Mapisarema 60

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbirwo e“Ruva reMahapa reSungano.” Rwiyo rweMikitami rwaDhavhidhi. Rwokudzidzisa. Paakarwa neAramu Naharaimu neAramu Zobha, uye panguva yakadzoka Joabhu akaparadza zviuru gumi nezviviri zvavaEdhomu muMupata woMunyu. Makatiramba, imi Mwari, uye mukatirwisa; makanga makatsamwa, zvino tidzorei henyu!

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.

2 Makazungunusa nyika mukaitsemura napakati; gadzirai henyu mitswe yayo, nokuti iri kudengenyeka.

You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

3 Makaratidza vanhu venyu nguva dzakaoma; makatipa waini inotidzedzeresa.

You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

4 Asi kuna vanokutyai, makasimudza mureza kuti urege kupfaranyurwa neuta. Sera

You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

5 Tiponesei uye tibatsirei noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, kuti avo vamunoda varwirwe.

So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

6 Mwari akataura ari muimba yake tsvene achiti: “Ndichaganhura Shekemu nesimba uye ndichayera Mupata weSukoti.

God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gireadhi nderangu, uye Manase ndowangu; Efuremu inguwani yangu yakasimba, Judha itsvimbo yangu.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

8 Moabhu ndiwo mudziyo wangu wokushambira, pamusoro paEdhomu ndipo pandinokanda shangu yangu; pamusoro paFiristia ndinopururudza mukukunda.”

Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

9 Ndianiko achandiisa kuguta rakakomberedzwa? Ndianiko achanditungamirira kuenda kuEdhomu?

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

10 Hamusimi, iyemi Mwari, iyemi makatiramba here, uye mukarega kubuda nehondo dzedu?

Have not you, God, rejected us? You do not go out with our armies, God.

11 Tibatsirei pavavengi vedu, nokuti rubatsiro rwavanhu haruna maturo.

Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

12 NaMwari wedu, tichakunda, uye achatsikira vavengi vedu pasi.

Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
