< Psalms 108 >
1 A song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.
Ee Mungu, moyo wangu u thabiti; nitaimba, naam, nitaimba sifa pia kwa moyo mkuu.
2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
Amka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.
3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
Nitakushukuru wewe, Yahwe, kati ya watu; nitakuimbia sifa kati ya mataifa.
4 For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu juu ya mbingu; na uaminifu wako wafika mawinguni.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Ee Mungu, uinuliwe, juu ya mbingu, na utukufu wako utukuke juu ya nchi.
6 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waokolewe, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.
7 God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake; “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na nitalipima bonde la Sukothi.
8 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
Gileadi ni yangu, na manase ni yangu; Ephraimu ni nguvu ya kichwa changu; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.
9 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; nitatupa kiatu changu juu ya Edomu; nitapaza sauti katika ushindi kwa ajili ya Filisti.
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
Ni nani atakaye nipeleka kwenye mji imara? Ni nani atakayeniongoza mpaka Edomu?”
11 Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
Ee Mungu, sio wewe uliyetukataa? Hauendi vitani na jeshi letu.
12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
Utupe msaada dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa wanadamu ni bure.
13 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
Tutashinda kwa msaada wa Mungu; atawakanyaga kwa adui zetu.
