Zaburi 7
1 Yahweh Mungu wangu, kwako napata kimbilio! Uninusuru na hao wote wanikimbizao, na uniokoe.
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute 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 is 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; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy: )
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 persecute my soul, and take [it]; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor 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 thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
7 Mataifa yote yamekuzunguka; uwatawale kutoka mbinguni.
So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore 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.
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my 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 let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 Ngao yangu inatoka kwa Mungu, yule anaye okoa moyo wa mwenye haki.
My defense [is] from God, who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Mungu ni mwamuzi mwenye haki, Mungu anaye chukizwa na waovu kila siku.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
12 Ikiwa kuna mtu hatubu, Mungu atanoa upanga wake na ata andaa upinde wake kwa ajili ya vita.
If he 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 instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
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, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Yeye huchimba shimo na kuliacha wazi kisha baadaye hudumbukia katika shimo alilochimba mwenyewe.
He made a pit, and digged it, and hath 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 violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Kwa haki yako Mungu nitakushukuru; nitaimba sifa kwa Mungu aliye juu.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
