Psalms 75

1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, They have recounted Your wonders.

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 When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.

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

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

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

4 I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”

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

5 Do not raise up your horn on high (You speak with a stiff neck).

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

6 For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.

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

7 But God [is] judging, This He makes low—and this He lifts up.

Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.

8 For a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, And the wine has foamed, It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, Surely wring out its dregs, And all the wicked of the earth drink,

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

9 And I declare [it] for all time, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

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

10 And I cut off all horns of the wicked, The horns of the righteous are exalted!

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