< 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.
For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We give thanks to you, God; we give thanks, for you reveal your presence; people tell of your wondrous works.
2 Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.
At the appointed time I will judge fairly.
3 Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.
Though the earth and all the inhabitants shake in fear, I make steady the earth's pillars. (Selah)
4 Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.
I said to the arrogant, “Do not be arrogant,” and to the wicked, “Do not lift up the horn.
5 Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”
Do not lift up your horn to the heights; do not speak with an insolent neck.”
6 Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.
It is not from the east or from the west, and it is not from the wilderness that lifting up comes.
7 Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.
But God is the judge; he brings down and he lifts up.
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 Yahweh holds in his hand a cup of foaming wine, which is mixed with spices, and pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will drink it to the last drop.
9 Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.
But I will continually tell what you have done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.
He says, “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be raised up.”
