Zaburi 5
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa filimbi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, tegea sikio maneno yangu, uangalie kupiga kite kwangu.
To the chief music-maker on wind instruments. A Psalm. Of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord; give thought to my heart-searchings.
2 Sikiliza kilio changu ili unisaidie, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa maana kwako ninaomba.
Let the voice of my cry come to you, my King and my God; for to you will I make my prayer.
3 Asubuhi, unasikia sauti yangu, Ee Bwana; asubuhi naleta haja zangu mbele zako, na kusubiri kwa matumaini.
My voice will come to you in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I send my prayer to you, and keep watch.
4 Wewe si Mungu unayefurahia uovu, kwako mtu mwovu hataishi.
For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wrongdoing; there is no evil with you.
5 Wenye kiburi hawawezi kusimama mbele yako, unawachukia wote watendao mabaya.
The sons of pride have no place before you; you are a hater of all workers of evil.
6 Unawaangamiza wasemao uongo. Bwana huwachukia wamwagao damu na wadanganyifu.
You will send destruction on those whose words are false; the cruel man and the man of deceit are hated by the Lord.
7 Lakini mimi, kwa rehema zako kuu, nitakuja katika nyumba yako, kwa unyenyekevu, nitasujudu kuelekea Hekalu lako takatifu.
But as for me, I will come into your house, in the full measure of your mercy; and in your fear I will give worship, turning my eyes to your holy Temple.
8 Niongoze katika haki yako, Ee Bwana, kwa sababu ya adui zangu, nyoosha njia yako mbele yangu.
Be my guide, O Lord, in the ways of your righteousness, because of those who are against me; make your way straight before my face.
9 Hakuna neno kinywani mwao linaloweza kuaminika, mioyo yao imejaa maangamizi. Koo lao ni kaburi lililo wazi, kwa ndimi zao, wao hunena udanganyifu.
For no faith may be put in their words; their inner part is nothing but evil; their throat is like an open place for the dead; smooth are the words of their tongues.
10 Uwatangaze kuwa wenye hatia, Ee Mungu! Hila zao ziwe anguko lao wenyewe. Wafukuzie mbali kwa sababu ya dhambi zao nyingi, kwa kuwa wamekuasi wewe.
Send them to destruction, O Lord; let their evil designs be the cause of their fall; let them be forced out by all their sins; because they have gone against your authority.
11 Lakini wote wakimbiliao kwako na wafurahi, waimbe kwa shangwe daima. Ueneze ulinzi wako juu yao, ili wale wapendao jina lako wapate kukushangilia.
But let all those who put their faith in you be glad with cries of joy at all times, and let all the lovers of your name be glad in you.
12 Kwa hakika, Ee Bwana, unawabariki wenye haki, unawazunguka kwa wema wako kama ngao.
For you, Lord, will send a blessing on the upright man; your grace will be round him, and you will be his strength.
