Ee Mungu, mataifa wameingia katika urithi wako, Wamelinajisi hekalu lako takatifu. Wamefanya Yerusalemu chungu chungu.
> God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
Wameziacha maiti za watumishi wako Ziwe chakula cha ndege wa angani. Na miili ya watauwa wako Iwe chakula cha wanyama wa nchi.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, The flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
Wamemwaga damu yao kama maji Pande zote za Yerusalemu, Wala hapakuwa na mzishi.
Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
Tumekuwa lawama kwa jirani zetu, Mzaha na dhihaka kwao wanaotuzunguka.
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
Ee Bwana, hata lini? Utaona hasira milele? Wivu wako utawaka kama moto?
How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Ukali wako uwamwagie mataifa wasiokujua, Na falme za hao wasioliitia jina lako.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you; On the kingdoms that don't call on your name;
Kwa maana wamemla Yakobo, Na matuo yake wameyaharibu.
For they have devoured Jacob, And destroyed his homeland.
Usikumbuke juu yetu maovu ya baba zetu, Rehema zako zije kutulaki hima, Kwa maana tumedhilika sana.
Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, For we are in desperate need.
Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, utusaidie, Kwa ajili ya utukufu wa jina lako. Utuokoe, utughofiri dhambi zetu, Kwa ajili ya jina lako.
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.
Kwa nini mataifa kusema, Yuko wapi Mungu wao? Kisasi cha damu ya watumishi wako iliyomwagika Kijulike kati ya mataifa machoni petu.
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, That vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.
Kuugua kwake aliyefungwa Na kuingie mbele zako. Kwa kadiri ya uweza wa mkono wako Uwahifadhi wana wa mauti.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death;
Uwalipe jirani zetu mara saba vifuani mwao Laumu zao walizokulaumu, Ee Bwana.
Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
Na sisi tulio watu wako, Na kondoo za malisho yako, Tutakushukuru milele; Tutazisimulia sifa zako kizazi kwa kizazi.
So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, Will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
