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 SHIGGAION OF DAVID, THAT HE SUNG TO YHWH CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH, A BENJAMITE. O YHWH, my God, in You I have 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 as a lion, Tearing, and there is no deliverer.
3 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, kama nimetenda haya na kuna hatia mikononi mwangu,
O YHWH, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
4 au ikiwa nimemtenda uovu aliye na amani nami, au nimemnyangʼanya adui yangu pasipo sababu,
If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw my adversary without cause,
5 basi adui anifuatie na kunipata, auponde uhai wangu ardhini na kunilaza mavumbini.
[Then] an enemy pursues my soul, and overtakes, And treads down my life to the earth, And places 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.
Rise, O YHWH, in Your anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of my adversaries, And awake Yourself for me: You have commanded judgment.
7 Kusanyiko la watu na likuzunguke. Watawale kutoka juu.
And a congregation of peoples surround You, And over it turn back 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.
YHWH judges the peoples; Judge me, O YHWH, According to my righteousness, And according to my integrity [that is] on me.
9 Ee Mungu mwenye haki, uchunguzaye mawazo na mioyo, komesha ghasia za waovu na ufanye wenye haki waishi kwa amani.
Please let the evil of the wicked be ended, And establish the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
10 Ngao langu ni Mungu Aliye Juu Sana, awaokoaye wanyofu wa moyo.
My shield [is] on God, Savior of the upright in heart!
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu aghadhibikaye kila siku.
God [is] judging right, And He is not angry at all times.
12 Kama hakutuhurumia, atanoa upanga wake, ataupinda na kuufunga uzi upinde wake.
If [one] does not turn, He sharpens His sword, He has bent His bow [and] He prepares it,
13 Ameandaa silaha zake kali, ameweka tayari mishale yake ya moto.
Indeed, He has prepared for Himself Instruments of death, He makes His arrows for burning pursuers.
14 Yeye aliye na mimba ya uovu na achukuaye mimba ya ghasia huzaa uongo.
Behold, he travails [with] iniquity, And he has conceived perverseness, And has brought forth falsehood.
15 Yeye achimbaye shimo na kulifukua hutumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He has prepared a pit, and he digs it, And he falls into a ditch he makes.
16 Ghasia azianzishazo humrudia mwenyewe, ukatili wake humrudia kichwani.
His perverseness returns on his head, And his violence comes down on his crown.
17 Nitamshukuru Bwana kwa ajili ya haki yake, na nitaliimbia sifa jina la Bwana Aliye Juu Sana.
I thank YHWH, According to His righteousness, And I praise the Name of YHWH Most High!
