Psalms 83
1 A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, do not keep silent. Do not keep silent, and do not be still, God.
Ingoma. Ihubo lika-Asafi. Oh Nkulunkulu, ungathuli uthi zwi; ungangincitshi indlebe yakho, ungameli khatshana lami, Oh Nkulunkulu.
2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
Akubone ukuthi ziphithizela kanjani izitha zakho, ukuthi ziwaqaphisa kanganani amakhanda azo.
3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
Ngobuqili zakhela abantu bakho amacebo; zisongela labo obathembileyo.
4 “Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
Bathi, “Wozani kasibabhuqe du njengesizwe, ukuze ibizo lika-Israyeli lingaphindi likhunjulwe.”
5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
Nganhliziyonye bawakha amacebo ndawonye; bayahlangana beme ndawonye ukumelana lawe,
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
amathente ase-Edomi lama-Ishumayeli, awamaMowabi lawamaHagari,
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
amaGebhali, lama-Amoni lama-Amaleki, amaFilistiya labantu beThire.
8 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)
Lama-Asiriya asebambene labo ukuqinisa izizukulwane zikaLothi.
9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
Yenza kubo njengoba wenza eMidiyani, njengowakwenza kuSisera loJabhini emfuleni iKhishoni,
10 who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
ababhubha e-Endo baba njengezibi emhlabathini.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
Yenza izikhulu zabo zibe njengo-Orebhi loZebhi, wonke amakhosana abo abe njengoZebha loZalimuna,
12 who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
abathi, “Kasiwathumbe amadlelo kaNkulunkulu.”
13 My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
Benze babe njengenkunkuma, Oh Nkulunkulu wami, njengamakhoba ephetshulwa ngumoya.
14 As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
Njengalokhu umlilo uhangula igusu kumbe ilangabi lilumathisa izintaba,
15 so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
kanjalo basukele ngesivunguvungu sakho ubethuse ngesiphepho sakho.
16 Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.
Bahuqe ubuso babo ngehlazo ukuze abantu balidinge ibizo lakho, Oh Thixo.
17 Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
Sengathi bangayangeka lanini badunyazwe; kungathi bangafa belehlazo.
18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
Yenza bakwazi ukuthi wena, obizo lakho unguThixo ukuthi wena wedwa ungoPhezukonke emhlabeni wonke.
