Zaburi 7
1 Yahweh Mungu wangu, kwako napata kimbilio! Uninusuru na hao wote wanikimbizao, na uniokoe.
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;
2 Vinginevyo, watanipura kama simba, na kunitawanya viapande vipande na asiwepo mtu wa kuweza kunirudisha katika usalama.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.
3 Yawheh Mungu wangu, Sijawahi kufanya kile maadui zangu wanacho sema nilifanya; sina hatia katika mikono yangu.
Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 Sijawahi kumkosea mtu yeyote aliye na amani na mimi, au kumdhuru kipumbavu yeyote aliye kinyume na mimi.
If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me; )
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)
Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take [it], and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
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, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.
7 Mataifa yote yamekuzunguka; uwatawale kutoka mbinguni.
And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.
8 Yahweh, uwahukumu mataifa; uwaonyeshe kuwa sina hatia, Yahweh, kwa sababu mimi ni mwenye haki na sina hatia, Ewe uliye juu.
Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
9 Matendo ya waovu na yafike mwisho, bali uanzishe watu wenye haki, Mungu mwenye haki, wewe ambaye unapima mioyo na fahamu.
Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.
10 Ngao yangu inatoka kwa Mungu, yule anaye okoa moyo wa mwenye haki.
My shield is with God, who saveth 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 is indignant all the day.
12 Ikiwa kuna mtu hatubu, Mungu atanoa upanga wake na ata andaa upinde wake kwa ajili ya vita.
If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
13 Ana jiandaa kutumia siraha kupambana naye; anatengeneza mishale yake kuwa ya moto.
And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
14 Fikiria kuhusu huyo ambaye ana ujauzito wa maovu, mwenye mimba ya mipango ya uharibifu, anaye zaa sumu ya uharibifu.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:
15 Yeye huchimba shimo na kuliacha wazi kisha baadaye hudumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
16 Mipango yake mwenyewe ya uharibifu hugeukia kichwa chake mwenyewe, kwa kuwa vurugu zake mwenyewe humshukia kichwani pake.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Kwa haki yako Mungu nitakushukuru; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu aliye juu.
I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.
