Psalms 36
1 [For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of YHWH.] Transgression speaks to the wicked within his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi mtumishi wa Bwana. Kuna neno moyoni mwangu kuhusu hali ya dhambi ya mwovu. Hakuna hofu ya Mungu mbele ya macho yake.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
Kwa kuwa machoni pake mwenyewe hujisifu mno hata hawezi kugundua au kuichukia dhambi yake.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
Maneno ya kinywa chake ni maovu na ya udanganyifu, ameacha kuwa mwenye hekima na kutenda mema.
4 He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.
Hata kitandani mwake hupanga hila mbaya, hujitia katika njia ya dhambi na hakatai lililo baya.
5 Your loving kindness, YHWH, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Upendo wako, Ee Bwana, unafika hadi mbinguni, uaminifu wako hadi kwenye anga.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. YHWH, you preserve man and animal.
Haki yako ni kama milima mikubwa, hukumu zako ni kama kilindi kikuu. Ee Bwana, wewe huwahifadhi mwanadamu na mnyama.
7 How precious is your loving kindness, God. The descendants of Adam take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
Upendo wako usiokoma ni wa thamani mno! Watu wakuu na wadogo hujificha uvulini wa mbawa zako.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
Wanajifurahisha katika wingi nyumbani mwako, nawe utawanywesha katika mto wa furaha zako.
9 For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
Kuwa pamoja nawe ni kijito cha uzima, katika nuru yako twaona nuru.
10 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Dumisha upendo wako kwa wale wanaokujua wewe, haki yako kwa wale walio wanyofu wa moyo.
11 Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Mguu wa mwenye kiburi usije dhidi yangu, wala mkono wa mwovu usinifukuze.
12 There evildoers are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
Angalia jinsi watenda mabaya walivyoanguka: wametupwa chini, hawawezi kuinuka!
