< Psalms 125 >
1 Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.
Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wale wamtumainio Bwana ni kama mlima Sayuni, ambao hauwezi kutikisika, bali wadumu milele.
2 Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.
Kama milima inavyozunguka Yerusalemu, ndivyo Bwana anavyowazunguka watu wake sasa na hata milele.
3 Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.
Fimbo ya waovu haitadumu juu ya nchi waliopewa wenye haki, ili wenye haki wasije wakatumia mikono yao kutenda ubaya.
4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].
Ee Bwana, watendee mema walio wema, wale walio wanyofu wa moyo.
5 But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
Bali wale wanaogeukia njia zilizopotoka, Bwana atawafukuza pamoja na watenda mabaya. Amani iwe juu ya Israeli.
