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 unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
2 la sivyo watanirarua kama simba na kunichana vipande vipande, asiwepo wa kuniokoa.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, kama nimetenda haya na kuna hatia mikononi mwangu,
O LORD 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 requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
5 basi adui anifuatie na kunipata, auponde uhai wangu ardhini na kunilaza mavumbini.
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him 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, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
7 Kusanyiko la watu na likuzunguke. Watawale kutoka juu.
And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them 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.
O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Ee Mungu mwenye haki, uchunguzaye mawazo na mioyo, komesha ghasia za waovu na ufanye wenye haki waishi kwa amani.
Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
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, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
12 Kama hakutuhurumia, atanoa upanga wake, ataupinda na kuufunga uzi upinde wake.
If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
13 Ameandaa silaha zake kali, ameweka tayari mishale yake ya moto.
He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
14 Yeye aliye na mimba ya uovu na achukuaye mimba ya ghasia huzaa uongo.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
15 Yeye achimbaye shimo na kulifukua hutumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which 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 give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
