Psalms 75

1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; we give thanks, for thy name is near: men tell of thy wondrous works.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Zaburi ya Asafu. Wimbo. Ee Mungu, tunakushukuru, tunakushukuru wewe, kwa kuwa jina lako li karibu; watu husimulia matendo yako ya ajabu.

2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

Unasema, “Ninachagua wakati maalum; ni mimi nihukumuye kwa haki.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

Wakati dunia na watu wake wote inapotetemeka, ni mimi ninayezishikilia nguzo zake imara.

4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

Kwa wale wenye majivuno ninasema, ‘Msijisifu tena,’ kwa wale waovu, ‘Msiinue pembe zenu.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.

Msiinue pembe zenu dhidi ya mbingu; msiseme kwa shingo zilizonyooshwa.’”

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.

Hakuna yeyote atokaye mashariki wala magharibi au kutoka jangwani awezaye kumkweza mwanadamu.

7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

Bali Mungu ndiye ahukumuye: Humshusha huyu na kumkweza mwingine.

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine foameth; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

Mkononi mwa Bwana kuna kikombe kilichojaa mvinyo unaotoka povu uliochanganywa na vikolezo; huumimina, nao waovu wote wa dunia hunywa mpaka tone la mwisho.

9 But I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Bali mimi, nitatangaza hili milele; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu wa Yakobo.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

Nitazikatilia mbali pembe za waovu wote, bali pembe za wenye haki zitainuliwa juu.
