Psalms 140

1 to/for to conduct melody to/for David to rescue me LORD from man bad: evil from man violence to watch me

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, niokoe, kutoka kwa watu waovu; nilinde na watu wenye jeuri,

2 which to devise: devise distress: evil in/on/with heart all day: always to quarrel battle

ambao hupanga mipango mibaya mioyoni mwao, na kuchochea vita siku zote.

3 to sharpen tongue their like serpent rage viper underneath: under lips their (Selah)

Wao hufanya ndimi zao kali kama za nyoka, sumu ya nyoka iko midomoni mwao.

4 to keep: guard me LORD from hand wicked from man violence to watch me which to devise: devise to/for to thrust beat my

Ee Bwana, niepushe na mikono ya waovu; nilinde na watu wenye jeuri wanaopanga kunikwaza miguu yangu.

5 to hide proud snare to/for me and cord to spread net to/for hand: to track snare to set: make to/for me (Selah)

Wenye kiburi wameficha mtego wa kuninasa, wametandaza kamba za wavu wao, wametega mitego kwenye njia yangu.

6 to say to/for LORD God my you(m. s.) to listen [emph?] LORD voice supplication my

Ee Bwana, ninakuambia, “Wewe ni Mungu wangu.” Ee Bwana, usikie kilio changu na kunihurumia.

7 YHWH/God Lord strength salvation my to cover to/for head my in/on/with day weapon

Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, Mwokozi wangu mwenye nguvu, unikingaye kichwa changu siku ya vita:

8 not to give: give LORD desire wicked plan his not to promote to exalt (Selah)

Ee Bwana, usiwape waovu matakwa yao, usiache mipango yao ikafanikiwa, wasije wakajisifu.

9 head surrounds my trouble lips their (to cover them *Q(K)*)

Vichwa vya wanaonizunguka vifunikwe na shida zinazosababishwa na midomo yao.

10 (to shake *Q(K)*) upon them coal in/on/with fire to fall: fall them in/on/with flood not to arise: rise

Makaa ya mawe ya moto na yawaangukie! Na watupwe motoni, katika mashimo ya matope, wasiinuke tena kamwe.

11 man tongue not to establish: establish in/on/with land: country/planet man violence bad: evil to hunt him to/for thrust

Wasingiziaji wasifanikiwe katika nchi; maafa na yawawinde watu wenye jeuri.

12 (to know *Q(k)*) for to make: do LORD judgment afflicted justice needy

Najua kwamba Bwana huwapatia maskini haki, na kuitegemeza njia ya mhitaji.

13 surely righteous to give thanks to/for name your to dwell upright with face your

Hakika wenye haki watalisifu jina lako, na waadilifu wataishi mbele zako.
