Zaburi 60

1 Mungu, wewe umetutupa; umeuvunja ulinzi wetu; wewe umekuwa hasirani; utuwezeshe tena.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!

2 Wewe umeifanya nchi kutetemeka; umeipasua pasua; uiponye nyufa zake, maana zinatikisika.

You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.

3 Wewe umewafanya watu wako kuona mambo magumu; umetufanya tunywe mvinyo wenye kutufanya kupepesuka.

You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.

4 Kwa wale wanao kuheshimu wewe, wewe umeweka bandera ionekane dhidi ya wale wabebao upinde. (Selah)

You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow.

5 Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waweze kuokolewa, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.

Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

6 Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake, “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na kuligawa bonde la Sukothi.

God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

7 Gileadi ni yangu, na Manase ni yangu na Ephraimu pia ni kofia yangu ya chuma; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

8 Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; juu ya Edomu nitatupa kiatu changu; nitapiga kelele za ushindi kwa sababu ya Filisti.”

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

9 Ni nani atakaye nileta kwenye mji imara? Ni nani ataniongoza kwenda Edomu?

Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

10 Lakini wewe, Mungu, je, haukutukataa? Wewe hauendi vitani pamoja na jeshi letu.

Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

11 Utusaidie dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa mwanadamu ni bure.

Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

12 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutashinda; yeye atawakanyaga chini adui zetu.

With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
