Zaburi 108

1 Wimbo. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, moyo wangu ni thabiti; nitaimba na kusifu kwa moyo wangu wote.

A Song, a Melody: David’s. Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

2 Amka, kinubi na zeze! Nitayaamsha mapambazuko.

Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!

3 Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana, katikati ya mataifa; nitaimba habari zako, katikati ya jamaa za watu.

I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

4 Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu, ni juu kuliko mbingu; uaminifu wako unazifikia anga.

For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

5 Ee Mungu, utukuzwe juu ya mbingu, utukufu wako na uenee duniani kote.

Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And, above all the earth, be thy glory.

6 Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.

To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

7 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.

God, hath spoken in his holiness, I will exult! I will apportion Shechem! And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

8 Gileadi ni yangu, Manase ni yangu, Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.

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

9 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”

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

10 Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?

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

11 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?

Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.

12 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.

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

13 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.

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