Zaburi 7
1 Yahweh Mungu wangu, kwako napata kimbilio! Uninusuru na hao wote wanikimbizao, na uniokoe.
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2 Vinginevyo, watanipura kama simba, na kunitawanya viapande vipande na asiwepo mtu wa kuweza kunirudisha katika usalama.
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 Yawheh Mungu wangu, Sijawahi kufanya kile maadui zangu wanacho sema nilifanya; sina hatia katika mikono yangu.
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4 Sijawahi kumkosea mtu yeyote aliye na amani na mimi, au kumdhuru kipumbavu yeyote aliye kinyume na mimi.
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5 Ikiwa sisemi ukweli basi umruhusu adui yangu kuyaingilia maisha yangu na kuyaharibu; na umuache aukanyage mwili wangu ulio hai kwenye aridhi na kuuacha umelala kwa aibu mavumbini. (Selah)
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.
6 Inuka, Yahweh, katika hasira yako; simama kinyume na hasira kali ya adui zangu; amka kwa ajili yangu na ubebe amri zako ambazo wewe umeamuru kwa ajili yao.
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7 Mataifa yote yamekuzunguka; uwatawale kutoka mbinguni.
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8 Yahweh, uwahukumu mataifa; uwaonyeshe kuwa sina hatia, Yahweh, kwa sababu mimi ni mwenye haki na sina hatia, Ewe uliye juu.
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9 Matendo ya waovu na yafike mwisho, bali uanzishe watu wenye haki, Mungu mwenye haki, wewe ambaye unapima mioyo na fahamu.
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10 Ngao yangu inatoka kwa Mungu, yule anaye okoa moyo wa mwenye haki.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu anaye chukizwa na waovu kila siku.
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12 Ikiwa kuna mtu hatubu, Mungu atanoa upanga wake na ata andaa upinde wake kwa ajili ya vita.
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13 Ana jiandaa kutumia siraha kupambana naye; anatengeneza mishale yake kuwa ya moto.
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14 Fikiria kuhusu huyo ambaye ana ujauzito wa maovu, mwenye mimba ya mipango ya uharibifu, anaye zaa sumu ya uharibifu.
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15 Yeye huchimba shimo na kuliacha wazi kisha baadaye hudumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16 Mipango yake mwenyewe ya uharibifu hugeukia kichwa chake mwenyewe, kwa kuwa vurugu zake mwenyewe humshukia kichwani pake.
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17 Kwa haki yako Mungu nitakushukuru; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu aliye juu.
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
