Psalms 7
1 A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in you have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
Shiigaayoonni Daawit kan inni waaʼee Kuushi namicha gosa Beniyaamiif jedhee Waaqayyoof faarfate. Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ani kooluu sitti nan gala; warra na ariʼatan hunda jalaa na baasi; na oolchis;
2 Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
yoo kanaa achii isaan yeroo namni na oolchu hin jirretti, akka leencaa na cicciratu; na kukkutatus.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands; )
Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, yoo ani waan kana godhee jiraadhe yoo harka koo keessa yakki jiraate,
4 if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
yoo ani nama nagaadhaan na wajjin jiraatutti hamaa hojjedhee jiraadhe, yookaan yoo ani sababii malee diina koo saamee jiraadhe,
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. (Pause)
diinni koo ariʼee na haa qabatu; jireenya koo lafatti haa dhidhiitu; ulfina koos awwaara keessa haa buusu.
6 Arise, O Lord, in your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which you did command.
Yaa Waaqayyo aarii keetiin kaʼi; dheekkamsa diinota kootti kaʼi. Yaa Waaqa koo anaaf dammaqi; murtii qajeelaa labsi.
7 And the congregation of the nations shall compass you: and for this cause do you return on high.
Yaaʼiin namootaa naannoo keetti walitti haa qabamu; atis ol gubbaadhaa isaan bulchi.
8 The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
Waaqayyo sabootaaf murtii haa kennu. Yaa Waaqayyo, akka qajeelummaa kootiitti, akka amanamummaa kootiittis naa murteessi.
9 Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] you shall direct the righteous, O God that search the hearts and reins.
Yaa Waaqa qajeelaa, kan yaadaa fi garaa namaa qortu, fincila hamootaa balleessi; qajeeltota immoo jabeessii dhaabi.
10 My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
Gaachanni koo Waaqa; inni gara toleeyyii ni oolcha.
11 God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
Waaqni abbaa murtii qajeelaa dha; inni Waaqa guyyaa hunda dheekkamsa isaa mulʼisuu dha.
12 If you will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
Yoo namni qalbii jijjiirrachuu baate, inni goraadee isaa ni qarata; iddaa isaas dabsee qopheeffata.
13 And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
Inni meeshaa nama ajjeesu qopheeffateera; xiyya bobaʼus ni qopheeffata.
14 Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
Kunoo, namni hamaan hammina ulfaaʼa; jalʼina garaatti baata; soba dhala.
15 He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
Inni gad fageessee boolla qota; boolla qopheesse sana keessas ni buʼa.
16 His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
Dabni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa; jalʼinni isaas gubbee mataa isaa irra buʼa.
17 I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
Qajeelummaa isaatiif Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; maqaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis faarfannaadhaan nan jajadha.
