< Psalms 108 >
1 “A psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
Wimbo. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, moyo wangu ni thabiti; nitaimba na kusifu kwa moyo wangu wote.
2 Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.
4 For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.
5 Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.
6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!
Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
7 God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;
Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
8 Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
Gileadi ni yangu, Manase ni yangu, Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.
9 Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
10 Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
11 Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
12 Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
