Zaburi 36
1 Dhambi hunena kama unabii katika moyo wa mwovu; machoni mwake hamna hofu ya Mungu.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Kwa maana yeye hujifariji mwenyewe, akifikiria kuwa dhambi zake hazitagundulika na kuchukiwa.
For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.
3 Maneno yake ni yenye dhambi na udanganyifu; hataki kuwa mwenye hekima na kutenda mema.
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
4 Alalapo kitandani, hupanga namna ya kutenda dhambi; yeye hukaa nje kwenye nja ya uovu; yeye hakatai uovu.
Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
5 Uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, unafika mbinguni; uaminifu wako unafika mawinguni.
Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Haki yako ni kama milima ya Mungu; hukumu yako ni kama kina kirefu. Yahwe, wewe huwahifadhi wote wanadamu na wanyama.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7 Ni jinsi gani uaminifu wa aganao lako ni wa thamani, Mungu! Watu hukimbilia usalama chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.
How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!
8 Nao watatoshelezwa tele na utajiri wa chakula nyumbani mwako; utawafanya wanywe kutoka katika mto wa baraka zako za thamani.
They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.
9 Kwa kuwa mna chemichemi ya uzima; na katika mwanga wako tutaiona nuru.
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
10 Uupanue uaminifu wa agano lako kikamilifu kwa wale wanao kujua wewe, ulinzi wako uwe juu ya wanyoofu wa moyo.
Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Usiuache mguu wa mwenye kiburi unisogelee. Usiiache mkono wa mwovu unitoweshe.
Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Kule wafanyao maovu wameanguka; wameharibiwa hawawezi kuinuka.
There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
