Psalms 26

1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, nithibitishe katika haki, maana nimeishi maisha yasiyo na lawama; nimemtumainia Bwana bila kusitasita.

2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Ee Bwana, unijaribu, unipime, uuchunguze moyo wangu na mawazo yangu;

3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.

kwa maana upendo wako uko mbele yangu daima, nami natembea siku zote katika kweli yako.

4 I have not sat with vain persons; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

Siketi pamoja na watu wadanganyifu, wala siandamani na wanafiki,

5 I hate the congregation of evil-doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

ninachukia kusanyiko la watenda mabaya na ninakataa kuketi pamoja na waovu.

6 I will wash mine hands in innocency; so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

Ninanawa mikono yangu kwa kuwa sina hatia, naikaribia madhabahu yako, Ee Bwana,

7 That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

nikitangaza sifa yako kwa sauti kubwa, huku nikisimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.

8 LORD, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Ee Bwana, naipenda nyumba yako mahali unakoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako hukaa.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood:

Usiiondoe nafsi yangu pamoja na watenda dhambi, wala uhai wangu pamoja na wamwagao damu,

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

ambao mikononi mwao kuna mipango miovu, ambao mikono yao ya kuume imejaa rushwa.

11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

Bali mimi ninaishi maisha yasiyo na lawama; nikomboe na unihurumie.

12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

Miguu yangu imesimama katika uwanja tambarare; katika kusanyiko kuu nitamsifu Bwana.
