Zaburi 52
1 Kwa nini wewe unajivunia kufanya uovu, wewe mtu mwenye nguvu? Uaminifu wa agano la Mungu huja kila siku.
For the chief musician. A maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” Why are you proud of making trouble, you mighty man? The covenant faithfulness of God comes every day.
2 Ulimi wako hupanga uharibifu kama wembe mkali, na kufanya udanganyifu.
Your tongue plans destruction like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Wewe unapenda uovu kuliko wema na udanganifu kuliko kuongea haki. (Selah)
You love evil more than good and lying rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
4 Wewe hupenda maneno ambayo huwaumiza wengine, wewe ulimi mdanganyifu.
You love all words that devour others, you deceitful tongue.
5 Vivyo hivyo Mungu atakuadhibu wewe milele; yeye atakuchukua na kukuondoa katika hema yako na kukung'oa katika ardhi ya uhai. (Selah)
God will likewise destroy you forever; he will take you up and pluck you out of your tent and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Wenye haki pia wataona na kuogopa; watamcheka na kusema,
The righteous will also see it and fear; they will laugh at him and say,
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.”
“See, this is a man who did not make God his refuge, but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and he was strong when he destroyed others.”
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 as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house; I will trust in the covenant faithfulness of God forever and ever.
9 Nitakushukuru wewe daima kwa uliyo tenda. Nitalisubiri jina lako, kwa sababu ni zuri, uweponi mwa wantu wako wa kimungu.
I will give you thanks forever for what you have done. I will wait for your name, because it is good, in the presence of your godly people.
