Zaburi 83
1 Wimbo. Zaburi ya Asafu. Ee Mungu, usinyamaze kimya, usinyamaze, Ee Mungu, usitulie.
O God, keep thou not silence. Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 Tazama watesi wako wanafanya fujo, jinsi adui zako wanavyoinua vichwa vyao.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult, and those who hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 Kwa hila, wanafanya shauri dhidi ya watu wako, wanafanya shauri baya dhidi ya wale unaowapenda.
They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult together against thy hidden ones.
4 Wanasema, “Njooni, tuwaangamize kama taifa, ili jina la Israeli lisikumbukwe tena.”
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 Kwa nia moja wanapanga mashauri mabaya pamoja, wanafanya muungano dhidi yako,
For they have consulted together with one consent. They make a covenant against thee:
6 mahema ya Edomu na Waishmaeli, ya Wamoabu na Wahagari,
the tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
7 Gebali, Amoni na Amaleki, Ufilisti, pamoja na watu wa Tiro.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre,
8 Hata Ashuru wameungana nao kuwapa nguvu wazao wa Loti.
Assyria also is joined with them; they have helped the sons of Lot. (Selah)
9 Uwatendee kama vile ulivyowatendea Midiani, na kama vile ulivyowatendea Sisera na Yabini hapo kijito cha Kishoni,
Do thou to them as to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon,
10 ambao waliangamia huko Endori na wakawa kama takataka juu ya nchi.
who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
11 Wafanye wakuu wao kama Orebu na Zeebu, watawala wao kama Zeba na Salmuna,
Make their ranking men like Oreb and Zeeb, yea, all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 ambao walisema, “Na tumiliki nchi ya malisho ya Mungu.”
who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.
13 Ee Mungu wangu, wapeperushe kama mavumbi ya kisulisuli, kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust, as stubble before the wind,
14 Kama vile moto uteketezavyo msitu au mwali wa moto unavyounguza milima,
as the fire that burns the forest, and as the flame that sets the mountains on fire.
15 wafuatilie kwa tufani yako na kuwafadhaisha kwa dhoruba yako.
So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy storm.
16 Funika nyuso zao kwa aibu ili watu walitafute jina lako, Ee Bwana.
Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
17 Wao na waaibishwe na kufadhaishwa milele, na waangamie kwa aibu.
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yea, let them be confounded and perish,
18 Hebu wajue kwamba wewe, ambaye jina lako ni Bwana, kwamba wewe peke yako ndiwe Uliye Juu Sana ya dunia yote.
that they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth.
