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,
Ode of David: which he sang unto Yahweh, on account of the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge, —Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:
2 nono to gibiro kidha kaka sibuor kidho gik moko. Kendo gibiro yiecha matindo tindo maonge ngʼama diresa e lwetgi.
Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul, —and there be no deliverer to rescue.
3 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha, kapo ni asetimo gima kamano adieri kendo lweta osetimo gima rach,
O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:
4 kaponi asetimo marach ni ngʼama onge koda gi wach kata kapo ni asemayo wasika kaonge gima omiyo,
If I have requited my friend with wrong, —or have oppressed mine adversary without need,
5 to yie ni wasikano mondo olawa mi juka; we ginyon ngimana piny e lowo, mi gimi anind e buru mar lowo. (Sela)
Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life, —and, mine honour—in the dust, he may cause to dwell. (Selah)
6 Aa malo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ka in gi mirima aa malo irad gi gero mar wasika. Chiew, Nyasacha; chiew inyis adierana.
Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:
7 We chokruoge mag ogendini olwori koni gi koni. Ngʼad negi bura gie kom loch mari man malo;
When, the assembly of peoples, gather round thee, then, above it—on high, do thou return!
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.
Yahweh, will judge the peoples, —Do me justice, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity upon 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.
Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, —for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.
10 Okumbana en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, ma reso joma chunygi oriere tir.
My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:
11 Nyasaye en jangʼad bura makare; en e Nyasaye matoyo mirimbe pile ka pile.
A God to vindicate the righteous, —And yet a God to be indignant throughout every day.
12 Ka ok oloko pache to obiro piago liganglane; obiro dolo okumbane mi otwe tondene.
If he turn not, his sword, will he whet, —his bow, hath he bent, and made ready:
13 Oseiko gige mag lweny mager; oiko asernige makakni ka mach.
But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:
14 Ngʼama iye okuot gi gik maricho kendo ma yach gi chandruok nywolo yamo nono.
Lo! he gendereth trouble, and conceiveth mischief, but giveth birth to a disappointment:
15 Ngʼama loso bur kendo kunye maber podho e bure mokunyono.
A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:
16 Chandruok mokelo gaje en owuon; timbene mag mahundu dwogone e wiye owuon.
His mischief, turneth back, on his own head, —and, on his own crown, his violence, descendeth.
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 praise Yahweh according to his righteousness, —and will praise in song the Name of Yahweh Most High.
