< Psalms 60 >

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Lily of Testimony." A precious Psalm of David, to instruct. When he waged war with Aram-neharaim, and with Aram-zobah, —and then Joab returned and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou hast rejected us—hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us?
Mungu, wewe umetutupa; umeuvunja ulinzi wetu; wewe umekuwa hasirani; utuwezeshe tena.
2 Thou hast shaken the land—hast rent it, Heal thou the fractures thereof—for it hath tottered:
Wewe umeifanya nchi kutetemeka; umeipasua pasua; uiponye nyufa zake, maana zinatikisika.
3 Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.
Wewe umewafanya watu wako kuona mambo magumu; umetufanya tunywe mvinyo wenye kutufanya kupepesuka.
4 Thou hadst given—to them that revere thee—a banner, to float aloft, Because of [thy] faithfulness. (Selah)
Kwa wale wanao kuheshimu wewe, wewe umeweka bandera ionekane dhidi ya wale wabebao upinde. (Selah)
5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand—and answer us.
Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waweze kuokolewa, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.
6 God, hath spoken in his holiness—I will exult! I will apportion Shechem, And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;
Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake, “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na kuligawa bonde la Sukothi.
7 Mine, is Gilead—and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;
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 wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph.
Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; juu ya Edomu nitatupa kiatu changu; nitapiga kelele za ushindi kwa sababu ya Filisti.”
9 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!
Ni nani atakaye nileta kwenye mji imara? Ni nani ataniongoza kwenda Edomu?
10 Is it not, thou, O God?—thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts?
Lakini wewe, Mungu, je, haukutukataa? Wewe hauendi vitani pamoja na jeshi letu.
11 Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man:
Utusaidie dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa mwanadamu ni bure.
12 In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.
Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutashinda; yeye atawakanyaga chini adui zetu.
