Psalms 60
1 For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and struck [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, you have rejected and destroyed us; you have been angry, yet have pitied 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 You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
Usulizamazamisile ilizwe waliqhekeza; namathisela iminkenke yalo ngoba selivevezela.
3 You have shown your people hard things: you has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
Ubabonisile abantu bakho izikhathi ezilukhuni; usiphe iwayini elisenza sidiyazele.
4 You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)
Kodwa kulabo abakwesabayo usuphakamise uphawu lokubahlanganisa ndawonye.
5 That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
Sisindise, usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene, ukuze bonke labo obathandayo bakhululwe.
6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele: “Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu, ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.
7 Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami; u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.
8 Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela, phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami; phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”
9 Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na? Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?
10 Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our forces?
Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusilahlile, ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
Ake usisize ezitheni zethu, ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.
12 In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nothing them that harass us.
Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba, njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
