Zaburi 75

1 Tunatoa shukrani kwako, Mungu; tunatoa shukrani, maana wewe unaufunua uwepo wako; watu huzungumza kuhusu kazi zako za ajabu.

For the leader; al tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We praise you, God, we praise you: we would call on your name and declare your wonders.

2 Kwa wakati maalum nitahukumu kwa haki.

“At the time I choose, I will judge fairly.

3 Ingawa nchi na wenyeji wote watatikisika katika hofu, ninaifanyia nchi nguzo za kutosha. (Selah)

Though earth melt and all her inhabitants, it is I who keep steady her pillars.” (Selah)

4 Nilisema kwa wenye kiburi, “Msiwe wenye kiburi,” na kwa waovu, “Msiinue mapembe.

I say to the boasters, “Boast not”; to the wicked, “Lift not up your horn:

5 Msiinue mapembe yenu kwenye marefu; wala msizungumze kwa shingo ya kiburi.”

lift not your horn on high, speak not boldly against the Rock.”

6 Sio kutoka mashariki au magharibi, na wala sio kutoka jangwani ambako kuinuliwa kunakuja.

For not from east nor west, not from desert nor mountains;

7 Bali Mungu ni muhumkumu; humshusha huyu na kumuinua huyu.

but God himself is the judge, humbling one and exalting 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.

In the hand of the Lord is a cup foaming wine, richly spiced. Out of this he pours a draught, and all the wicked of earth must drain it down to the dregs.

9 Bali mimi nitaendelea kusema yale ambayo umeyatenda; nami nitamwimbia sifa Mungu wa Yakobo.

But I will rejoice forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 Yeye husema, “Nitayakata mapembe yote ya waovu, lakini mapembe ya wenye haki yatainuliwa.”

I will hew all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted.
