< Zaburi 92 >
1 Ni jambo jema kumshukuru Yahwe na kuliimbia sifa jina lako, Uliye Juu,
“A psalm for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!
2 kutangaza uaminifu wa agano lako wakati wa asubuhi na uaminifu wako kila usiku,
To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3 kwa kinubi cha nyuzi kumi na kwa tuni ya kinubi.
Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 Kwa kuwa wewe, Yahwe, matendo yako yamenifurahisha. Nitaimba kwa furaha kwa sababu ya matendo ya mikono yako.
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!
5 Ni jinsi gani matendo yako ni makuu, Yahwe! mawazo yako ni ya kina.
How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!
6 Mtu mpumbavu hawezi kuyajua, wala mjinga kuyaelewa haya:
But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.
7 Wasio haki watakapochipuka kama nyasi, na hata watendao uovu watakapo stawi, bado wataangamizwa kwenye uharibifu wa milele.
When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!
8 Lakini wewe, Yahwe, utatawala milele.
Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!
9 Hakika, watazame adui zako, Yahwe! Hakika, watazame adui zako. Wataangamia! Wale wote watendao maovu watatawanywa.
For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!
10 Wewe umeyainua mapembe yangu kama mapembe ya Nyati wa porini; nimepakwa mafuta safi.
But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 Macho yangu yameona kuanguka kwa adui zangu; masikio yangu yamesikia maangamizi ya maadui zangu waovu.
Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.
12 Wenye haki watastawi kama mtende; watakua kama mwerezi wa Lebanoni.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;
13 Wamepandwa katika nyumba ya Yahwe; wakistawi katika nyua za Mungu wetu.
Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Wao huzaa matunda hata uzeeni; hukaa safi na wenye afya,
Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;
15 kutangaza kuwa Yahwe ni wa haki. Yeye ni mwamba wangu, na hakuna udhalimu ndani yake.
To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
