Psalmi 7
1 Dāvida dziesma, ko viņš Tam Kungam dziedāja, par Benjaminieti Kušu. Kungs, mans Dievs, uz Tevi es paļaujos, atpestī mani no visiem maniem vajātājiem un izglābi mani,
Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
2 Ka tas manu dvēseli nelaupa kā lauva, to saplosīdams, tādēļ ka glābēja nav.
If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
3 Kungs, mans Dievs, ja to esmu darījis, ja netaisnība ir manās rokās,
Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
4 Ja esmu ļaunu maksājis tam, kas mierīgi ar mani dzīvoja, vai aplaupījis to, kas mani bez vainas apbēdināja,
if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
5 Tad lai ienaidnieks manu dvēseli vajā un panāk, lai samin manu dzīvību pie zemes un noliek manu godu pīšļos. (Sela)
allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
6 Celies, ak Kungs, Savā dusmībā, stājies pretī manu spaidītāju bardzībai, uzmosties manis labad; Tu tiesu turēsi.
But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
7 Tautu pulks lai metās ap Tevi, bet Tu pār to atkal pacelies augstībā.
Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
8 Tas Kungs nesīs tiesu tām tautām; tiesā mani, Kungs, pēc manas taisnības un manas bezvainības.
Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
9 Lai jel beidzās bezdievīgo niknums, bet stiprini to taisno, jo Tu pārbaudi sirdis un īkstis, ak taisnais Dievs!
God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
10 Manas priekšturamās bruņas ir Dieva rokā, Viņš palīdz tiem sirds taisniem.
God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
11 Dievs ir taisns soģis un tāds Dievs, kas ikdienas biedina.
You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
12 Ja kas negrib atgriezties, tad viņš savu zobenu trinis, savu stopu uzvilcis un sataisījis,
Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
13 Un priekš tā nāvīgus ieročus salicis, savas bultas darījis degošas.
You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
14 Redzi, kāds ieņem netaisnību un nesās ar nelaimi, bet dzemdē nieku.
Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
15 Tas bedri racis un izmetis, bet iekritis tai bedrē, ko taisījis.
But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
16 Viņa ļaunums atgriezīsies uz viņa galvu, un viņa varas darbs nometīsies uz viņa galvas virsu.
They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
17 Es slavēšu To Kungu Viņa taisnības dēļ, un dziedāšu Tā Kunga, tā Visaugstākā, Vārdam.
I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
