< Zaburi 92 >
1 Ni jambo jema kumshukuru Yahwe na kuliimbia sifa jina lako, Uliye Juu,
A Psalm. — A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, 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 declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 kwa kinubi cha nyuzi kumi na kwa tuni ya kinubi.
On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 Kwa kuwa wewe, Yahwe, matendo yako yamenifurahisha. Nitaimba kwa furaha kwa sababu ya matendo ya mikono yako.
For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5 Ni jinsi gani matendo yako ni makuu, Yahwe! mawazo yako ni ya kina.
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6 Mtu mpumbavu hawezi kuyajua, wala mjinga kuyaelewa haya:
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
7 Wasio haki watakapochipuka kama nyasi, na hata watendao uovu watakapo stawi, bado wataangamizwa kwenye uharibifu wa milele.
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8 Lakini wewe, Yahwe, utatawala milele.
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
9 Hakika, watazame adui zako, Yahwe! Hakika, watazame adui zako. Wataangamia! Wale wote watendao maovu watatawanywa.
For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
10 Wewe umeyainua mapembe yangu kama mapembe ya Nyati wa porini; nimepakwa mafuta safi.
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 Macho yangu yameona kuanguka kwa adui zangu; masikio yangu yamesikia maangamizi ya maadui zangu waovu.
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 Wenye haki watastawi kama mtende; watakua kama mwerezi wa Lebanoni.
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13 Wamepandwa katika nyumba ya Yahwe; wakistawi katika nyua za Mungu wetu.
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14 Wao huzaa matunda hata uzeeni; hukaa safi na wenye afya,
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 kutangaza kuwa Yahwe ni wa haki. Yeye ni mwamba wangu, na hakuna udhalimu ndani yake.
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
