Psalms 5

1 For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.

1 Ee Bwana, tegea sikio maneno yangu, uangalie kupiga kite kwangu.

2 Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

2 Sikiliza kilio changu ili unisaidie, Mfalme wangu na Mungu wangu, kwa maana kwako ninaomba.

3 In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

3 Asubuhi, unasikia sauti yangu, Ee Bwana; asubuhi naleta haja zangu mbele zako, na kusubiri kwa matumaini.

4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.

4 Wewe si Mungu unayefurahia uovu, kwako mtu mwovu hataishi.

5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.

5 Wenye kiburi hawawezi kusimama mbele yako, unawachukia wote watendao mabaya.

6 You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

6 Unawaangamiza wasemao uongo. Bwana huwachukia wamwagao damu na wadanganyifu.

7 But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.

7 Lakini mimi, kwa rehema zako kuu, nitakuja katika nyumba yako, kwa unyenyekevu, nitasujudu kuelekea Hekalu lako takatifu.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

8 Niongoze katika haki yako, Ee Bwana, kwa sababu ya adui zangu, nyoosha njia yako mbele yangu.

9 For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

9 Hakuna neno kinywani mwao linaloweza kuaminika, mioyo yao imejaa maangamizi. Koo lao ni kaburi lililo wazi, kwa ndimi zao, wao hunena udanganyifu.

10 Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

10 Uwatangaze kuwa wenye hatia, Ee Mungu! Hila zao ziwe anguko lao wenyewe. Wafukuzie mbali kwa sababu ya dhambi zao nyingi, kwa kuwa wamekuasi wewe.

11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

11 Lakini wote wakimbiliao kwako na wafurahi, waimbe kwa shangwe daima. Ueneze ulinzi wako juu yao, ili wale wapendao jina lako wapate kukushangilia.

12 For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.

12 Kwa hakika, Ee Bwana, unawabariki wenye haki, unawazunguka kwa wema wako kama ngao.
