Psalms 5

1 To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.' — A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)

Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa filimbi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, tegea sikio maneno yangu, uangalie kupiga kite kwangu.

2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

Sikiliza kilio changu ili unisaidie, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa maana kwako ninaomba.

3 Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

Asubuhi, unasikia sauti yangu, Ee Bwana; asubuhi naleta haja zangu mbele zako, na kusubiri kwa matumaini.

4 For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

Wewe si Mungu unayefurahia uovu, kwako mtu mwovu hataishi.

5 The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

Wenye kiburi hawawezi kusimama mbele yako, unawachukia wote watendao mabaya.

6 Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

Unawaangamiza wasemao uongo. Bwana huwachukia wamwagao damu na wadanganyifu.

7 And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

Lakini mimi, kwa rehema zako kuu, nitakuja katika nyumba yako, kwa unyenyekevu, nitasujudu kuelekea Hekalu lako takatifu.

8 O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

Niongoze katika haki yako, Ee Bwana, kwa sababu ya adui zangu, nyoosha njia yako mbele yangu.

9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

Hakuna neno kinywani mwao linaloweza kuaminika, mioyo yao imejaa maangamizi. Koo lao ni kaburi lililo wazi, kwa ndimi zao, wao hunena udanganyifu.

10 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

Uwatangaze kuwa wenye hatia, Ee Mungu! Hila zao ziwe anguko lao wenyewe. Wafukuzie mbali kwa sababu ya dhambi zao nyingi, kwa kuwa wamekuasi wewe.

11 And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

Lakini wote wakimbiliao kwako na wafurahi, waimbe kwa shangwe daima. Ueneze ulinzi wako juu yao, ili wale wapendao jina lako wapate kukushangilia.

12 For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!

Kwa hakika, Ee Bwana, unawabariki wenye haki, unawazunguka kwa wema wako kama ngao.
