Psalms 60
1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine, When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men. O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Kulandelwa itshuni ethi, “Iluba lesiVumelwano.” Imikithamu kaDavida. Elokufundisa. Lapho alwa lo-Aramu Naharayimu lo-Aramu Zobha, njalo lapho uJowabi athi ekubuyeni kwakhe walahla phansi ama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili eSigodini seTswayi. Ususilahlile, Oh Nkulunkulu, wabhidliza izinqaba zethu; ubukade uthukuthele, manje ake usivuselele!
2 Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
Usulizamazamisile ilizwe waliqhekeza; namathisela iminkenke yalo ngoba selivevezela.
3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.
Ubabonisile abantu bakho izikhathi ezilukhuni; usiphe iwayini elisenza sidiyazele.
4 Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.
Kodwa kulabo abakwesabayo usuphakamise uphawu lokubahlanganisa ndawonye.
5 Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
Sisindise, usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene, ukuze bonke labo obathandayo bakhululwe.
6 God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele: “Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu, ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.
7 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami; u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.
8 Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.
IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela, phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami; phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na? Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusilahlile, ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
Ake usisize ezitheni zethu, ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.
12 Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba, njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
