Psalms 60
1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.] God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
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 made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
Usulizamazamisile ilizwe waliqhekeza; namathisela iminkenke yalo ngoba selivevezela.
3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
Ubabonisile abantu bakho izikhathi ezilukhuni; usiphe iwayini elisenza sidiyazele.
4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
Kodwa kulabo abakwesabayo usuphakamise uphawu lokubahlanganisa ndawonye.
5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand and answer me.
Sisindise, usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene, ukuze bonke labo obathandayo bakhululwe.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.
UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele: “Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu, ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami; u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.
8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."
IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela, phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami; phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na? Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?
10 Haven't you, God, rejected us? You do not go out with our armies, God.
Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusilahlile, ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?
11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
Ake usisize ezitheni zethu, ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba, njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
