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.
Mungu, wewe umetutupa; umeuvunja ulinzi wetu; wewe umekuwa hasirani; utuwezeshe tena.
2 Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
Wewe umeifanya nchi kutetemeka; umeipasua pasua; uiponye nyufa zake, maana zinatikisika.
3 Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
Wewe umewafanya watu wako kuona mambo magumu; umetufanya tunywe mvinyo wenye kutufanya kupepesuka.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
Kwa wale wanao kuheshimu wewe, wewe umeweka bandera ionekane dhidi ya wale wabebao upinde. (Selah)
5 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waweze kuokolewa, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.
6 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake, “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na kuligawa 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 na Ephraimu pia ni kofia yangu ya chuma; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.
8 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; juu ya Edomu nitatupa kiatu changu; nitapiga kelele za ushindi kwa sababu ya Filisti.”
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
Ni nani atakaye nileta kwenye mji imara? Ni nani ataniongoza kwenda Edomu?
10 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
Lakini wewe, Mungu, je, haukutukataa? Wewe hauendi vitani pamoja na jeshi letu.
11 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
Utusaidie dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa mwanadamu ni bure.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutashinda; yeye atawakanyaga chini adui zetu.
