Psalms 59
1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm of David. When Saul sent, and they watched the house, to kill him. Rescue me from my foes, O my God, From them who lift themselves up against me, wilt thou set me on high:
Uniokoe dhidi ya adui zangu, Mungu wangu; uniweke mahali pa juu mbali na wale wanaoinuka dhidi yangu.
2 Rescue me, from the workers of iniquity, And, from the men of bloodshed, save me.
Uniweke salama mbali na wafanyao kazi ya uovu, na uniokoe dhidi ya watu wenye kiu ya damu.
3 For lo! they have lain in wait for my life, Mighty ones stir up strife against me, Without transgression of mine, and without sin of mine, O Yahweh;
Maana, tazama, wanasubiria uvamizini waniue. Wafanya maovu wenye nguvu hujikusanya wenyewe pamoja dhidi yangu, lakini sio kwa sababu ya makosa yangu au dhambi yangu, Yahwe.
4 For no iniquity, do they run that they may take their stand, Rouse thyself to meet me, and see.
Wao wanajiandaa kunikimbiza ingawa sina kosa; amka unisaidie na unitazame.
5 Thou, therefore, O Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake, to visit all the nations, Do not show favour to any iniquitous traitors. (Selah)
Ewe, Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, inika uwaadhibu mataifa yote; usiwe na huruma kwa mhalifu mwovu yeyote. (Selah)
6 They return at evening, They grow like a dog, And go round the city.
Wao wanarudi jioni, wanabweka kama mbwa na kuuzungukia mji.
7 Lo! they belch forth with their mouth, Swords, are in their lips, For [say they], Who doth hear?
Tazama, wanapiga kelele mbaya kwa midomo yao; panga ziko kwenye midomo yao, maana wanasema, “Ni nani anaye tusikia?”
8 Thou, therefore, O Yahweh, wilt laugh at them, Thou wilt mock at all nations.
Lakini wewe, Yahwe, utawacheka; wewe huwadhihaki mataifa yote.
9 O my Strength, unto thee, will I make melody, For, God, is my high tower.
Mungu, nguvu yangu, nitakuwa msikivu kwako; wewe ni mnara wangu mrefu.
10 My God of lovingkindness, will come to meet me, God, will let me look on mine adversaries.
Mungu atakutana nami akiwa na uaminifu wa agano lake; Mungu atanifanya nione shauku yangu juu ya adui zangu.
11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget, Cause them to wander by thy strength, and prostrate them, [Thou] our shield, O Lord!
Usiwaue, hivyo watu watasahau. Uwatawanye kwa nguvu zako na uwaangushe, Bwana ngao yetu.
12 The sin of their mouth, The word of their lips, Let them then be captured in their pride, Both for the oath and for the deception they record.
Kwa ajili ya dhambi za midomo yao na maneno ya midomo yao, wakamatwe katika majivuno yao, na kwa laana na uongo ambao wao huelezea.
13 Bring to a full end in wrath, Bring to a full end, that they be no more, —That men may know that, God, is ruling in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Uwamalize katika gadhabu yako, uwamalize ili kwamba wasiwepo tena; wajue kuwa Mungu anatawala katika Yakobo na mwisho wa nchi. (Selah)
14 Let them return, then, at evening, Let them growl like a dog, And go round the city.
Wakati wa jioni wao hurudi, wakibweka kama mbwa wakiuzungukia mji.
15 They, may prowl about for food, —And, if they are not satisfied, then let them whine!
Wanatangatanga wakitafuta chakula na wanabweka kama mbwa kama hawajatosheka.
16 But, I, will sing thy power, And will shout aloud, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, —For thou has become a refuge for me, And a place to flee to in the day of my distress.
Lakini nitaimba kuhusu nguvu zako, na asubuhi nitaimba kuhusu upendo wako imara! maana umekuwa mnara wangu mrefu na kimbilio la usalama katika siku ya taabu.
17 O my Strength, unto thee, will I make melody, For, God, is my high tower, my God of lovingkindness.
Kwako, nguvu yangu, nitaimba sifa; kwa kuwa Mungu ni mnara wangu mrefu, Mungu wa uaminifu wa agano.
