< Psalms 7 >
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
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,
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
nono to gibiro kidha kaka sibuor kidho gik moko. Kendo gibiro yiecha matindo tindo maonge ngʼama diresa e lwetgi.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha, kapo ni asetimo gima kamano adieri kendo lweta osetimo gima rach,
4 If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
kaponi asetimo marach ni ngʼama onge koda gi wach kata kapo ni asemayo wasika kaonge gima omiyo,
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
to yie ni wasikano mondo olawa mi juka; we ginyon ngimana piny e lowo, mi gimi anind e buru mar lowo. (Sela)
6 Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
Aa malo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ka in gi mirima aa malo irad gi gero mar wasika. Chiew, Nyasacha; chiew inyis adierana.
7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.
We chokruoge mag ogendini olwori koni gi koni. Ngʼad negi bura gie kom loch mari man malo;
8 O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
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.
9 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
Yaye Nyasaye makare, In ema inono pach ji gi chunje ji, tiek timbe mamono mag joma richo mondo imi joma kare odag gi kwe.
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
Okumbana en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, ma reso joma chunygi oriere tir.
11 God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
Nyasaye en jangʼad bura makare; en e Nyasaye matoyo mirimbe pile ka pile.
12 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
Ka ok oloko pache to obiro piago liganglane; obiro dolo okumbane mi otwe tondene.
13 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
Oseiko gige mag lweny mager; oiko asernige makakni ka mach.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
Ngʼama iye okuot gi gik maricho kendo ma yach gi chandruok nywolo yamo nono.
15 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Ngʼama loso bur kendo kunye maber podho e bure mokunyono.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
Chandruok mokelo gaje en owuon; timbene mag mahundu dwogone e wiye owuon.
17 I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
Abiro goyo erokamano ne Jehova Nyasaye nikech en ngʼama kare kendo abiro wero wend pak ne nying Jehova Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo.
