Zaburi 7
1 Wend shigaion mane Daudi owero ne Jehova Nyasaye kuom Kush ja-Benjamin. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha, in e kar pondona; Resa kendo igola e lwet joma lawa duto,
[A meditation by David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.] Jehovah, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
2 nono to gibiro kidha kaka sibuor kidho gik moko. Kendo gibiro yiecha matindo tindo maonge ngʼama diresa e lwetgi.
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha, kapo ni asetimo gima kamano adieri kendo lweta osetimo gima rach,
Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
4 kaponi asetimo marach ni ngʼama onge koda gi wach kata kapo ni asemayo wasika kaonge gima omiyo,
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, or oppressed my enemy without cause,
5 to yie ni wasikano mondo olawa mi juka; we ginyon ngimana piny e lowo, mi gimi anind e buru mar lowo. (Sela)
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 Aa malo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ka in gi mirima aa malo irad gi gero mar wasika. Chiew, Nyasacha; chiew inyis adierana.
Arise, Jehovah, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake, my God; you have appointed judgment.
7 We chokruoge mag ogendini olwori koni gi koni. Ngʼad negi bura gie kom loch mari man malo;
And let the congregation of the peoples surround you, and rule over them on high.
8 Jehova Nyasaye mondo ongʼad bura ne ogendini. Ngʼadna bura, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kaluwore gi ngimana makare, ngʼadna bura, yaye Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, kaluwore gi ngimana moriere tir.
Jehovah administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
9 Yaye Nyasaye makare, In ema inono pach ji gi chunje ji, tiek timbe mamono mag joma richo mondo imi joma kare odag gi kwe.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. The righteous God tests hearts and minds.
10 Okumbana en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, ma reso joma chunygi oriere tir.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Nyasaye en jangʼad bura makare; en e Nyasaye matoyo mirimbe pile ka pile.
God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
12 Ka ok oloko pache to obiro piago liganglane; obiro dolo okumbane mi otwe tondene.
If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
13 Oseiko gige mag lweny mager; oiko asernige makakni ka mach.
He has also prepared for himself deadly weapons. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
14 Ngʼama iye okuot gi gik maricho kendo ma yach gi chandruok nywolo yamo nono.
Look, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Ngʼama loso bur kendo kunye maber podho e bure mokunyono.
He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
16 Chandruok mokelo gaje en owuon; timbene mag mahundu dwogone e wiye owuon.
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head, and his violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
17 Abiro goyo erokamano ne Jehova Nyasaye nikech en ngʼama kare kendo abiro wero wend pak ne nying Jehova Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo.
I will give thanks to Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
