Psalms 50
1 A Melody of Asaph. El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:
Mungu, Mwenye nguvu, Yahwe, amenena naye aliita nchi toka mawio ya jua mpaka machweo yake.
2 Out of Zion the perfection of beauty, God, hath shone forth.
Tokea Sayuni, Mungu ameangaza, ukamilifu wa uzuri.
3 Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire—before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:
Mungu wetu huja naye hakai kimya; mbele yake moto hula, na kuna dhoruba kubwa karibu naye.
4 He calleth, Unto the heavens above, And unto the earth, That he may judge his people.
Yeye huziita mbingu zilizo juu na nchi ili kwamba aweze kuwahukumu watu wake:
5 Gather yourselves unto me—ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.
Kwa pamoja kusanyikeni waaminifu wangu kwangu, wale waliofanya nami agano kwa sadaka.”
6 Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. (Selah)
Mbingu zitatangaza haki yake, kwa maana Mungu mwenyewe ndiye jaji. Serah
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am: —
Sikilizeni, watu wangu, nami nitazungumza; mimi ni Mungu, Mungu wenu.
8 Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually:
Sitawakaripia ninyi kwa ajili ya sadaka zenu; sadaka zenu za kuteketeza ziko nami siku zote.
9 I will not take out of thy house—a bullock, Nor out of thy folds—he-goats;
Sitachukua ng'ombe katika nyumba yenu, wala beberu katika mazizi yenu.
10 For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands;
Kwa maana kila mnyama wa msituni ni wangu, nao ng'ombe kwenye milima elfu ni wangu.
11 I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:
Ninawajua ndege wa mlimani, na wanyama pori katika shamba ni wangu.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.
Kama ningekuwa na njaa, nisingewaambia ninyi; maana ulimwengu ni wangu, na vyote vilivyomo.
13 Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he-goats, will I drink?
Je! sitakula nyama ya ngombe na kunywa damu ya mbuzi?
14 Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows;
Mtoleeni Mungu sadaka za shukurani, na mlipe viapo vyenu kwa Aliye Juu.
15 Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.
Mniite katika siku ya shida; nami nitawaokoa
16 But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?
Lakini kwa waovu Mungu anasema, “Inawahusu nini kuitangaza hali yangu, kwamba ninyi mmeliweka agano langu mdomoni mwenu,
17 Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;
wakati ninyi mnayachukia maelekezo na mnayatupa maneno yangu?
18 If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, —And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;
Mumuanapo mwizi, ninyi hukubaliana naye; ninyi na mnashirikiana na wale wafanyao uasherati.
19 Thy mouth, hast thou thrust into wickedness, And, thy tongue, kept weaving deceit;
Mwautoa mdomo wenu kwa mabaya, huelezea udanganyifu.
20 Thou wouldst sit down—Against thine own brother, wouldst thou speak, Against thine own mother’s son, wouldst thou expose a fault: —
Mnakaa na kuongea dhidi ya ndugu yenu; na kukashfu mwana wa mama yenu.
21 These things, hast thou done, and I have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set [thine offences] in order before thine eyes.
Mmefanya mambo haya, lakini nimekaa kimya, hivyo mlidhani kuwa ni mtu flani nilliye kama ninyi mlivyo. Lakini nitawakaripia ninyi na kuwafunua, mbele ya macho yenu, mambo yote miliyofanya.
22 Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of GOD, Lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver: —
Mlitilie maanani hili, ninyi mnao msahau Mungu, vinginevyo nitawakata ninyi vipande vipande, na hatakuwepo yeyote wakuja kuwasaidia!
23 He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me, —And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.
Yule atoaye sadaka ya shukurani hunitukuza, na yeyote apangaye njia zake katika namna iliyo sahihi nitamuonesha wokovu wa Mungu.”
