Psalms 75

1 For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We give thanks to you, God; we give thanks, for you reveal your presence; people tell of your wondrous works.

Tunatoa shukrani kwako, Mungu; tunatoa shukrani, maana wewe unaufunua uwepo wako; watu huzungumza kuhusu kazi zako za ajabu.

2 At the appointed time I will judge fairly.

Kwa wakati maalum nitahukumu kwa haki.

3 Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)

Ingawa nchi na wenyeji wote watatikisika katika hofu, ninaifanyia nchi nguzo za kutosha. (Selah)

4 I said to the arrogant, “Do not be arrogant,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.

Nilisema kwa wenye kiburi, “Msiwe wenye kiburi,” na kwa waovu, “Msiinue mapembe.

5 Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”

Msiinue mapembe yenu kwenye marefu; wala msizungumze kwa shingo ya kiburi.”

6 It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.

Sio kutoka mashariki au magharibi, na wala sio kutoka jangwani ambako kuinuliwa kunakuja.

7 But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts up.

Bali Mungu ni muhumkumu; humshusha huyu na kumuinua huyu.

8 For Yahweh holds in his hand a cup of foaming wine, which is mixed with spices, and pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will drink it to the last drop.

Kwa kuwa Yahwe kashikilia mkononi mwake kikombe cha mvinyo wenye povu, ambao umechanganywa na vilolezo, naye huimimina. Hakika waovu wote wa duniani watakunywa mvinyo hadi tone la mwisho.

9 But I will continually tell what you have done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Bali mimi nitaendelea kusema yale ambayo umeyatenda; nami nitamwimbia sifa Mungu wa Yakobo.

10 He says, “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be raised up.”

Yeye husema, “Nitayakata mapembe yote ya waovu, lakini mapembe ya wenye haki yatainuliwa.”
