Zaburi 7
1 Yahweh Mungu wangu, kwako napata kimbilio! Uninusuru na hao wote wanikimbizao, na uniokoe.
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, 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, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
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 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 requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
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 my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him 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, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
7 Mataifa yote yamekuzunguka; uwatawale kutoka mbinguni.
And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them 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.
O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that 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 that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
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, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
12 Ikiwa kuna mtu hatubu, Mungu atanoa upanga wake na ata andaa upinde wake kwa ajili ya vita.
If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
13 Ana jiandaa kutumia siraha kupambana naye; anatengeneza mishale yake kuwa ya moto.
He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
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 conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
15 Yeye huchimba shimo na kuliacha wazi kisha baadaye hudumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which 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 give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
