Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
Yahweh Mungu wangu, kwako napata kimbilio! Uninusuru na hao wote wanikimbizao, na uniokoe.
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
Vinginevyo, watanipura kama simba, na kunitawanya viapande vipande na asiwepo mtu wa kuweza kunirudisha katika usalama.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
Yawheh Mungu wangu, Sijawahi kufanya kile maadui zangu wanacho sema nilifanya; sina hatia katika mikono yangu.
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
Sijawahi kumkosea mtu yeyote aliye na amani na mimi, au kumdhuru kipumbavu yeyote aliye kinyume na mimi.
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it; ] yea, let him tread down my life upon 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 thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
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 compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
Mataifa yote yamekuzunguka; uwatawale kutoka mbinguni.
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.
Yahweh, uwahukumu mataifa; uwaonyeshe kuwa sina hatia, Yahweh, kwa sababu mimi ni mwenye haki na sina hatia, Ewe uliye juu.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
Matendo ya waovu na yafike mwisho, bali uanzishe watu wenye haki, Mungu mwenye haki, wewe ambaye unapima mioyo na fahamu.
10 My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
Ngao yangu inatoka kwa Mungu, yule anaye okoa moyo wa mwenye haki.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu anaye chukizwa na waovu kila siku.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
Ikiwa kuna mtu hatubu, Mungu atanoa upanga wake na ata andaa upinde wake kwa ajili ya vita.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
Ana jiandaa kutumia siraha kupambana naye; anatengeneza mishale yake kuwa ya moto.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Fikiria kuhusu huyo ambaye ana ujauzito wa maovu, mwenye mimba ya mipango ya uharibifu, anaye zaa sumu ya uharibifu.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made.
Yeye huchimba shimo na kuliacha wazi kisha baadaye hudumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
Mipango yake mwenyewe ya uharibifu hugeukia kichwa chake mwenyewe, kwa kuwa vurugu zake mwenyewe humshukia kichwani pake.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Kwa haki yako Mungu nitakushukuru; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu aliye juu.
