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. 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?

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

Thou hast shaken the land—hast rent it, Heal thou the fractures thereof—for it hath tottered:

3 Makaratidza vanhu venyu nguva dzakaoma; makatipa waini inotidzedzeresa.

Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.

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

Thou hadst given—to them that revere thee—a banner, to float aloft, Because of [thy] faithfulness. (Selah)

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

That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand—and answer us.

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 apportion Shechem, And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

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

Mine, is Gilead—and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;

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

Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph.

9 Ndianiko achandiisa kuguta rakakomberedzwa? Ndianiko achanditungamirira kuenda kuEdhomu?

Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!

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

Is it not, thou, O God?—thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts?

11 Tibatsirei pavavengi vedu, nokuti rubatsiro rwavanhu haruna maturo.

Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man:

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

In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.
