Zaburi 5
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa filimbi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, tegea sikio maneno yangu, uangalie kupiga kite kwangu.
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)
2 Sikiliza kilio changu ili unisaidie, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa maana kwako ninaomba.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray.
3 Asubuhi, unasikia sauti yangu, Ee Bwana; asubuhi naleta haja zangu mbele zako, na kusubiri kwa matumaini.
My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.
4 Wewe si Mungu unayefurahia uovu, kwako mtu mwovu hataishi.
For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
5 Wenye kiburi hawawezi kusimama mbele yako, unawachukia wote watendao mabaya.
The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Unawaangamiza wasemao uongo. Bwana huwachukia wamwagao damu na wadanganyifu.
You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will detest the bloody and deceitful man.
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 multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
8 Niongoze katika haki yako, Ee Bwana, kwa sababu ya adui zangu, nyoosha njia yako mbele yangu.
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; 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 there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.
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.
Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.
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 that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.
12 Kwa hakika, Ee Bwana, unawabariki wenye haki, unawazunguka kwa wema wako kama ngao.
For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favour will you compass him as with a shield.
