Zaburi 75

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Zaburi ya Asafu. Wimbo. Ee Mungu, tunakushukuru, tunakushukuru wewe, kwa kuwa jina lako li karibu; watu husimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.

Unto you, O God, do we give thanks, unto you do we give thanks: for that your name is near your wondrous works declare.

2 Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

3 Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. (Selah)

4 Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

6 Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.

For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7 Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.

But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.

8 Mkononi mwa Bwana kuna kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo unaotoka povu uliochanganywa na vikolezo; huumimina, nao waovu wote wa dunia hunywa mpaka tone la mwisho.

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

9 Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.

But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
