Zaburi 36
1 Dhambi hunena kama unabii katika moyo wa mwovu; machoni mwake hamna hofu ya Mungu.
The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Kwa maana yeye hujifariji mwenyewe, akifikiria kuwa dhambi zake hazitagundulika na kuchukiwa.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3 Maneno yake ni yenye dhambi na udanganyifu; hataki kuwa mwenye hekima na kutenda mema.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good.
4 Alalapo kitandani, hupanga namna ya kutenda dhambi; yeye hukaa nje kwenye nja ya uovu; yeye hakatai uovu.
He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he detests not evil.
5 Uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, unafika mbinguni; uaminifu wako unafika mawinguni.
Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reachs unto 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 great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: 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 excellent is your loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under 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 shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 Kwa kuwa mna chemichemi ya uzima; na katika mwanga wako tutaiona nuru.
For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.
10 Uupanue uaminifu wa agano lako kikamilifu kwa wale wanao kujua wewe, ulinzi wako uwe juu ya wanyoofu wa moyo.
O continue your loving kindness unto them that 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 pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12 Kule wafanyao maovu wameanguka; wameharibiwa hawawezi kuinuka.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
