Zaburi 5
1 Sikiliza nikuitapo, Yahweh; tazama kuugua kwangu.
For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
2 Sikiliza sauti yangu nikuitapo, Ee Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa kuwa ni kwako Bwana naomba.
Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.
3 Yahweh; sikia kilio changu asubuhi; na asubuhi nitaleta dua yangu kwako na kungoja kwa matarajio.
In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.
4 Hakika wewe ni Mungu usiye kubaliana na uovu; watu waovu hawawezi kuwa wageni wako.
For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.
5 Wenye kiburi hawata simama katika uwepo wako; wewe unawachukia wote wanaofanya maovu.
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Nawe utawaharibu waongo; Yahweh huwadharau vurugu na watu wadanganyifu.
You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
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 I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.
8 Oh Bwana, uniongoze katika haki yako kwa sababu ya adui zangu; usawazishe njia yako mbele yangu.
Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.
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 not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
10 Mungu, wafanye kuwa na hatia; mipango yao iwe kuanguka kwao! Kwa ajili ya makosa yao mengi uwatoe nje, kwa kuwa wamekuasi wewe.
Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
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 who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
12 Kwa maana utawabariki wenye haki, Yahweh; utawazunguka kwa neema kama ngao.
For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
