Psalms 60
1 For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore 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 made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
Umetetemesha nchi na kuipasua; uiponye mavunjiko yake, kwa maana inatetemeka.
3 Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
Umewaonyesha watu wako nyakati za kukata tamaa; umetunywesha mvinyo unaotuyumbisha.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
Kwa wale wanaokucha wewe, umewainulia bendera, ili iweze kutwekwa dhidi ya upinde.
5 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
6 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
Gileadi ni yangu na Manase ni yangu; Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.
8 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
10 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
11 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
