Zaburi 7
1 Ombolezo la Daudi kwa Bwana kwa sababu ya Kushi, Mbenyamini. Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, ninakukimbilia wewe, uniokoe na kunikomboa na wote wanaonifuatia,
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;
2 la sivyo watanirarua kama simba na kunichana vipande vipande, asiwepo wa kuniokoa.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.
3 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, kama nimetenda haya na kuna hatia mikononi mwangu,
Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 au ikiwa nimemtenda uovu aliye na amani nami, au nimemnyangʼanya adui yangu pasipo sababu,
If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me; )
5 basi adui anifuatie na kunipata, auponde uhai wangu ardhini na kunilaza mavumbini.
Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take [it], and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 Amka kwa hasira yako, Ee Bwana, inuka dhidi ya ghadhabu ya adui zangu. Amka, Mungu wangu, uamue haki.
Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.
7 Kusanyiko la watu na likuzunguke. Watawale kutoka juu.
And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.
8 Bwana na awahukumu kabila za watu. Nihukumu Ee Bwana, kwa kadiri ya haki yangu, kwa kadiri ya uadilifu wangu, Ewe Uliye Juu Sana.
Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
9 Ee Mungu mwenye haki, uchunguzaye mawazo na mioyo, komesha ghasia za waovu na ufanye wenye haki waishi kwa amani.
Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.
10 Ngao langu ni Mungu Aliye Juu Sana, awaokoaye wanyofu wa moyo.
My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu aghadhibikaye kila siku.
God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.
12 Kama hakutuhurumia, atanoa upanga wake, ataupinda na kuufunga uzi upinde wake.
If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
13 Ameandaa silaha zake kali, ameweka tayari mishale yake ya moto.
And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
14 Yeye aliye na mimba ya uovu na achukuaye mimba ya ghasia huzaa uongo.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:
15 Yeye achimbaye shimo na kulifukua hutumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
16 Ghasia azianzishazo humrudia mwenyewe, ukatili wake humrudia kichwani.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Nitamshukuru Bwana kwa ajili ya haki yake, na nitaliimbia sifa jina la Bwana Aliye Juu Sana.
I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.
