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.
We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done [for us].
2 Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.
When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will (keep its foundations steady/prevent it from being destroyed).
4 Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.
I say to people who (boast/talk proudly about themselves), ‘Stop bragging!’ and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly [do things to] show how great you are [IDM]!
5 Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.
God is the one who judges people; he says that some have sinned and must be punished, and that others have not done what is wrong.
8 Mkononi mwa Bwana kuna kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo unaotoka povu uliochanganywa na vikolezo; huumimina, nao waovu wote wa dunia hunywa mpaka tone la mwisho.
[It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
9 Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.
But [as for me], I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob [worshiped has done]; I will never quit singing to praise him.
10 Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
