Masalimo 60
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Kakombo wa Pangano.” Mikitamu ya Davide yophunzitsira. Pamene anamenyana ndi Mesopotamiya ndi Aramu-Zoba, ndi pamene Yowabu anabwerera ndi kukantha Aedomu 12,000 mʼChigwa cha Mchere. Inu Mulungu mwatikanatu ife, ndipo mwatiwonongera otiteteza. Inu mwatikwiyira, tsopano tibwezeretseni mwakale!
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
2 Inu mwagwedeza dziko ndipo mwalingʼamba, konzani mingʼalu yake pakuti ikugwedezeka kwambiri.
You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 Inu mwaonetsa anthu anu nthawi za mavuto; inu mwatipatsa vinyo amene watichititsa kudzandira.
You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
4 Koma kwa iwo amene amaopa Inu, Inu mwakweza mbendera kuti tisonkhanireko pothawa uta.
You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow.
5 Tipulumutseni ndi kutithandiza ndi dzanja lanu lamanja, kuti iwo amene mumawakonda apulumutsidwe.
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
6 Mulungu wayankhula kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika: “Mwakupambana ndidzagawa Sekemu ndipo ndidzayeza malire a chigwa cha Sukoti.
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
7 Giliyadi ndi wanga, Manase ndi wanganso; Efereimu ndi chipewa changa chodzitetezera, Yuda ndi ndodo yanga yaufumu
Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
8 Mowabu ndi mbale yanga yosambira, pa Edomu ndidzaponyapo nsapato yanga, pa Filisitiya ndidzafuwula mwakupambana.”
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9 Adzandifikitse ndani ku mzinda wotetezedwa? Ndani adzanditsogolera ku Edomu?
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Kodi si Inu Mulungu, Inu amene mwatikana ife ndipo simutuluka pamodzi ndi magulu athu ankhondo.
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
11 Tipatseni chithandizo kuti tilimbane ndi mdani wathu, pakuti thandizo lochokera kwa munthu ndi lopanda phindu.
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
12 Chifukwa cha Mulungu, ife tidzapeza chipambano ndipo tidzapondaponda adani athu.
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
