Zaburi 64
1 Sikia sauti yangu, Mungu, usikilize malalamiko yangu; unilinde dhidi ya hofu ya adui zangu.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.
2 Unifiche dhidi ya mipango ya siri ya wafanyao maovu, unifiche dhidi ya watendao vurugu ya udhalimu.
Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.
3 Wao wamenoa ndimi zao kama panga; wamelenga mishale yao, maneno machungu,
They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,
4 ili kwamba waweze kupiga kutoka mahali pa siri kwenda kwa mtu asiye na hatia; wampige yeye kwa ghafla nao wasihofu lolote.
so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.
5 Wao wanahamasishana wenyewe katika kupanga uovu; wanashauriana pamoja wao binafsi ili kuweka mitego; nao husema, “Ni nani atakayetuona?”
They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”
6 Wanabuni mipango ya dhambi; “Tumemaliza,” wanasema, “ni mpango makini.” Mawazo ya ndani na mioyo ya watu ni ya kina.
They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.
7 Lakini Mungu atawapiga wao; ghafla watajeruhiwa kwa mishale yake.
But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.
8 Watafanywa kuwa mashakani, kwa kuwa ndimi zao wenyewe ziko kinyume nao; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao.
They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
9 Watu wote wataogopa na kutangaza matendo ya Mungu. Kwa hekima watafikiria kuhusu kile yeye ametenda.
All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.
10 Wenye haki watakuwa na furaha kuhusu Yahwe nao watakimbilia kwake; wote wenye haki moyoni watajivuna katika yeye.
The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
