Psalm 7
1 [Psalm lal David, su el Onkakin nu sin LEUM GOD, ke sripal Cush, sie Mwet Benjamin] O LEUM GOD, God luk, nga tuku nu yurum tuh kom in karinginyu; Langoeyula ac moliyula lukelos nukewa su ukweyu.
Adonai, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
2 Kom fin tia, elos ac tulakinyula ac sreyuwi Oana soko lion sulallal, Yen wangin mwet ac fah ku in moliyula.
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
3 O LEUM GOD luk, fin pwaye lah nga oru kutena sin ma inge: Pouk fin oru ma tafongla,
Adonai, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
4 Ku nga fin orala ma koluk nu sin mwet kawuk luk, Ku kunausla mwet lokoalok luk ke wangin sripa,
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, if I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),
5 Na lela mwet lokoalok luk in ukweyu ac sruokyuwi. Lela elos in sisyuwi nu infohk uh ac uniyuwi, Ac filiyuwi ngan oan misa infohk uh.
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) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
6 O LEUM GOD, tuyak ke kasrkusrak lom, Ac lain folo lun mwet lokoalok luk! Mukuiyak ac kasreyu! Kom lungsum nununku suwohs,
Arise, Adonai, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have enjoined judgment.
7 Ke ma inge, orani mwet nukewa nu yurum, Tuh kom in nununkalos lucng me.
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.
8 Kom pa nununku mwet nukewa. O LEUM GOD, wiyu lac ke kom nununkeyu, Mweyen kom etu lah wangin mwetik.
Adonai administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Adonai, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
9 Kom sie God suwoswos Ac kom nununku nunak lasr ac ma lungse lasr. Kutongya orekma lun mwet koluk Ac sang ma lacne nu sin mwet wo.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the upright; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
10 God El mwe loeyuk luk. El molelos su aksol.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 God El oru nununku suwoswos Ac El kwase mwet koluk.
God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
12 Elos fin tia auliyak, Na God El ac fah tamla cutlass natul, Ac akoela mwe pisr natul.
If a man does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
13 El srukak mwe mweun natul Ac ngasla mwe pisr firir natul.
He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
14 Liye ke mwet koluk elos lungse sramtauk pwapa koluk; Elos purakak lokoalok ac kiapu mwet.
Behold, he travails with vain striving of iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.
15 Tusruktu mwe kwasrip elos akoo nu sin mwet saya, Elos sifacna sremla kac.
He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
16 Ke ma inge elos akkeokyeyuk ke ma koluk lalos sifacna, Ac akngalyeyuk ke sulallal lalos.
The trouble he causes shall teshuvah ·completely return· to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
17 Nga sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD ke nununku suwohs lal; Nga on ac kaksakin LEUM GOD Fulatlana.
I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai according to his righteousness, and will make zahmar ·musical praise· to the name of Adonai Most High.
