemy,

Sikia sauti yangu, Mungu, usikilize malalamiko yangu; unilinde dhidi ya hofu ya adui zangu.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

Unifiche dhidi ya mipango ya siri ya wafanyao maovu, unifiche dhidi ya watendao vurugu ya udhalimu.

3 Who sharpened their tongue as a sword, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.

Wao wamenoa ndimi zao kama panga; wamelenga mishale yao, maneno machungu,

4 To shoot the perfect in secret places, Suddenly they shoot him, and do not fear.

ili kwamba waweze kupiga kutoka mahali pa siri kwenda kwa mtu asiye na hatia; wampige yeye kwa ghafla nao wasihofu lolote.

5 They strengthen an evil thing for themselves, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, “Who looks at it?”

Wao wanahamasishana wenyewe katika kupanga uovu; wanashauriana pamoja wao binafsi ili kuweka mitego; nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetuona?”

6 They search out perverse things, “We perfected a searching search,” And the inward part of man, and the heart, [are] deep.

Wanabuni mipango ya dhambi; “Tumemaliza,” wanasema, “ni mpango makini.” Mawazo ya ndani na mioyo ya watu ni ya kina.

7 And God shoots them [with] an arrow, Their wounds have been sudden,

Lakini Mungu atawapiga wao; ghafla watajeruhiwa kwa mishale yake.

8 And they cause him to stumble, Their own tongue [is] against them, Every looker on them flees away.

Watafanywa kuwa mashakani, kwa kuwa ndimi zao wenyewe ziko kinyume nao; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao.

9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And they have wisely considered His deed.

Watu wote wataogopa na kutangaza matendo ya Mungu. Kwa hekima watafikiria kuhusu kile yeye ametenda.

10 The righteous rejoice in YHWH, And have trusted in Him, And all the upright of heart boast!

Wenye haki watakuwa na furaha kuhusu Yahwe nao watakimbilia kwake; wote wenye haki moyoni watajivuna katika yeye.
