< Zaburi 83 >
1 Ee Mungu, usikae kimya! usitupuuze na kustarehe, Ee Mungu.
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, adui zako wanafanya vurugu, na wale wakuchukiao wameinua vichwa vyao.
For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head.
3 Wanafanya hila juu ya watu wako na kwa pamoja kupanga njama dhidi ya wale uwalindao. Wamesema,
They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones.
4 “Njoni na tuwaangamize wao kama taifa. Kisha jina la Israeli halitakumbukwa.”
They have said, “Come, let us scatter them from the nations and not allow the name of Israel to be remembered any longer.”
5 Wamepanga njama pamoja wakiwa na mkakati mmoja; wamefanya muungano dhidi yako.
For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant:
6 Hii inajumuisha hema za Edomu na Waishmaeli, na watu wa Moabu na Wahagari, ambao wamepanga njama pamoja nao
the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites,
7 Gebal, Amoni, Amaleki; pia inajumuisha Filisti na wenyeji wa Tiro.
and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Ashuri pia ameshirikina nao; wanawasaidia wana wa Lutu. Serah
For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot.
9 Ufanye kwao kama ulivyofanya kwa Midiani, kama ulivyofanya kwa Sisera na kwa Yabini kwenye Mto Kishoni.
Do to them as you did to Midian and Sisera, just as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon.
10 Waliangamizwa kule Endori na wakawa kama mbolea juu ya chi.
They perished at Endor, and they became like the dung of the earth.
11 Uvifanye vyeo vyao kama Oreb na Zeeb, na wakuu wao wote kama Zeba na Zalmuna.
Set their leaders to be like Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna: all their leaders
12 Wao walisema, natujimilikishe malisho ya Mungu.”
who said, “Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance.”
13 Ee Mungu wangu, uwafanye kama mavumbi ya kisulisuli, kama makapi mbele ya upepo,
My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind.
14 Kama moto uteketezao msitu, na kama miali ya moto iwakayo milimani.
Set them like a fire burning up the forest, and like a flame burning up the mountains.
15 Uwafuatie kwa tufani yako, na kuwafadhaisha kwa dhoruba yako.
So will you pursue them in your tempest, and disturb them in your wrath.
16 Uwajaze nyuso zao kwa aibu ili kwamba waweze kulitafuta jina lako, Yahwe.
Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek your name, O Lord.
17 Nao waaibishwe na kufadhaishwa milele; waangamizwe katika aibu.
Let them be ashamed and troubled, from age to age, and let them be confounded and perish.
18 Kisha watajua kwamba ni wewe pekee, Yahwe, Uliye Juu ya nchi yote.
And let them know that the Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High in all the earth.
