< Zaburi 75 >
1 Tunatoa shukrani kwako, Mungu; tunatoa shukrani, maana wewe unaufunua uwepo wako; watu huzungumza kuhusu kazi zako za ajabu.
For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works.
2 Kwa wakati maalum nitahukumu kwa haki.
When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
3 Ingawa nchi na wenyeji wote watatikisika katika hofu, ninaifanyia nchi nguzo za kutosha. (Selah)
The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)
4 Nilisema kwa wenye kiburi, “Msiwe wenye kiburi,” na kwa waovu, “Msiinue mapembe.
I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
5 Msiinue mapembe yenu kwenye marefu; wala msizungumze kwa shingo ya kiburi.”
Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
6 Sio kutoka mashariki au magharibi, na wala sio kutoka jangwani ambako kuinuliwa kunakuja.
For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
7 Bali Mungu ni muhumkumu; humshusha huyu na kumuinua huyu.
For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
8 Kwa kuwa Yahwe kashikilia mkononi mwake kikombe cha mvinyo wenye povu, ambao umechanganywa na vilolezo, naye huimimina. Hakika waovu wote wa duniani watakunywa mvinyo hadi tone la mwisho.
For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
9 Bali mimi nitaendelea kusema yale ambayo umeyatenda; nami nitamwimbia sifa Mungu wa Yakobo.
But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 Yeye husema, “Nitayakata mapembe yote ya waovu, lakini mapembe ya wenye haki yatainuliwa.”
And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
