Zaburi 5
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa filimbi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, tegea sikio maneno yangu, uangalie kupiga kite kwangu.
For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Hearken to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
2 Sikiliza kilio changu ili unisaidie, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa maana kwako ninaomba.
Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.
3 Asubuhi, unasikia sauti yangu, Ee Bwana; asubuhi naleta haja zangu mbele zako, na kusubiri kwa matumaini.
In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.
4 Wewe si Mungu unayefurahia uovu, kwako mtu mwovu hataishi.
For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
5 Wenye kiburi hawawezi kusimama mbele yako, unawachukia wote watendao mabaya.
Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
6 Unawaangamiza wasemao uongo. Bwana huwachukia wamwagao damu na wadanganyifu.
Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
7 Lakini mimi, kwa rehema zako kuu, nitakuja katika nyumba yako, kwa unyenyekevu, nitasujudu kuelekea Hekalu lako takatifu.
But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
8 Niongoze katika haki yako, Ee Bwana, kwa sababu ya adui zangu, nyoosha njia yako mbele yangu.
Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before thy 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 there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
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.
Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
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 that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.
12 Kwa hakika, Ee Bwana, unawabariki wenye haki, unawazunguka kwa wema wako kama ngao.
For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.
