< Zaburi 62 >
1 Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; wokovu wangu watoka kwake.
For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. My soul waiteth only upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.
2 Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa kamwe.
He only is my rock and my salvation: [he is] my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 Mpaka lini, ninyi nyote, mtamshambulia mtu, ili kwamba mumpindue yeye kama ukuta ulio inama au kama fensi isiyo imara?
How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay [him], all of you, like a bowing wall, like a tottering fence?
4 Wanashauliana naye ili tu kumshusha chini kutoka kwenye nafasi yake heshimiwa; wao wanapenda kuongea uongo; wanambariki yeye kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyoni mwao wana mlaani yeye. (Selah)
They only consult to thrust him down from his excellency; they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)
5 Katika ukimya ninamsubiri Mungu pekee; kwa maana matumaini yangu yako kwake.
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 Yeye pekee ni mwamba wangu na wokovu wangu; yeye ni mnara wangu mrefu; sitasogezwa.
He only is my rock and my salvation: [he is] my high tower; I shall not be moved.
7 Na Mungu ni wokovu wangu na utukufu wangu; mwamba wa nguvu yangu na kimbilio langu salama liko katika Mungu.
With God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Mwaminini Mungu wakati wote, ninyi watu; mimina moyo wako mbele zake; Mungu ni kimbilio salama kwa ajili yetu. (Selah)
Trust in him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. (Selah)
9 Hakika watu wenye msimamo mdogo ni ubatili, na watu wenye msimamo mkubwa ni waongo; wao watakuwa wepesi kwenye mzani; uzito wao pamoja ni wepesi kuliko kitu chochote.
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: in the balances they will go up; they are together lighter than vanity.
10 Usiamini katika ukandamizaji au wizi; usitumainie utajiri, maana hawatazaa matunda; usiuweke moyo wako kwenye hivyo.
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [thereon].
11 Mungu ameongea mara moja, mara mbili nimesikia hili: nguvu ni za Mungu.
God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God:
12 Pia kwako, Bwana, ni uaminifu wa agano, maana humlipa kila mtu kwa kile alichokifanya.
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
