Zaburi 83
1 Ee Mungu, usikae kimya! usitupuuze na kustarehe, Ee Mungu.
A Song. A Psalm. Of Asaph. O God, do not keep quiet: let your lips be open and take no rest, O God.
2 Tazama, adui zako wanafanya vurugu, na wale wakuchukiao wameinua vichwa vyao.
For see! those who make war on you are out of control; your haters are lifting up their heads.
3 Wanafanya hila juu ya watu wako na kwa pamoja kupanga njama dhidi ya wale uwalindao. Wamesema,
They have made wise designs against your people, talking together against those whom you keep in a secret place.
4 “Njoni na tuwaangamize wao kama taifa. Kisha jina la Israeli halitakumbukwa.”
They have said, Come, let us put an end to them as a nation; so that the name of Israel may go out of man's memory.
5 Wamepanga njama pamoja wakiwa na mkakati mmoja; wamefanya muungano dhidi yako.
For they have all come to an agreement; they are all joined together against you:
6 Hii inajumuisha hema za Edomu na Waishmaeli, na watu wa Moabu na Wahagari, ambao wamepanga njama pamoja nao
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarites;
7 Gebal, Amoni, Amaleki; pia inajumuisha Filisti na wenyeji wa Tiro.
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek; the Philistines and the people of Tyre;
8 Ashuri pia ameshirikina nao; wanawasaidia wana wa Lutu. Serah
Assur is joined with them; they have become the support of the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Ufanye kwao kama ulivyofanya kwa Midiani, kama ulivyofanya kwa Sisera na kwa Yabini kwenye Mto Kishoni.
Do to them what you did to the Midianites; what you did to Sisera and Jabin, at the stream of Kishon:
10 Waliangamizwa kule Endori na wakawa kama mbolea juu ya chi.
Who came to destruction at En-dor; their bodies became dust and waste.
11 Uvifanye vyeo vyao kama Oreb na Zeeb, na wakuu wao wote kama Zeba na Zalmuna.
Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna:
12 Wao walisema, natujimilikishe malisho ya Mungu.”
Who have said, Let us take for our heritage the resting-place of God.
13 Ee Mungu wangu, uwafanye kama mavumbi ya kisulisuli, kama makapi mbele ya upepo,
O my God, make them like the rolling dust; like dry stems before the wind.
14 Kama moto uteketezao msitu, na kama miali ya moto iwakayo milimani.
As fire burning a wood, and as a flame causing fire on the mountains,
15 Uwafuatie kwa tufani yako, na kuwafadhaisha kwa dhoruba yako.
So go after them with your strong wind, and let them be full of fear because of your storm.
16 Uwajaze nyuso zao kwa aibu ili kwamba waweze kulitafuta jina lako, Yahwe.
Let their faces be full of shame; so that they may give honour to your name, O Lord.
17 Nao waaibishwe na kufadhaishwa milele; waangamizwe katika aibu.
Let them be overcome and troubled for ever; let them be put to shame and come to destruction;
18 Kisha watajua kwamba ni wewe pekee, Yahwe, Uliye Juu ya nchi yote.
So that men may see that you only, whose name is Yahweh, are Most High over all the earth.
