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!
To him that excelleth upon Shushan Eduth, or Michtam. A Psalme of David to teach. When he fought against Aram Naharaim, and against Aram Zobah, when Joab returned and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the salt valley. O God, thou hast cast vs out, thou hast scattered vs, thou hast bene angry, turne againe vnto vs.
2 Umetetemesha nchi na kuipasua; uiponye mavunjiko yake, kwa maana inatetemeka.
Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to gape: heale the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.
3 Umewaonyesha watu wako nyakati za kukata tamaa; umetunywesha mvinyo unaotuyumbisha.
Thou hast shewed thy people heauy things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of giddines.
4 Kwa wale wanaokucha wewe, umewainulia bendera, ili iweze kutwekwa dhidi ya upinde.
But now thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee, that it may be displayed because of thy trueth. (Selah)
5 Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.
That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
6 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.
God hath spoken in his holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure 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 shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.
8 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”
Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.
9 Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?
Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
10 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadest cast vs off, and didest not go forth, O God, with our armies?
11 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.
Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
12 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall tread downe our enemies.
