< Psalms 7 >

1 “A Shiggayon of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the affairs of Cush the Benjamite.” O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust; save me from every one of my persecutors, 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 like a lion my soul, rending it in pieces, with 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 injustice in my hands;
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha, kapo ni asetimo gima kamano adieri kendo lweta osetimo gima rach,
4 If I have recompensed him that was at peace with me with evil; If I have taken aught from my assailants without cause:
kaponi asetimo marach ni ngʼama onge koda gi wach kata kapo ni asemayo wasika kaonge gima omiyo,
5 May the enemy hotly pursue my soul, and overtake it; and tread down upon the earth my life, and cause my honor to be 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 thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment that 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 So shall the congregation of nations compass thee about: and for their sakes return thou to the height.
We chokruoge mag ogendini olwori koni gi koni. Ngʼad negi bura gie kom loch mari man malo;
8 The Lord will judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [grant] me [recompense].
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 let the evil of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just, O thou, who triest the hearts and reins, O righteous God.
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 protection is by God, who saveth the upright in heath.
Okumbana en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, ma reso joma chunygi oriere tir.
11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant [with the wicked] every day.
Nyasaye en jangʼad bura makare; en e Nyasaye matoyo mirimbe pile ka pile.
12 If he turn not, He will whet his sword, he bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready.
Ka ok oloko pache to obiro piago liganglane; obiro dolo okumbane mi otwe tondene.
13 Also for him he prepareth the instruments of death; he fashioneth his arrows against the persecutors.
Oseiko gige mag lweny mager; oiko asernige makakni ka mach.
14 Behold, he travaileth with wrong doing; but he hath conceived mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
Ngʼama iye okuot gi gik maricho kendo ma yach gi chandruok nywolo yamo nono.
15 He hath hollowed out a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he hath wrought.
Ngʼama loso bur kendo kunye maber podho e bure mokunyono.
16 His mischief will return upon his own head, and upon his own skull will his violence come down.
Chandruok mokelo gaje en owuon; timbene mag mahundu dwogone e wiye owuon.
17 I will thank the Lord according to his righteousness; and I will sing praises to the name of the Lord the Most High.
Abiro goyo erokamano ne Jehova Nyasaye nikech en ngʼama kare kendo abiro wero wend pak ne nying Jehova Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo.
