Psalms 80
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm by Asaph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Yungiyungi za Agano.” Zaburi ya Asafu. Ee Mchungaji wa Israeli tusikie, wewe umwongozaye Yosefu kama kundi; wewe uketiye katika kiti cha enzi katikati ya makerubi, angaza
2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!
mbele ya Efraimu, Benyamini na Manase. Uamshe nguvu zako, uje utuokoe.
3 Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
Ee Mungu, uturejeshe, utuangazie uso wako, ili tuweze kuokolewa.
4 Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
Ee Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote, hata lini hasira yako itawaka na kufoka moshi dhidi ya maombi ya watu wako?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
Umewalisha kwa mkate wa machozi, umewafanya wanywe machozi bakuli tele.
6 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.
Tumekuwa chanzo cha ugomvi kwa jirani zetu, na adui zetu wanatudhihaki.
7 Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
Ee Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote, uturejeshe; utuangazie uso wako, nasi tuweze kuokolewa.
8 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
Ulileta mzabibu kutoka Misri, ukawafukuza mataifa, ukaupanda.
9 You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.
Uliandaa shamba kwa ajili yake, mizizi ikawa imara, ukajaza nchi.
10 The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars.
Milima ilifunikwa kwa kivuli chake, matawi yake yakafunika mierezi mikubwa.
11 It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River.
Matawi yake yalienea mpaka Baharini, machipukizi yake mpaka kwenye Mto.
12 Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
Mbona umebomoa kuta zake ili wote wapitao karibu wazichume zabibu zake?
13 The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
Nguruwe mwitu wanauharibu na wanyama wa kondeni hujilisha humo.
14 Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
Turudie, Ee Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote! Tazama chini kutoka mbinguni na uone! Linda mzabibu huu,
15 the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
mche ulioupanda kwa mkono wako wa kuume, mwana uliyemlea kwa ajili yako mwenyewe.
16 It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
Mzabibu wako umekatwa, umechomwa moto, unapowakemea, watu wako huangamia.
17 Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
Mkono wako na utulie juu ya mtu aliyeko mkono wako wa kuume, mwana wa mtu uliyemlea kwa ajili yako mwenyewe.
18 So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
Ndipo hatutakuacha tena, utuhuishe, nasi tutaliitia jina lako.
19 Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
Ee Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote, uturejeshe; utuangazie uso wako, ili tuweze kuokolewa.
