Psalms 9
1 To the Chief Musician. On "Muthlabben." A Melody of David. I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, I will recount all thy wonderful doings:
Nitamshukuru Yahweh kwa moyo wangu wote; nitayasimulia matendo yako makuu.
2 I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
Nitafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; nitaliimbia jina lako, Wewe uliye juu.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
Maadui zangu wanaponirudia, hujikwaa na kuangamia mbele zako.
4 For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:
Kwa kuwa umenitetea kwa haki; unakaa kwenye kiti chako cha enzi, ukihukumu kwa haki!
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.
Uliwakemea mataifa; umewaharibu waovu; na kuwa futilia mbali jina lao milele na milele.
6 O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
Maadui wamebomoka kama magofu ulipo pindua miji yao. Kumbukumbu yao yote imepotea.
7 But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
Bali Yahweh anadumu milele; ameweka kiti chake cha enzi kwa ajili ya haki.
8 And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
Naye atauhukumu ulimwengu kwa haki, na atatekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya mataifa kwa haki.
9 Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
Yahweh pia atakuwa ngome kwake aliye onewa, na ngome wakati wa shida.
10 Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.
Wale wakujuao jina lako wanaamini katika Wewe, kwa ajili yako, Yahweh, usiwaache wale wakutafutao.
11 Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.
Mwibieni sifa Yahweh, anaye tawala katika Sayuni; waambieni mataifa yale aliyo yatenda.
12 When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
Kwa kuwa Mungu alipizae kisasi cha damu hukumbuka; naye hasahau kilio cha anayeonewa.
13 Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;
Unihurumie, Yahweh; tazama vile ninavyo onewa na wale wanao nichukia, wewe ambaye unaweza kunikwapua katika lango la kifo.
14 That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.
Oh, ili niweze kutangaza sifa zako. Katika lango la binti sayuni nitaufurahia wokovu wako!
15 The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.
Mataifa yamedidimia chini katika shimo ambalo walilolitengeneza; miguu yao imenaswa kwenye nyavu walioificha wenyewe.
16 To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. [Resounding music. (Selah)
Yahweh amejidhihilisha; na kutekeleza hukumu; waovu wameangamia kwa matendo yao wenyewe. (Selah)
Waovu wamekataliwa na kupelekwa kuzimu, mataifa yote yanayo msahau Mungu. (Sheol h7585)
18 For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, —[nor, ] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
Kwa kuwa mhitaji hata sahauliwa siku zote, wala matumaini ya wanyonge hayatapotea milele.
19 Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
Inuka, Yahweh, usimruhusu mtu kutushinda; mataifa na wahukumiwe mbele zako.
20 Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, —Let the nations know [that] they are men. (Selah)
Bwana, waogopeshe; mataifa waweze kutambua kuwa ni wanadamu tu. (Selah)
