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,
“A Shiggayon of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the affairs of Cush the Benjamite.” O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust; save me from every one of my persecutors, and deliver me:
2 la sivyo watanirarua kama simba na kunichana vipande vipande, asiwepo wa kuniokoa.
Lest he tear like a lion my soul, rending it in pieces, with 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 injustice in my hands;
4 au ikiwa nimemtenda uovu aliye na amani nami, au nimemnyangʼanya adui yangu pasipo sababu,
If I have recompensed him that was at peace with me with evil; If I have taken aught from my assailants without cause:
5 basi adui anifuatie na kunipata, auponde uhai wangu ardhini na kunilaza mavumbini.
May the enemy hotly pursue my soul, and overtake it; and tread down upon the earth my life, and cause my honor to be 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 thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 Kusanyiko la watu na likuzunguke. Watawale kutoka juu.
So shall the congregation of nations compass thee about: and for their sakes return thou to the height.
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 will judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [grant] me [recompense].
9 Ee Mungu mwenye haki, uchunguzaye mawazo na mioyo, komesha ghasia za waovu na ufanye wenye haki waishi kwa amani.
Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just, O thou, who triest the hearts and reins, O righteous God.
10 Ngao langu ni Mungu Aliye Juu Sana, awaokoaye wanyofu wa moyo.
My protection is by God, who saveth the upright in heath.
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu aghadhibikaye kila siku.
God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant [with the wicked] every day.
12 Kama hakutuhurumia, atanoa upanga wake, ataupinda na kuufunga uzi upinde wake.
If he turn not, He will whet his sword, he bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready.
13 Ameandaa silaha zake kali, ameweka tayari mishale yake ya moto.
Also for him he prepareth the instruments of death; he fashioneth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Yeye aliye na mimba ya uovu na achukuaye mimba ya ghasia huzaa uongo.
Behold, he travaileth with wrong doing; but he hath conceived mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
15 Yeye achimbaye shimo na kulifukua hutumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He hath hollowed out a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he hath wrought.
16 Ghasia azianzishazo humrudia mwenyewe, ukatili wake humrudia kichwani.
His mischief will return upon his own head, and upon his own skull will his violence come down.
17 Nitamshukuru Bwana kwa ajili ya haki yake, na nitaliimbia sifa jina la Bwana Aliye Juu Sana.
I will thank the Lord according to his righteousness; and I will sing praises to the name of the Lord the Most High.
