Psalms 5
1 [For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, Jehovah. Consider my (meditation)
Sikiliza nikuitapo, Yahweh; tazama kuugua kwangu.
2 Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
Sikiliza sauti yangu nikuitapo, Ee Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa kuwa ni kwako Bwana naomba.
3 Jehovah, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.
Yahweh; sikia kilio changu asubuhi; na asubuhi nitaleta dua yangu kwako na kungoja kwa matarajio.
4 For you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.
Hakika wewe ni Mungu usiye kubaliana na uovu; watu waovu hawawezi kuwa wageni wako.
5 The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.
Wenye kiburi hawata simama katika uwepo wako; wewe unawachukia wote wanaofanya maovu.
6 You will destroy those who speak lies. Jehovah despises a person of bloodshed and deceit.
Nawe utawaharibu waongo; Yahweh huwadharau vurugu na watu wadanganyifu.
7 But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will enter into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
Lakini kwangu mimi, kwa sababu ya ukuu na uaminifu wa agano lako, nitakuja nyumbani mwako; na kwa heshima nitakuinamia mbele ya hekalu lako takatifu.
8 Lead me, Jehovah, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before me.
Oh Bwana, uniongoze katika haki yako kwa sababu ya adui zangu; usawazishe njia yako mbele yangu.
9 For there is nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.
Kwa kuwa midomoni mwao hamna ukweli; utu wao wa ndani ni mwovu; makoo yao ni kaburi lililo wazi; husifu kinafiki kwa ulimi wao.
10 Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out because of the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
Mungu, wafanye kuwa na hatia; mipango yao iwe kuanguka kwao! Kwa ajili ya makosa yao mengi uwatoe nje, kwa kuwa wamekuasi wewe.
11 But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. And let those who love your name be joyful in you.
Bali wale wanao kukimbilia wafurahi; uwafanye wapige kelele kwa shangwe siku zote kwa sababu unawapigania; uwafanye wenye furaha ndani yako, wale walipendao jina lako.
12 For you bless the righteous, Jehovah. You surround him with favor like a shield.
Kwa maana utawabariki wenye haki, Yahweh; utawazunguka kwa neema kama ngao.
