Zaburi 83
1 Ee Mungu, usikae kimya! usitupuuze na kustarehe, Ee Mungu.
“A psalm of Asaph.” O God! keep not silence! Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God!
2 Tazama, adui zako wanafanya vurugu, na wale wakuchukiao wameinua vichwa vyao.
For, lo! thine enemies roar, And they who hate thee lift up their heads.
3 Wanafanya hila juu ya watu wako na kwa pamoja kupanga njama dhidi ya wale uwalindao. Wamesema,
For they form secret plots against thy people, And consult together against thy chosen ones.
4 “Njoni na tuwaangamize wao kama taifa. Kisha jina la Israeli halitakumbukwa.”
“Come,” say they, “let us blot them out from the number of the nations, That the name of Israel may no more be remembered!”
5 Wamepanga njama pamoja wakiwa na mkakati mmoja; wamefanya muungano dhidi yako.
With one consent they consult together, Against thee do they form a league, —
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, Of Moab and the Hagarenes,
7 Gebal, Amoni, Amaleki; pia inajumuisha Filisti na wenyeji wa Tiro.
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, The Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Ashuri pia ameshirikina nao; wanawasaidia wana wa Lutu. Serah
The Assyrians also are joined with them; They lend their strength to the children of Lot.
9 Ufanye kwao kama ulivyofanya kwa Midiani, kama ulivyofanya kwa Sisera na kwa Yabini kwenye Mto Kishoni.
Do to them as to the Midianites, As to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook Kison,
10 Waliangamizwa kule Endori na wakawa kama mbolea juu ya chi.
Who perished at Endor, And were trampled like dung to the earth.
11 Uvifanye vyeo vyao kama Oreb na Zeeb, na wakuu wao wote kama Zeba na Zalmuna.
Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes as Zeba and Zalmunna!
12 Wao walisema, natujimilikishe malisho ya Mungu.”
Who say, “Let us seize on God's habitations!”
13 Ee Mungu wangu, uwafanye kama mavumbi ya kisulisuli, kama makapi mbele ya upepo,
Make them, O my God! like whirling chaff; Like stubble before the wind!
14 Kama moto uteketezao msitu, na kama miali ya moto iwakayo milimani.
As fire consumeth the forest, And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze,
15 Uwafuatie kwa tufani yako, na kuwafadhaisha kwa dhoruba yako.
So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm!
16 Uwajaze nyuso zao kwa aibu ili kwamba waweze kulitafuta jina lako, Yahwe.
Cover their faces with shame, That they may seek thy name, O LORD!
17 Nao waaibishwe na kufadhaishwa milele; waangamizwe katika aibu.
Let them be confounded! Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish!
18 Kisha watajua kwamba ni wewe pekee, Yahwe, Uliye Juu ya nchi yote.
That they may know that thy name alone is Jehovah; That thou art the Most High over all the earth.
