Psalms 60
1 O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.
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 You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.
Umetetemesha nchi na kuipasua; uiponye mavunjiko yake, kwa maana inatetemeka.
3 You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
Umewaonyesha watu wako nyakati za kukata tamaa; umetunywesha mvinyo unaotuyumbisha.
4 You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
Kwa wale wanaokucha wewe, umewainulia bendera, ili iweze kutwekwa dhidi ya upinde.
5 That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, 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.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Gileadi ni yangu na Manase ni yangu; Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.
8 Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you 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 strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
10 Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not 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 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 shall tread down our enemies.
Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
