Psalms 9
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa muth-labeni. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, nitakutukuza kwa moyo wangu wote, nitayasimulia matendo yako yote ya ajabu.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Nitafurahi na kushangilia ndani yako. Nitaliimbia sifa jina lako, Ewe Uliye Juu Sana.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
Adui zangu wamerudi nyuma, wamejikwaa na kuangamia mbele zako.
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
Kwa maana umetetea haki yangu na msimamo wangu; umeketi kwenye kiti chako cha enzi, ukihukumu kwa haki.
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Umekemea mataifa na kuwaangamiza waovu; umeyafuta majina yao milele na milele.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
Uharibifu usiokoma umempata adui, umeingʼoa miji yao; hata kumbukumbu lao limetoweka.
7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
Bwana anatawala milele, ameweka kiti chake cha enzi apate kuhukumu.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
Mungu atahukumu ulimwengu kwa haki, atatawala mataifa kwa haki.
9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
Bwana ni kimbilio la watu wanaoonewa, ni ngome imara wakati wa shida.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Wote wanaolijua jina lako watakutumaini wewe, kwa maana wewe Bwana, hujawaacha kamwe wakutafutao.
11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
Mwimbieni Bwana sifa, amefanywa mtawala Sayuni, tangazeni miongoni mwa mataifa, yale aliyoyatenda.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
Kwa maana yeye alipizaye kisasi cha damu hukumbuka, hapuuzi kilio cha wanaoonewa.
13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
Ee Bwana, tazama jinsi walivyo wengi adui zangu wanaonitesa! Nihurumie, uniinue kutoka malango ya mauti,
14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
ili niweze kutangaza sifa zako katika malango ya Binti Sayuni na huko niushangilie wokovu wako.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
Mataifa wameanguka kwenye shimo walilolichimba, miguu yao imenaswa kwenye wavu waliouficha.
16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Meditation, Selah)
Bwana anajulikana kwa haki yake, waovu wamenaswa katika kazi za mikono yao.
Waovu wataishia kuzimu, naam, mataifa yote wanaomsahau Mungu. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
Lakini mhitaji hatasahaulika siku zote, wala matumaini ya walioonewa hayatapotea.
19 Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
Ee Bwana, inuka, usimwache binadamu ashinde. Mataifa na yahukumiwe mbele zako.
20 Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah)
Ee Bwana, wapige kwa hofu, mataifa na yajue kuwa wao ni watu tu.
