Zaburi 9
1 Nitamshukuru Yahweh kwa moyo wangu wote; nitayasimulia matendo yako makuu.
For the chief musician; set to Muth Labben style. A psalm of David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart; I will tell about all your marvelous deeds.
2 Nitafurahi na kushangilia katika wewe; nitaliimbia jina lako, Wewe uliye juu.
I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, Most High!
3 Maadui zangu wanaponirudia, hujikwaa na kuangamia mbele zako.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before you.
4 Kwa kuwa umenitetea kwa haki; unakaa kwenye kiti chako cha enzi, ukihukumu kwa haki!
For you have defended my just cause; you sit on your throne, a righteous judge!
5 Uliwakemea mataifa; umewaharibu waovu; na kuwa futilia mbali jina lao milele na milele.
You rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 Maadui wamebomoka kama magofu ulipo pindua miji yao. Kumbukumbu yao yote imepotea.
The enemy crumbled like ruins when you overthrew their cities. All remembrance of them has perished.
7 Bali Yahweh anadumu milele; ameweka kiti chake cha enzi kwa ajili ya haki.
But Yahweh remains forever; he has established his throne for justice.
8 Naye atauhukumu ulimwengu kwa haki, na atatekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya mataifa kwa haki.
He will judge the world with righteousness, and he will execute judgment for the nations with fairness.
9 Yahweh pia atakuwa ngome kwake aliye onewa, na ngome wakati wa shida.
Yahweh also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Wale wakujuao jina lako wanaamini katika Wewe, kwa ajili yako, Yahweh, usiwaache wale wakutafutao.
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Yahweh, do not abandon those who seek you.
11 Mwibieni sifa Yahweh, anaye tawala katika Sayuni; waambieni mataifa yale aliyo yatenda.
Sing praises to Yahweh, who rules in Zion; tell the nations what he has done.
12 Kwa kuwa Mungu alipizae kisasi cha damu hukumbuka; naye hasahau kilio cha anayeonewa.
For the God who avenges bloodshed remembers; he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.
13 Unihurumie, Yahweh; tazama vile ninavyo onewa na wale wanao nichukia, wewe ambaye unaweza kunikwapua katika lango la kifo.
Have mercy on me, Yahweh; see how I am oppressed by those who hate me, you who can snatch me from the gates of death.
14 Oh, ili niweze kutangaza sifa zako. Katika lango la binti sayuni nitaufurahia wokovu wako!
Oh, that I might proclaim all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation!
15 Mataifa yamedidimia chini katika shimo ambalo walilolitengeneza; miguu yao imenaswa kwenye nyavu walioificha wenyewe.
The nations have sunk down into the pit that they made; their feet are caught in the net that they hid.
16 Yahweh amejidhihilisha; na kutekeleza hukumu; waovu wameangamia kwa matendo yao wenyewe. (Selah)
Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked is ensnared by his own actions. (Selah)
The wicked are turned back and sent to 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 will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the oppressed be forever dashed.
19 Inuka, Yahweh, usimruhusu mtu kutushinda; mataifa na wahukumiwe mbele zako.
Arise, Yahweh; do not let man win against you; may the nations be judged in your sight.
20 Bwana, waogopeshe; mataifa waweze kutambua kuwa ni wanadamu tu. (Selah)
Terrify them, Yahweh; may the nations know that they are mere men. (Selah)
