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:
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 he tear like a lion my soul, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
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 be injustice in my hands;
Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, yoo ani waan kana godhee jiraadhe yoo harka koo keessa yakki jiraate,
4 If I have recompensed him that was at peace with me with evil; If I have taken aught from my assailants without cause:
yoo ani nama nagaadhaan na wajjin jiraatutti hamaa hojjedhee jiraadhe, yookaan yoo ani sababii malee diina koo saamee jiraadhe,
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)
diinni koo ariʼee na haa qabatu; jireenya koo lafatti haa dhidhiitu; ulfina koos awwaara keessa haa buusu.
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.
Yaa Waaqayyo aarii keetiin kaʼi; dheekkamsa diinota kootti kaʼi. Yaa Waaqa koo anaaf dammaqi; murtii qajeelaa labsi.
7 So shall the congregation of nations compass thee about: and for their sakes return thou to the height.
Yaaʼiin namootaa naannoo keetti walitti haa qabamu; atis ol gubbaadhaa isaan bulchi.
8 The Lord will judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [grant] me [recompense].
Waaqayyo sabootaaf murtii haa kennu. Yaa Waaqayyo, akka qajeelummaa kootiitti, akka amanamummaa kootiittis naa murteessi.
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.
Yaa Waaqa qajeelaa, kan yaadaa fi garaa namaa qortu, fincila hamootaa balleessi; qajeeltota immoo jabeessii dhaabi.
10 My protection is by God, who saveth the upright in heath.
Gaachanni koo Waaqa; inni gara toleeyyii ni oolcha.
11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant [with the wicked] every day.
Waaqni abbaa murtii qajeelaa dha; inni Waaqa guyyaa hunda dheekkamsa isaa mulʼisuu dha.
12 If he turn not, He will whet his sword, he bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready.
Yoo namni qalbii jijjiirrachuu baate, inni goraadee isaa ni qarata; iddaa isaas dabsee qopheeffata.
13 Also for him he prepareth the instruments of death; he fashioneth his arrows against the persecutors.
Inni meeshaa nama ajjeesu qopheeffateera; xiyya bobaʼus ni qopheeffata.
14 Behold, he travaileth with wrong doing; but he hath conceived mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
Kunoo, namni hamaan hammina ulfaaʼa; jalʼina garaatti baata; soba dhala.
15 He hath hollowed out a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he hath wrought.
Inni gad fageessee boolla qota; boolla qopheesse sana keessas ni buʼa.
16 His mischief will return upon his own head, and upon his own skull will his violence come down.
Dabni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa; jalʼinni isaas gubbee mataa isaa irra buʼa.
17 I will thank the Lord according to his righteousness; and I will sing praises to the name of the Lord the Most High.
Qajeelummaa isaatiif Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; maqaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis faarfannaadhaan nan jajadha.
