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 leader. On shushan eduth. A michtam of David (for teaching), when he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and defeated twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have spurned and broken us, routing us in your wrath – restore us!

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

You have shaken the land and cleft it; heal its tottering breaches.

3 Makaratidza vanhu venyu nguva dzakaoma; makatipa waini inotidzedzeresa.

You have made your people drink hardship, and given us wine of reeling.

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

You have given those who fear you a banner, a rallying-place from the bow, (Selah)

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

for the rescue of your beloved. Save by your right hand and answer us.

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

God did solemnly swear: “As victor will I divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

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

Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is the defence of my head, Judah my sceptre of rule,

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

Moab the pot that I wash in, Edom – I cast my shoe over it, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.”

9 Ndianiko achandiisa kuguta rakakomberedzwa? Ndianiko achanditungamirira kuenda kuEdhomu?

O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!

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

Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies.

11 Tibatsirei pavavengi vedu, nokuti rubatsiro rwavanhu haruna maturo.

Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.

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

With God we shall yet do bravely: he himself will tread down our foes.
