Zaburi 108

1 Ee Mungu, moyo wangu u thabiti; nitaimba, naam, nitaimba sifa pia kwa moyo mkuu.

A Canticle Psalm, of David himself. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.

2 Amka, kinanda na kinubi; nitaamka alfajiri.

Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.

3 Nitakushukuru wewe, Yahwe, kati ya watu; nitakuimbia sifa kati ya mataifa.

I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.

4 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu juu ya mbingu; na uaminifu wako wafika mawinguni.

For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.

5 Ee Mungu, uinuliwe, juu ya mbingu, na utukufu wako utukuke juu ya nchi.

Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth,

6 Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waokolewe, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.

so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me.

7 Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake; “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na nitalipima bonde la Sukothi.

God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.

8 Gileadi ni yangu, na manase ni yangu; Ephraimu ni nguvu ya kichwa changu; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah is my king.

9 Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; nitatupa kiatu changu juu ya Edomu; nitapaza sauti katika ushindi kwa ajili ya Filisti.

Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends.

10 Ni nani atakaye nipeleka kwenye mji imara? Ni nani atakayeniongoza mpaka Edomu?”

Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into Idumea?

11 Ee Mungu, sio wewe uliyetukataa? Hauendi vitani na jeshi letu.

Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?

12 Utupe msaada dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa wanadamu ni bure.

Grant us help from tribulation, for vain is the help of man.

13 Tutashinda kwa msaada wa Mungu; atawakanyaga kwa adui zetu.

In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
