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,
O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute 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 rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
5 basi adui anifuatie na kunipata, auponde uhai wangu ardhini na kunilaza mavumbini.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour 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 your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
7 Kusanyiko la watu na likuzunguke. Watawale kutoka juu.
So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you 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.
The LORD shall judge the people: 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 let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.
10 Ngao langu ni Mungu Aliye Juu Sana, awaokoaye wanyofu wa moyo.
My defence is of God, which saves the upright in heart.
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu aghadhibikaye kila siku.
God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 Kama hakutuhurumia, atanoa upanga wake, ataupinda na kuufunga uzi upinde wake.
If he turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Ameandaa silaha zake kali, ameweka tayari mishale yake ya moto.
He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Yeye aliye na mimba ya uovu na achukuaye mimba ya ghasia huzaa uongo.
Behold, he labors with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Yeye achimbaye shimo na kulifukua hutumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He made a pit, and dug 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 violent dealing shall come down upon his own crown of the head.
17 Nitamshukuru Bwana kwa ajili ya haki yake, na nitaliimbia sifa jina la Bwana Aliye Juu Sana.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
