Psalms 5

1 [For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, YHWH. Consider my (meditation)

Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa filimbi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, tegea sikio maneno yangu, uangalie kupiga kite kwangu.

2 Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.

Sikiliza kilio changu ili unisaidie, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa maana kwako ninaomba.

3 YHWH, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.

Asubuhi, unasikia sauti yangu, Ee Bwana; asubuhi naleta haja zangu mbele zako, na kusubiri kwa matumaini.

4 For you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

Wewe si Mungu unayefurahia uovu, kwako mtu mwovu hataishi.

5 The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.

Wenye kiburi hawawezi kusimama mbele yako, unawachukia wote watendao mabaya.

6 You will destroy those who speak lies. YHWH despises a person of bloodshed and deceit.

Unawaangamiza wasemao uongo. Bwana huwachukia wamwagao damu na 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 mimi, kwa rehema zako kuu, nitakuja katika nyumba yako, kwa unyenyekevu, nitasujudu kuelekea Hekalu lako takatifu.

8 Lead me, YHWH, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before me.

Niongoze katika haki yako, Ee Bwana, kwa sababu ya adui zangu, nyoosha 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.

Hakuna neno kinywani mwao linaloweza kuaminika, mioyo yao imejaa maangamizi. Koo lao ni kaburi lililo wazi, kwa ndimi zao, wao hunena udanganyifu.

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.

Uwatangaze kuwa wenye hatia, Ee Mungu! Hila zao ziwe anguko lao wenyewe. Wafukuzie mbali kwa sababu ya dhambi zao nyingi, 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.

Lakini wote wakimbiliao kwako na wafurahi, waimbe kwa shangwe daima. Ueneze ulinzi wako juu yao, ili wale wapendao jina lako wapate kukushangilia.

12 For you bless the righteous, YHWH. You surround him with favor like a shield.

Kwa hakika, Ee Bwana, unawabariki wenye haki, unawazunguka kwa wema wako kama ngao.
