< Psalms 108 >
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.
Wimbo. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, moyo wangu ni thabiti; nitaimba na kusifu kwa moyo wangu wote.
2 Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
3 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
4 For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.
6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
Gileadi ni yangu, Manase ni yangu, Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.
9 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
12 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
