Zaburi 26
1 Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.
Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].
2 Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!
Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
3 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.
I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
4 Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.
I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
5 Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.
I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
6 Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,
Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,
7 kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.
we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
8 Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!
Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
9 Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,
Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,
10 ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.
and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
11 Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.
But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
12 Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!
I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
