Zaburi 83
1 Wimbo. Zaburi ya Asafu. Ee Mungu, usinyamaze kimya, usinyamaze, Ee Mungu, usitulie.
A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. O God, who will ever be like you? Do not be silent, and do not be unmoved, O God.
2 Tazama watesi wako wanafanya fujo, jinsi adui zako wanavyoinua vichwa vyao.
For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head.
3 Kwa hila, wanafanya shauri dhidi ya watu wako, wanafanya shauri baya dhidi ya wale unaowapenda.
They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones.
4 Wanasema, “Njooni, tuwaangamize kama taifa, ili jina la Israeli lisikumbukwe tena.”
They have said, “Come, let us scatter them from the nations and not allow the name of Israel to be remembered any longer.”
5 Kwa nia moja wanapanga mashauri mabaya pamoja, wanafanya muungano dhidi yako,
For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant:
6 mahema ya Edomu na Waishmaeli, ya Wamoabu na Wahagari,
the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites,
7 Gebali, Amoni na Amaleki, Ufilisti, pamoja na watu wa Tiro.
and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Hata Ashuru wameungana nao kuwapa nguvu wazao wa Loti.
For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot.
9 Uwatendee kama vile ulivyowatendea Midiani, na kama vile ulivyowatendea Sisera na Yabini hapo kijito cha Kishoni,
Do to them as you did to Midian and Sisera, just as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon.
10 ambao waliangamia huko Endori na wakawa kama takataka juu ya nchi.
They perished at Endor, and they became like the dung of the earth.
11 Wafanye wakuu wao kama Orebu na Zeebu, watawala wao kama Zeba na Salmuna,
Set their leaders to be like Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna: all their leaders
12 ambao walisema, “Na tumiliki nchi ya malisho ya Mungu.”
who said, “Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance.”
13 Ee Mungu wangu, wapeperushe kama mavumbi ya kisulisuli, kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.
My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind.
14 Kama vile moto uteketezavyo msitu au mwali wa moto unavyounguza milima,
Set them like a fire burning up the forest, and like a flame burning up the mountains.
15 wafuatilie kwa tufani yako na kuwafadhaisha kwa dhoruba yako.
So will you pursue them in your tempest, and disturb them in your wrath.
16 Funika nyuso zao kwa aibu ili watu walitafute jina lako, Ee Bwana.
Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek your name, O Lord.
17 Wao na waaibishwe na kufadhaishwa milele, na waangamie kwa aibu.
Let them be ashamed and troubled, from age to age, and 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.
And let them know that the Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High in all the earth.
