A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
1 Keep not thou silence, O God:
Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Ee Mungu, usistarehe, Ee Mungu, usinyamae, wala usitulie.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult:
And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Maana adui zako wanafanya ghasia, Nao wakuchukiao wameviinua vichwa vyao.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people,
And consulted against thy hidden ones.
Juu ya watu wako wanafanya hila, Na kushauriana juu yao uliowaficha.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
Wamesema, Njoni, tuwakatilie mbali wasiwe taifa, Na jina la Israeli halitakumbukwa tena.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent:
They are confederate against thee:
Maana wanashauriana kwa moyo mmoja, Juu yako wanafanyana agano.
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;
Of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Hema za Edomu, na Waishmaeli, Na Moabu, na Wahagari,
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
The Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Gebali, na Amoni, na Amaleki, Na Filisti, nao wanaokaa Tiro,
8 Assur also is joined with them:
They have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Ashuri naye amepatana nao, Wamewasaidia wana wa Lutu.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites;
As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Uwatende kama Midiani, kama Sisera, Kama Yabini, penye kijito Kishoni.
10 Which perished at Endor:
They became as dung for the earth.
Ambao waliangamizwa Endori; Wakawa samadi juu ya nchi.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:
Yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
Uwafanye wakuu wao kama Orebu na Zeebu, Na masheki yao wote kama Zeba na Zalmuna.
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves
The houses of God in possession.
Ambao Walisema, Na tutamalaki makao ya Mungu.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel;
As the stubble before the wind.
Ee Mungu, uwafanye kama mavumbi ya kisulisuli, Mithili ya makapi mbele ya upepo,
14 As the fire burneth a wood,
And as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
Kama moto uteketezao msitu, Kama miali ya moto iiwashayo milima,
15 So persecute them with thy tempest,
And make them afraid with thy storm.
Ndivyo utakavyowafuatia kwa tufani yako, Na kuwafadhaisha kwa dhoruba yako.
16 Fill their faces with shame;
That they may seek thy name, O LORD.
Uwajaze nyuso zao fedheha; Wakalitafute jina lako, Bwana.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever;
Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
Waaibike, wafadhaike milele, Naam, watahayarike na kupotea.
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH,
Art the Most High over all the earth.
Wajue ya kuwa Wewe, uitwaye jina lako YEHOVA, Ndiwe peke yako Uliye juu, juu ya nchi yote.
