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 Overseer. — 'Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt — twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us — hadst been angry! — Thou dost turn back to us.
2 Makazungunusa nyika mukaitsemura napakati; gadzirai henyu mitswe yayo, nokuti iri kudengenyeka.
Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
3 Makaratidza vanhu venyu nguva dzakaoma; makatipa waini inotidzedzeresa.
Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
4 Asi kuna vanokutyai, makasimudza mureza kuti urege kupfaranyurwa neuta. Sera
Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. (Selah)
5 Tiponesei uye tibatsirei noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, kuti avo vamunoda varwirwe.
That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy 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 exult — I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
7 Gireadhi nderangu, uye Manase ndowangu; Efuremu inguwani yangu yakasimba, Judha itsvimbo yangu.
Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
8 Moabhu ndiwo mudziyo wangu wokushambira, pamusoro paEdhomu ndipo pandinokanda shangu yangu; pamusoro paFiristia ndinopururudza mukukunda.”
Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.
9 Ndianiko achandiisa kuguta rakakomberedzwa? Ndianiko achanditungamirira kuenda kuEdhomu?
Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
10 Hamusimi, iyemi Mwari, iyemi makatiramba here, uye mukarega kubuda nehondo dzedu?
Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
11 Tibatsirei pavavengi vedu, nokuti rubatsiro rwavanhu haruna maturo.
Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the deliverance of man.
12 NaMwari wedu, tichakunda, uye achatsikira vavengi vedu pasi.
In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
