Psalms 7
1 Shigaion of Dauid, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the wordes of Chush the sonne of Iemini. O Lord my God, in thee I put my trust: saue me from all that persecute me, and deliuer me,
Yahweh Mungu wangu, kwako napata kimbilio! Uninusuru na hao wote wanikimbizao, na uniokoe.
2 Least he deuoure my soule like a lion, and teare it in pieces, while there is none to helpe.
Vinginevyo, watanipura kama simba, na kunitawanya viapande vipande na asiwepo mtu wa kuweza kunirudisha katika usalama.
3 O Lord my God, if I haue done this thing, if there be any wickednes in mine handes,
Yawheh Mungu wangu, Sijawahi kufanya kile maadui zangu wanacho sema nilifanya; sina hatia katika mikono yangu.
4 If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that had peace with mee, (yea I haue deliuered him that vexed me without cause)
Sijawahi kumkosea mtu yeyote aliye na amani na mimi, au kumdhuru kipumbavu yeyote aliye kinyume na mimi.
5 Then let the enemie persecute my soule and take it: yea, let him treade my life downe vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
Ikiwa sisemi ukweli basi umruhusu adui yangu kuyaingilia maisha yangu na kuyaharibu; na umuache aukanyage mwili wangu ulio hai kwenye aridhi na kuuacha umelala kwa aibu mavumbini. (Selah)
6 Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy selfe against the rage of mine enemies, and awake for mee according to the iudgement that thou hast appointed.
Inuka, Yahweh, katika hasira yako; simama kinyume na hasira kali ya adui zangu; amka kwa ajili yangu na ubebe amri zako ambazo wewe umeamuru kwa ajili yao.
7 So shall the Congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne on hie.
Mataifa yote yamekuzunguka; uwatawale kutoka mbinguni.
8 The Lord shall iudge the people: Iudge thou me, O Lord, according to my righteousnesse, and according to mine innocencie, that is in mee.
Yahweh, uwahukumu mataifa; uwaonyeshe kuwa sina hatia, Yahweh, kwa sababu mimi ni mwenye haki na sina hatia, Ewe uliye juu.
9 Oh let the malice of the wicked come to an ende: but guide thou the iust: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reines.
Matendo ya waovu na yafike mwisho, bali uanzishe watu wenye haki, Mungu mwenye haki, wewe ambaye unapima mioyo na fahamu.
10 My defence is in God, who preserueth the vpright in heart.
Ngao yangu inatoka kwa Mungu, yule anaye okoa moyo wa mwenye haki.
11 God iudgeth the righteous, and him that contemneth God euery day.
Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu anaye chukizwa na waovu kila siku.
12 Except he turne, he hath whet his sword: he hath bent his bowe and made it readie.
Ikiwa kuna mtu hatubu, Mungu atanoa upanga wake na ata andaa upinde wake kwa ajili ya vita.
13 Hee hath also prepared him deadly weapons: hee will ordeine his arrowes for them that persecute me.
Ana jiandaa kutumia siraha kupambana naye; anatengeneza mishale yake kuwa ya moto.
14 Beholde, hee shall trauaile with wickednes: for he hath conceiued mischiefe, but he shall bring foorth a lye.
Fikiria kuhusu huyo ambaye ana ujauzito wa maovu, mwenye mimba ya mipango ya uharibifu, anaye zaa sumu ya uharibifu.
15 Hee hath made a pitte and digged it, and is fallen into the pit that he made.
Yeye huchimba shimo na kuliacha wazi kisha baadaye hudumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
16 His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, and his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne pate.
Mipango yake mwenyewe ya uharibifu hugeukia kichwa chake mwenyewe, kwa kuwa vurugu zake mwenyewe humshukia kichwani pake.
17 I wil praise the Lord according to his righteousnes, and will sing praise to the Name of the Lord most high.
Kwa haki yako Mungu nitakushukuru; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu aliye juu.
