< Psalms 26 >

1 Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].
Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.
2 Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!
3 I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.
4 I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.
5 I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.
6 Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,
Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,
7 we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.
8 Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!
9 Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,
Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,
10 and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.
11 But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.
12 I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!
