Zaburi 5
1 Sikiliza nikuitapo, Yahweh; tazama kuugua kwangu.
For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)
2 Sikiliza sauti yangu nikuitapo, Ee Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa kuwa ni kwako Bwana naomba.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
3 Yahweh; sikia kilio changu asubuhi; na asubuhi nitaleta dua yangu kwako na kungoja kwa matarajio.
O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.
4 Hakika wewe ni Mungu usiye kubaliana na uovu; watu waovu hawawezi kuwa wageni wako.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 Wenye kiburi hawata simama katika uwepo wako; wewe unawachukia wote wanaofanya maovu.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Nawe utawaharibu waongo; Yahweh huwadharau vurugu na watu wadanganyifu.
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7 Lakini kwangu mimi, kwa sababu ya ukuu na uaminifu wa agano lako, nitakuja nyumbani mwako; na kwa heshima nitakuinamia mbele ya hekalu lako takatifu.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Oh Bwana, uniongoze katika haki yako kwa sababu ya adui zangu; usawazishe njia yako mbele yangu.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.
9 Kwa kuwa midomoni mwao hamna ukweli; utu wao wa ndani ni mwovu; makoo yao ni kaburi lililo wazi; husifu kinafiki kwa ulimi wao.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.
10 Mungu, wafanye kuwa na hatia; mipango yao iwe kuanguka kwao! Kwa ajili ya makosa yao mengi uwatoe nje, kwa kuwa wamekuasi wewe.
Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.
11 Bali wale wanao kukimbilia wafurahi; uwafanye wapige kelele kwa shangwe siku zote kwa sababu unawapigania; uwafanye wenye furaha ndani yako, wale walipendao jina lako.
But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 Kwa maana utawabariki wenye haki, Yahweh; utawazunguka kwa neema kama ngao.
For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
