Psalms 52
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him, —David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech. Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] all the day.
Kwa nini wewe unajivunia kufanya uovu, wewe mtu mwenye nguvu? Uaminifu wa agano la Mungu huja kila siku.
2 Engulfing ruin, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;
Ulimi wako hupanga uharibifu kama wembe mkali, na kufanya udanganyifu.
3 Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Wewe unapenda uovu kuliko wema na udanganifu kuliko kuongea haki. (Selah)
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
Wewe hupenda maneno ambayo huwaumiza wengine, wewe ulimi mdanganyifu.
5 GOD also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot thee, out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Vivyo hivyo Mungu atakuadhibu wewe milele; yeye atakuchukua na kukuondoa katika hema yako na kukung'oa katika ardhi ya uhai. (Selah)
6 The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:
Wenye haki pia wataona na kuogopa; watamcheka na kusema,
7 Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, —But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!
“Tazama, huyu ni mtu ambaye hakumfanya Mungu kuwa kimbilio lake la usalama, bali aliamini katika wingi wa mali zake, naye alikuwa na nguvu alipowaharibu wengine.”
8 But, I, am like a flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.
Lakini kwangu mimi, niko kama mti bora wa mzeituni katika nyumba ya Mungu; Nami nitaamini uaminifu wa agano la Mungu milele na milele.
9 I will praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, —And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.
Nitakushukuru wewe daima kwa uliyo tenda. Nitalisubiri jina lako, kwa sababu ni zuri, uweponi mwa wantu wako wa kimungu.
