1
Ee Mungu, mataifa wameingia katika urithi wako, Wamelinajisi hekalu lako takatifu. Wamefanya Yerusalemu chungu chungu.
A Psalm of Asaph. The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
2
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 corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3
Wamemwaga damu yao kama maji Pande zote za Yerusalemu, Wala hapakuwa na mzishi.
They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
4
Tumekuwa lawama kwa jirani zetu, Mzaha na dhihaka kwao wanaotuzunguka.
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
5
Ee Bwana, hata lini? Utaona hasira milele? Wivu wako utawaka kama moto?
How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Ukali wako uwamwagie mataifa wasiokujua, Na falme za hao wasioliitia jina lako.
Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,
7
Kwa maana wamemla Yakobo, Na matuo yake wameyaharibu.
for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.
8
Usikumbuke juu yetu maovu ya baba zetu, Rehema zako zije kutulaki hima, Kwa maana tumedhilika sana.
Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.
9
Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, utusaidie, Kwa ajili ya utukufu wa jina lako. Utuokoe, utughofiri dhambi zetu, Kwa ajili ya jina lako.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for the sake of Your name.
10
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 ask, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, make known among the nations Your vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants.
11
Kuugua kwake aliyefungwa Na kuingie mbele zako. Kwa kadiri ya uweza wa mkono wako Uwahifadhi wana wa mauti.
May the groans of the captives reach You; by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.
12
Uwalipe jirani zetu mara saba vifuani mwao Laumu zao walizokulaumu, Ee Bwana.
Pay back into the laps of our neighbors sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord.
13
Na sisi tulio watu wako, Na kondoo za malisho yako, Tutakushukuru milele; Tutazisimulia sifa zako kizazi kwa kizazi.
Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will thank You forever; from generation to generation we will declare Your praise.
