Zaburi 64

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, unisikie ninapoeleza lalamiko langu, uyahifadhi maisha yangu kutokana na vitisho vya adui.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:

2 Unifiche kutokana na shauri la siri la waovu, kutokana na zile kelele za kundi la watenda mabaya.

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

3 Wananoa ndimi zao kama panga na kuelekeza maneno yao kama mishale ya kufisha.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

4 Hurusha mishale kutoka kwenye mavizio kwa mtu asiye na hatia, humrushia ghafula bila woga.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Kila mmoja humtia moyo mwenzake katika mipango mibaya; huzungumza juu ya kuficha mitego yao, nao husema, “Ni nani ataiona?”

They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

6 Hufanya shauri baya la dhuluma na kusema, “Tumebuni mpango mkamilifu!” Hakika nia na moyo wa mwanadamu vina hila.

They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

7 Bali Mungu atawapiga kwa mishale, nao ghafula wataangushwa.

But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

8 Atageuza ndimi zao wenyewe dhidi yao na kuwaleta kwenye maangamizi; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao kwa dharau.

By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

9 Wanadamu wote wataogopa, watatangaza kazi za Mungu na kutafakari yale aliyoyatenda.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

10 Wenye haki na wafurahi katika Bwana, na wakimbilie kwake; wanyofu wote wa moyo na wamsifu yeye!

The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
