Zaburi 60
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Shushani Eduthi.” Utenzi wa Daudi wa kufundisha. Wakati alipopigana na Waaramu kutoka Aramu-Naharaimu na Aramu-Soba, naye Yoabu akarudi nyuma na kuwaua Waedomu 12,000 katika Bonde la Chumvi. Ee Mungu, umetukataa na kutokea ghafula juu yetu, umekasirika: sasa turejeshe upya!
O God thou have cast us off. Thou have broken us down. Thou have been angry. O restore us again.
2 Umetetemesha nchi na kuipasua; uiponye mavunjiko yake, kwa maana inatetemeka.
Thou have made the land to tremble. Thou have torn it. Heal the breaking of it, for it shakes.
3 Umewaonyesha watu wako nyakati za kukata tamaa; umetunywesha mvinyo unaotuyumbisha.
Thou have shown thy people hard things. Thou have made us to drink the wine of staggering.
4 Kwa wale wanaokucha wewe, umewainulia bendera, ili iweze kutwekwa dhidi ya upinde.
Thou have given a banner to those who fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.
6 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gileadi ni yangu na Manase ni yangu; Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
8 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Philistia, shout thou because of me.
9 Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
10 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
Have not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.
11 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
12 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries.
