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.
Yahweh Mungu wangu, kwako napata kimbilio! Uninusuru na hao wote wanikimbizao, na uniokoe.
2 Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
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 is unrighteousness in my hands; )
Yawheh Mungu wangu, Sijawahi kufanya kile maadui zangu wanacho sema nilifanya; sina hatia katika mikono yangu.
4 if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
Sijawahi kumkosea mtu yeyote aliye na amani na mimi, au kumdhuru kipumbavu yeyote aliye kinyume na mimi.
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)
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 your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which you did command.
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 And the congregation of the nations shall compass you: and for this cause do you return on high.
Mataifa yote yamekuzunguka; uwatawale kutoka mbinguni.
8 The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence 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 sinners come to an end; and [then] you shall direct the righteous, O God that search 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 help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
Ngao yangu inatoka kwa Mungu, yule anaye okoa moyo wa mwenye haki.
11 God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu anaye chukizwa na waovu kila siku.
12 If you will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has 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 And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
Ana jiandaa kutumia siraha kupambana naye; anatengeneza mishale yake kuwa ya moto.
14 Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
Fikiria kuhusu huyo ambaye ana ujauzito wa maovu, mwenye mimba ya mipango ya uharibifu, anaye zaa sumu ya uharibifu.
15 He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
Yeye huchimba shimo na kuliacha wazi kisha baadaye hudumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
16 His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
Mipango yake mwenyewe ya uharibifu hugeukia kichwa chake mwenyewe, kwa kuwa vurugu zake mwenyewe humshukia kichwani pake.
17 I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
Kwa haki yako Mungu nitakushukuru; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu aliye juu.
