Zaburi 60
1 Mungu, wewe umetutupa; umeuvunja ulinzi wetu; wewe umekuwa hasirani; utuwezeshe tena.
For the chief musician; set to Shushan Eduth. A michtam of David, for teaching. When he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. God, you have cast us off; you have broken through our defenses; you have been angry; restore us again.
2 Wewe umeifanya nchi kutetemeka; umeipasua pasua; uiponye nyufa zake, maana zinatikisika.
You have made the land tremble; you have torn it apart; heal its fissures, for it is shaking.
3 Wewe umewafanya watu wako kuona mambo magumu; umetufanya tunywe mvinyo wenye kutufanya kupepesuka.
You have made your people see difficult things; you have made us drink the wine of staggering.
4 Kwa wale wanao kuheshimu wewe, wewe umeweka bandera ionekane dhidi ya wale wabebao upinde. (Selah)
For those who honor you, you have set up a banner to be displayed against those who carry the bow. (Selah)
5 Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waweze kuokolewa, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.
So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.
6 Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake, “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na kuligawa bonde la Sukothi.
God has spoken in his holiness, “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out 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 also 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; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.”
9 Ni nani atakaye nileta kwenye mji imara? Ni nani ataniongoza kwenda Edomu?
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Lakini wewe, Mungu, je, haukutukataa? Wewe hauendi vitani pamoja na jeshi letu.
But you, God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.
11 Utusaidie dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa mwanadamu ni bure.
Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.
12 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutashinda; yeye atawakanyaga chini adui zetu.
We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
