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.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Shushani Eduthi.” Utenzi wa Daudi wa kufundisha. Wakati alipopigana na Waaramu kutoka Aramu-Naharaimu na Aramu-Soba, naye Yoabu akarudi nyuma na kuwaua Waedomu 12,000 katika Bonde la Chumvi. Ee Mungu, umetukataa na kutokea ghafula juu yetu, umekasirika: sasa turejeshe upya!
2 Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
Umetetemesha nchi na kuipasua; uiponye mavunjiko yake, kwa maana inatetemeka.
3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.
Umewaonyesha watu wako nyakati za kukata tamaa; umetunywesha mvinyo unaotuyumbisha.
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.
Kwa wale wanaokucha wewe, umewainulia bendera, ili iweze kutwekwa dhidi ya upinde.
5 Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
6 God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
7 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
Gileadi ni yangu na Manase ni yangu; Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.
8 Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.
Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
12 Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
