Zaburi 52

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Baada ya Doegi, Mwedomu kumwendea Sauli na kumjulisha kuwa: “Daudi amekwenda nyumbani kwa Ahimeleki.” Ewe jitu, mbona unajivunia ubaya? Kwa nini unajivuna mchana kutwa, wewe ambaye ni fedheha mbele za Mungu?

To the choirmaster a poem of David. When came - Doeg the Edomite and he told to Saul and he said to him he has gone David to [the] house of Ahimelech. Why? do you boast in evil O mighty [man] [the] covenant loyalty of God [is] all the day.

2 Ulimi wako hupanga mashauri mabaya ya maangamizi. Ni kama wembe mkali, ninyi mfanyao hila.

Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.

3 Unapenda mabaya kuliko mema, uongo kuliko kusema kweli.

You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)

4 Unapenda kila neno lenye kudhuru, ewe ulimi wenye hila!

You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.

5 Hakika Mungu atakushusha chini kwa maangamizi ya milele: atakunyakua na kukuondoa kwa nguvu kutoka hema yako, atakungʼoa kutoka nchi ya walio hai.

Also God he will tear down you to perpetuity he will snatch up you and he will tear away you from a tent and he will root up you from [the] land of living [people] (Selah)

6 Wenye haki wataona na kuogopa, watamcheka, wakisema,

So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.

7 “Huyu ni yule mtu ambaye hakumfanya Mungu kuwa ngome yake, bali alitumainia wingi wa utajiri wake, na akawa hodari kwa kuwaangamiza wengine!”

There! the man [who] not he made God refuge his and he trusted in [the] greatness of rich[es] his he was strong in destruction his.

8 Lakini mimi ni kama mti wa mzeituni unaostawi katika nyumba ya Mungu, nautegemea upendo wa Mungu usiokoma milele na milele.

And I - [am] like an olive tree luxuriant in [the] house of God I trust in [the] covenant loyalty of God forever and ever.

9 Nitakusifu milele kwa yale uliyoyatenda, nitatumaini jina lako, kwa kuwa jina lako ni jema. Nitakusifu mbele ya watakatifu wako.

I will give thanks to you for ever for you have acted and I may wait for name your for [it is] good before faithful [people] your.
