1
Ee Bwana, Mungu wa kisasi, Mungu wa kisasi, uangaze,
O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
2
Mwenye kuihukumu nchi, ujitukuze, Uwape wenye kiburi stahili zao.
Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
3
Bwana, hata lini wasio haki, Hata lini wasio haki watashangilia?
How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
4
Je! Wote watendao uovu watatoa maneno, Na kusema majivuno, na kufanya kiburi?
They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
5
Ee Bwana, wanawaseta watu wako; Wanautesa urithi wako;
They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
6
Wanamwua mjane na mgeni; Wanawafisha yatima.
They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7
Nao husema, Bwana haoni; Mungu wa Yakobo hafikiri.
They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
8
Enyi wajinga miongoni mwa watu, fikirini; Enyi wapumbavu, lini mtakapopata akili?
Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
9
Aliyelitia sikio mahali pake asisikie? Aliyelifanya jicho asione?
He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
10
Awaadibuye mataifa asikemee? Amfundishaye mwanadamu asijue?
He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
11
Bwana anajua mawazo ya mwanadamu, Ya kuwa ni ubatili.
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
12
Ee Bwana, heri mtu yule umwadibuye, Na kumfundisha kwa sheria yako;
Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
13
Upate kumstarehesha siku za mabaya, Hata asiye haki atakapochimbiwa shimo.
to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14
Kwa kuwa Bwana hatawatupa watu wake, Wala hutauacha urithi wake,
For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
15
Maana hukumu itairejea haki, Na wote walio wanyofu wa moyo wataifuata.
Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16
Ni nani atakayesimama Kwa ajili yangu juu ya wabaya? Ni nani atakayenisaidia Juu yao wafanyao maovu?
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17
Kama Bwana asingalikuwa msaada wangu, Nafsi yangu kwa upesi ingalikaa penye kimya.
Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18
Niliposema, Mguu wangu unateleza; Ee Bwana, fadhili zako zilinitegemeza.
If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
19
Katika wingi wa mawazo ya moyoni mwangu, Faraja zako zaifurahisha roho yangu.
When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
20
Je! Kiti cha udhalimu kishirikiane nawe, Kitungacho madhara kwa njia ya sheria?
Can a corrupt throne be Your ally—one devising mischief by decree?
21
Huishambulia nafsi yake mwenye haki, Na kuihukumu damu isiyo na hatia.
They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22
Lakini Bwana amekuwa ngome kwangu, Na Mungu wangu mwamba wangu wa kukimbilia.
But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
23
Naye atawarudishia uovu wao, Atawaangamiza katika ubaya wao, Naam, Bwana, Mungu wetu, atawaangamiza. </p>
He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
