Psalms 64

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

1 Ee Mungu, unisikie ninapoeleza lalamiko langu, uyahifadhi maisha yangu kutokana na vitisho vya adui.

2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

2 Unifiche kutokana na shauri la siri la waovu, kutokana na zile kelele za kundi la watenda mabaya.

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,

3 Wananoa ndimi zao kama panga na kuelekeza maneno yao kama mishale ya kufisha.

4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

4 Hurusha mishale kutoka kwenye mavizio kwa mtu asiye na hatia, humrushia ghafula bila woga.

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

5 Kila mmoja humtia moyo mwenzake katika mipango mibaya; huzungumza juu ya kuficha mitego yao, nao husema, “Ni nani ataiona?”

6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

6 Hufanya shauri baya la dhuluma na kusema, “Tumebuni mpango mkamilifu!” Hakika nia na moyo wa mwanadamu vina hila.

7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

7 Bali Mungu atawapiga kwa mishale, nao ghafula wataangushwa.

8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

8 Atageuza ndimi zao wenyewe dhidi yao na kuwaleta kwenye maangamizi; wote wawaonao watatikisa vichwa vyao kwa dharau.

9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

9 Wanadamu wote wataogopa, watatangaza kazi za Mungu na kutafakari yale aliyoyatenda.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.

10 Wenye haki na wafurahi katika Bwana, na wakimbilie kwake; wanyofu wote wa moyo na wamsifu yeye!
