Zaburi 60
1 Mungu, wewe umetutupa; umeuvunja ulinzi wetu; wewe umekuwa hasirani; utuwezeshe tena.
To the Overseer. — 'Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt — twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us — hadst been angry! — Thou dost turn back to us.
2 Wewe umeifanya nchi kutetemeka; umeipasua pasua; uiponye nyufa zake, maana zinatikisika.
Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
3 Wewe umewafanya watu wako kuona mambo magumu; umetufanya tunywe mvinyo wenye kutufanya kupepesuka.
Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
4 Kwa wale wanao kuheshimu wewe, wewe umeweka bandera ionekane dhidi ya wale wabebao upinde. (Selah)
Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. (Selah)
5 Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waweze kuokolewa, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.
That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
6 Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake, “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na kuligawa bonde la Sukothi.
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult — I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
7 Gileadi ni yangu, na Manase ni yangu na Ephraimu pia ni kofia yangu ya chuma; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.
Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
8 Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; juu ya Edomu nitatupa kiatu changu; nitapiga kelele za ushindi kwa sababu ya Filisti.”
Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.
9 Ni nani atakaye nileta kwenye mji imara? Ni nani ataniongoza kwenda Edomu?
Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
10 Lakini wewe, Mungu, je, haukutukataa? Wewe hauendi vitani pamoja na jeshi letu.
Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
11 Utusaidie dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa mwanadamu ni bure.
Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the deliverance of man.
12 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutashinda; yeye atawakanyaga chini adui zetu.
In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
