Psalms 7
1 A meditation by David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite. LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue 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 they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
yoo kanaa achii isaan yeroo namni na oolchu hin jirretti, akka leencaa na cicciratu; na kukkutatus.
3 LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, yoo ani waan kana godhee jiraadhe yoo harka koo keessa yakki jiraate,
4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),
yoo ani nama nagaadhaan na wajjin jiraatutti hamaa hojjedhee jiraadhe, yookaan yoo ani sababii malee diina koo saamee jiraadhe,
5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
diinni koo ariʼee na haa qabatu; jireenya koo lafatti haa dhidhiitu; ulfina koos awwaara keessa haa buusu.
6 Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
Yaa Waaqayyo aarii keetiin kaʼi; dheekkamsa diinota kootti kaʼi. Yaa Waaqa koo anaaf dammaqi; murtii qajeelaa labsi.
7 Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.
Yaaʼiin namootaa naannoo keetti walitti haa qabamu; atis ol gubbaadhaa isaan bulchi.
8 The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity 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 the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
Yaa Waaqa qajeelaa, kan yaadaa fi garaa namaa qortu, fincila hamootaa balleessi; qajeeltota immoo jabeessii dhaabi.
10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
Gaachanni koo Waaqa; inni gara toleeyyii ni oolcha.
11 God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
Waaqni abbaa murtii qajeelaa dha; inni Waaqa guyyaa hunda dheekkamsa isaa mulʼisuu dha.
12 If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
Yoo namni qalbii jijjiirrachuu baate, inni goraadee isaa ni qarata; iddaa isaas dabsee qopheeffata.
13 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
Inni meeshaa nama ajjeesu qopheeffateera; xiyya bobaʼus ni qopheeffata.
14 Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.
Kunoo, namni hamaan hammina ulfaaʼa; jalʼina garaatti baata; soba dhala.
15 He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
Inni gad fageessee boolla qota; boolla qopheesse sana keessas ni buʼa.
16 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
Dabni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa; jalʼinni isaas gubbee mataa isaa irra buʼa.
17 I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
Qajeelummaa isaatiif Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; maqaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis faarfannaadhaan nan jajadha.
