Zaburi 36
1 Dhambi hunena kama unabii katika moyo wa mwovu; machoni mwake hamna hofu ya Mungu.
To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith 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 flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity is 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 hath ceased 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 deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, unafika mbinguni; uaminifu wako unafika mawinguni.
Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [reacheth] to the clouds.
6 Haki yako ni kama milima ya Mungu; hukumu yako ni kama kina kirefu. Yahwe, wewe huwahifadhi wote wanadamu na wanyama.
Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest 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] thy loving-kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy 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 thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 Kwa kuwa mna chemichemi ya uzima; na katika mwanga wako tutaiona nuru.
For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy 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 thy loving-kindness to them that know thee; and thy 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.
