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!

To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

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

Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 Makaratidza vanhu venyu nguva dzakaoma; makatipa waini inotidzedzeresa.

Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

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

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah)

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

That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

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

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete 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, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

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

Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

9 Ndianiko achandiisa kuguta rakakomberedzwa? Ndianiko achanditungamirira kuenda kuEdhomu?

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

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

[Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

11 Tibatsirei pavavengi vedu, nokuti rubatsiro rwavanhu haruna maturo.

Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

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

Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
