Zaburi 26

1 Unihukumu mimi, Yahwe, kwa kuwa nimeenenda katika uadilifu; nimeamini katika Yahwe bila kusita.

By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

2 Unichunguze, Yahwe, na unijaribu; uujaribu usafi wa sehemu zangu za ndani na moyoni mwangu!

Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins and my heart.

3 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako uko mbele ya macho yangu, na mwenendo wangu ni katika uaminifu wako.

For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

4 Mimi sichangamani na watu waovu, wala sichangamani na watu wanafiki.

I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

5 Ninachukia waovu, na siishi na waovu.

I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

6 Ninaosha mikono yangu kounesha sina hatia, na kuikaribia madhabahu yako, Yahwe,

I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

7 kuimba wimbo wa sauti ya sifa na kutoa taarifa ya matendo yako yote ya ajabu.

To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

8 Yahwe, ninaipenda nyumba ninayoishi, mahali ambapo utukufu wako unaishi!

Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

9 Usiniangamize pamoja na wenye dhambi, au maisha yangu na watu wenye kiu ya kumwaga damu,

Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

10 ambao katika mikono yao kuna njama, na ambao mkono wa kuume umejaa rushwa.

In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand [is] full of bribes.

11 Lakini kwangu mimi, nitaenenda katika uadilifu; uniokoe na unihurumie.

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

12 Miguu yangu husimama sehemu salama; katika kusanyiko la watu nitambariki Yahwe!

My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
