Zaburi 5
1 Sikiliza nikuitapo, Yahweh; tazama kuugua kwangu.
For the chief musician; with wind instruments. A psalm of David. Listen to my call to you, Yahweh; think about my groanings.
2 Sikiliza sauti yangu nikuitapo, Ee Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa kuwa ni kwako Bwana naomba.
Listen to the sound of my call, my King and my God, for it is to you that I pray.
3 Yahweh; sikia kilio changu asubuhi; na asubuhi nitaleta dua yangu kwako na kungoja kwa matarajio.
Yahweh, in the morning you hear my cry; in the morning I will bring my petition to you and wait expectantly.
4 Hakika wewe ni Mungu usiye kubaliana na uovu; watu waovu hawawezi kuwa wageni wako.
Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people will not be your guests.
5 Wenye kiburi hawata simama katika uwepo wako; wewe unawachukia wote wanaofanya maovu.
The arrogant will not stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.
6 Nawe utawaharibu waongo; Yahweh huwadharau vurugu na watu wadanganyifu.
You will destroy liars; Yahweh despises violent and deceitful men.
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, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; 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.
Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path straight 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 there is no truth in their mouth; their inward being is wicked; their throat is an open tomb; 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.
Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! 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 may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.
12 Kwa maana utawabariki wenye haki, Yahweh; utawazunguka kwa neema kama ngao.
For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh; you will surround them with favor as with a shield.
