Zaburi 9
1 Nitamshukuru Yahweh kwa moyo wangu wote; nitayasimulia matendo yako makuu.
To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.
2 Nitafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; nitaliimbia jina lako, Wewe uliye juu.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.
3 Maadui zangu wanaponirudia, hujikwaa na kuangamia mbele zako.
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:
4 Kwa kuwa umenitetea kwa haki; unakaa kwenye kiti chako cha enzi, ukihukumu kwa haki!
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
5 Uliwakemea mataifa; umewaharibu waovu; na kuwa futilia mbali jina lao milele na milele.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 Maadui wamebomoka kama magofu ulipo pindua miji yao. Kumbukumbu yao yote imepotea.
O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.
7 Bali Yahweh anadumu milele; ameweka kiti chake cha enzi kwa ajili ya haki.
But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
8 Naye atauhukumu ulimwengu kwa haki, na atatekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya mataifa kwa haki.
And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
9 Yahweh pia atakuwa ngome kwake aliye onewa, na ngome wakati wa shida.
And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
10 Wale wakujuao jina lako wanaamini katika Wewe, kwa ajili yako, Yahweh, usiwaache wale wakutafutao.
And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Mwibieni sifa Yahweh, anaye tawala katika Sayuni; waambieni mataifa yale aliyo yatenda.
Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
12 Kwa kuwa Mungu alipizae kisasi cha damu hukumbuka; naye hasahau kilio cha anayeonewa.
For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
13 Unihurumie, Yahweh; tazama vile ninavyo onewa na wale wanao nichukia, wewe ambaye unaweza kunikwapua katika lango la kifo.
Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:
14 Oh, ili niweze kutangaza sifa zako. Katika lango la binti sayuni nitaufurahia wokovu wako!
That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.
15 Mataifa yamedidimia chini katika shimo ambalo walilolitengeneza; miguu yao imenaswa kwenye nyavu walioificha wenyewe.
The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Yahweh amejidhihilisha; na kutekeleza hukumu; waovu wameangamia kwa matendo yao wenyewe. (Selah)
Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kwa kuwa mhitaji hata sahauliwa siku zote, wala matumaini ya wanyonge hayatapotea milele.
For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
19 Inuka, Yahweh, usimruhusu mtu kutushinda; mataifa na wahukumiwe mbele zako.
Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.
20 Bwana, waogopeshe; mataifa waweze kutambua kuwa ni wanadamu tu. (Selah)
Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
