Zaburi 75

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

To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

2 Kwa wakati maalum nitahukumu kwa haki.

Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

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

Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

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

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

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

Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

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

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

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

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

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, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

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

But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto the God of Jacob;

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

But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.
