Psalms 75

1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

Tunatoa shukrani kwako, Mungu; tunatoa shukrani, maana wewe unaufunua uwepo wako; watu huzungumza kuhusu kazi zako za ajabu.

2 Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

Kwa wakati maalum nitahukumu kwa haki.

3 Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

Ingawa nchi na wenyeji wote watatikisika katika hofu, ninaifanyia nchi nguzo za kutosha. (Selah)

4 I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

Nilisema kwa wenye kiburi, “Msiwe wenye kiburi,” na kwa waovu, “Msiinue mapembe.

5 Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

Msiinue mapembe yenu kwenye marefu; wala msizungumze kwa shingo ya kiburi.”

6 For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

Sio kutoka mashariki au magharibi, na wala sio kutoka jangwani ambako kuinuliwa kunakuja.

7 For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

Bali Mungu ni muhumkumu; humshusha huyu na kumuinua huyu.

8 For, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

Kwa kuwa Yahwe kashikilia mkononi mwake kikombe cha mvinyo wenye povu, ambao umechanganywa na vilolezo, naye huimimina. Hakika waovu wote wa duniani watakunywa mvinyo hadi tone la mwisho.

9 But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto the God of Jacob;

Bali mimi nitaendelea kusema yale ambayo umeyatenda; nami nitamwimbia sifa Mungu wa Yakobo.

10 But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.

Yeye husema, “Nitayakata mapembe yote ya waovu, lakini mapembe ya wenye haki yatainuliwa.”
