Psalms 140
1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Rescue me O Yahweh from a man evil from a man of violence you will preserve me.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, niokoe, kutoka kwa watu waovu; nilinde na watu wenye jeuri,
2 [those] who They plan evil things in [the] heart every day they stir up trouble wars.
ambao hupanga mipango mibaya mioyoni mwao, na kuchochea vita siku zote.
3 They sharpen tongue their like a snake [the] venom of a viper [is] under lips their (Selah)
Wao hufanya ndimi zao kali kama za nyoka, sumu ya nyoka iko midomoni mwao.
4 Keep me O Yahweh - from [the] hands of [the] wicked from a man of violence you will preserve me [those] who they have planned to trip up footsteps my.
Ee Bwana, niepushe na mikono ya waovu; nilinde na watu wenye jeuri wanaopanga kunikwaza miguu yangu.
5 They have hidden proud [people] - a trap for me and ropes they have spread a net to [the] side of a track snares they have set for me (Selah)
Wenye kiburi wameficha mtego wa kuninasa, wametandaza kamba za wavu wao, wametega mitego kwenye njia yangu.
6 I say to Yahweh [are] God my you give ear to! O Yahweh [the] sound of supplications my.
Ee Bwana, ninakuambia, “Wewe ni Mungu wangu.” Ee Bwana, usikie kilio changu na kunihurumia.
7 O Yahweh O Lord [the] strength of salvation my you cover head my in a day of weaponry.
Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, Mwokozi wangu mwenye nguvu, unikingaye kichwa changu siku ya vita:
8 May not you grant O Yahweh [the] desires of [the] wicked plot his may not you promote they will arise (Selah)
Ee Bwana, usiwape waovu matakwa yao, usiache mipango yao ikafanikiwa, wasije wakajisifu.
9 [the] head of Surroundings my [the] mischief of lips their (may it cover them. *Q(K)*)
Vichwa vya wanaonizunguka vifunikwe na shida zinazosababishwa na midomo yao.
10 (May they be dropped *Q(K)*) on them burning coals in the fire let someone make fall them in pits [which] not they will arise.
Makaa ya mawe ya moto na yawaangukie! Na watupwe motoni, katika mashimo ya matope, wasiinuke tena kamwe.
11 A person of tongue not let him be established in the land a person of violence trouble let it hunt him for blows.
Wasingiziaji wasifanikiwe katika nchi; maafa na yawawinde watu wenye jeuri.
12 (I know *Q(k)*) that he will do Yahweh [the] cause of [the] poor [the] justice of needy [people].
Najua kwamba Bwana huwapatia maskini haki, na kuitegemeza njia ya mhitaji.
13 Surely righteous [people] they will give thanks to name your they will dwell upright [people] with presence your.
Hakika wenye haki watalisifu jina lako, na waadilifu wataishi mbele zako.
