Zaburi 52
1 Kwa nini wewe unajivunia kufanya uovu, wewe mtu mwenye nguvu? Uaminifu wa agano la Mungu huja kila siku.
“To the chief musician, a Maskil of David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Achimelech.” What vauntest thou thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? the kindness of God endureth all the time.
2 Ulimi wako hupanga uharibifu kama wembe mkali, na kufanya udanganyifu.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs, like a sharpened razor, thou worker of deceit.
3 Wewe unapenda uovu kuliko wema na udanganifu kuliko kuongea haki. (Selah)
Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
4 Wewe hupenda maneno ambayo huwaumiza wengine, wewe ulimi mdanganyifu.
Thou lovest all words of destruction, the tongue of deceit.
5 Vivyo hivyo Mungu atakuadhibu wewe milele; yeye atakuchukua na kukuondoa katika hema yako na kukung'oa katika ardhi ya uhai. (Selah)
[Therefore] God will also destroy thee for ever: he will take thee away, and pluck thee out of his tent, and root thee out of the land of life. (Selah)
6 Wenye haki pia wataona na kuogopa; watamcheka na kusema,
And the righteous shall see it, and they will be afraid, and laugh concerning him:
7 “Tazama, huyu ni mtu ambaye hakumfanya Mungu kuwa kimbilio lake la usalama, bali aliamini katika wingi wa mali zake, naye alikuwa na nguvu alipowaharibu wengine.”
“Lo, this is the man that made not God his fortress; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, relied proudly on his mischievous wickedness.”
8 Lakini kwangu mimi, niko kama mti bora wa mzeituni katika nyumba ya Mungu; Nami nitaamini uaminifu wa agano la Mungu milele na milele.
But I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the kindness of God for ever and ever.
9 Nitakushukuru wewe daima kwa uliyo tenda. Nitalisubiri jina lako, kwa sababu ni zuri, uweponi mwa wantu wako wa kimungu.
I will thank thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for [it is] good, before thy pious ones.
