Zaburi 80
1 Usikie, Mchungaji wa Israel, wewe uliye muongoza Yusufu kama kundi; wewe uketiye juu ya makerubi, utuangazie!
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth.
2 Machoni pa Efraimu na Benjamini na Manase, uziinue nguvu zako; njoo na utuokoe.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3 Mungu, uturejeshe sisi; uangaze uso wako juu yetu, nasi tutaokolewa.
Restore us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 Yahwe Mungu wa majeshi, mpaka lini utawakasirikia watu wako wanapoomba?
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 Umewalisha wa mkate wa machozi na umewapa machozi ili wanywe katika kiasi kikubwa.
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6 Umetufanya kitu kwa ajili ya majirani zetu kubishania, na maadui zetu hucheka kuhusu sisi kati yao.
Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Mungu wa majeshi, uturejeshe sisi; nasi tutaokolewa.
Restore us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 Wewe ulileta mzabibu kutoka Misri; ukawafukuza mataifa na ukaupanda.
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Uliisafisha ardhi kwa ajil yake; nao ulipata mzizi na kuijaza nchi.
Thou didst prepare room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 Milima ilifunikwa kwa kivuli chake, mierezi ya Mungu kwa matawi yake.
The hills were covered with its shadow, and its boughs were like the goodly cedars.
11 Ilieneza matawi yake mbali kama bahari na mashina yake mpaka kwenye Mto Euphrates.
She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.
12 Kwa nini umezibomoa kuta zake hata wapitao karibu huyachuma matunda yake.
Why hast thou then broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?
13 Ngurue wa msituni wanauharibu, na wanyama wa kondeni wanaula.
The boar from the forest doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 Urudi, Ee Mungu wa majeshi; kutoka mbinguni utazame chini na uuangalie na kuujali huu mzabibu.
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 Huu ni mzizi ambao mkono wako wa kuume umeupanda, mashina ambayo wewe uliyafanya yakue.
And the vineyard which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 Yamekatwa na kuchomwa; yameangamia kwa sababu ya kukemea kwako.
It is burnt with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Mkono wako na uwe juu ya mtu aliye mkono wako wa kuume, kwa mwana wa mtu uliyemfanya imara kwa ajili yako mwenyewe.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18 Ndipo hatuta kuacha wewe; utuhuishe, nasi tutaliita jina lako.
So will we not go back from thee: revive us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Yahwe, Mungu wa majeshi, uturejeshe sisi; utuangazie nuru ya uso wako, nasi tutaokolewa.
Restore us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
