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,
'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee 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 as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.
3 Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, kama nimetenda haya na kuna hatia mikononi mwangu,
O Jehovah, 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 mine adversary without cause,
5 basi adui anifuatie na kunipata, auponde uhai wangu ardhini na kunilaza mavumbini.
An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth 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 Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:
7 Kusanyiko la watu na likuzunguke. Watawale kutoka juu.
And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
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 doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
9 Ee Mungu mwenye haki, uchunguzaye mawazo na mioyo, komesha ghasia za waovu na ufanye wenye haki waishi kwa amani.
Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou 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, Saviour of the upright in heart!
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu aghadhibikaye kila siku.
God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
12 Kama hakutuhurumia, atanoa upanga wake, ataupinda na kuufunga uzi upinde wake.
If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden — He prepareth it,
13 Ameandaa silaha zake kali, ameweka tayari mishale yake ya moto.
Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
14 Yeye aliye na mimba ya uovu na achukuaye mimba ya ghasia huzaa uongo.
Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
15 Yeye achimbaye shimo na kulifukua hutumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
16 Ghasia azianzishazo humrudia mwenyewe, ukatili wake humrudia kichwani.
Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
17 Nitamshukuru Bwana kwa ajili ya haki yake, na nitaliimbia sifa jina la Bwana Aliye Juu Sana.
I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
