Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi, kayimbidila mu “Lisi” mu diambu di longisa mu thangu kanuana mvita ayi basi Sili ba Mesopotami ayi basi Sili ba Tsoba, ayi mu thangu Yowabi kavutuka ayi kabedisa kumi mafunda muadi ma basi Edomi mu ndimba Mungu. Ngeyo wutulozidi, a Nzambi ayi wutusasikisidi; wufuema vayi bika buabu wutufuanisa!
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
Ngeyo wunikuni ntoto ayi ngeyo wuvasudi wawu; londa miamvu miandi bila wulembo nikuka.
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
Ngeyo wumonisini batu baku zithangu ziozi zikambulu diana wutuvana vinu kindiengisanga ntu.
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
Vayi kuidi bobo beti kukinzika ngeyo wutelimisi dalapo mu diambu di batina va ntuala mimbasa.
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
Wutuvukisa ayi wutusadisa mu koko kuaku ku lubakala muingi bobo weti zola bakulu.
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
Nzambi wuyoluka tona ku buangu kiandi kinlongo: “mu ndungunu, ndiela vasa Sikemi, ndiela teza ndimba wu Sikoti;
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
Minu phuidi Ngaladi, ayi minu phuidi Manase; Efalayimi yawu nkaku wu ntu ama, ayi Yuda nkawꞌama wu kipfumu;
8 but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Mowabi diawu dibola diodi ndieti yobidila; va yilu Edoni ndiloza zisandales ziama ndiela yamikina mu diambu di ndungunu ama mu basi Filisti!”
9 [Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
Nani wela kundata ku divula di ngolo e? Nani wela kuthuadisa ku Edoni e?
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
Keti ngeyo, e Nzambi, ngeyo wutuloza e? Ngeyo wutuloza ayi wunkambu buela totukanga ayi minkangu mi masodi meto.
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Wutuvana lusadusu va ntuala mbeni bila lusadusu lu mutu luidi luphamba.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
A Nzambi, tuela nunga ayi wela kosikisa bambeni zieto.
