< 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. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
2 Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.
When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
3 Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.
The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)
4 Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.
I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
5 Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”
Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”
6 Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
7 Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.
But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts 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 LORD’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
9 Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.
But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.
I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
