Psalms 60

1 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!

1 Ee Mungu, umetukataa na kutokea ghafula juu yetu, umekasirika: sasa turejeshe upya!

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

2 Umetetemesha nchi na kuipasua; uiponye mavunjiko yake, kwa maana inatetemeka.

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

3 Umewaonyesha watu wako nyakati za kukata tamaa; umetunywesha mvinyo unaotuyumbisha.

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

4 Kwa wale wanaokucha wewe, umewainulia bendera, ili iweze kutwekwa dhidi ya upinde.

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

5 Tuokoe na utusaidie kwa mkono wako wa kuume, ili wale uwapendao wapate kuokolewa.

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

6 Mungu amenena kutoka patakatifu pake: “Nitaigawa Shekemu kwa ushindi na kulipima Bonde la Sukothi.

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

7 Gileadi ni yangu na Manase ni yangu; Efraimu ni kofia yangu ya chuma, nayo Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya utawala.

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

8 Moabu ni sinia langu la kunawia, juu ya Edomu natupa kiatu changu; nashangilia kwa kushindwa kwa Ufilisti.”

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

9 Ni nani atakayenipeleka hadi mji wenye ngome? Ni nani atakayeniongoza hadi nifike Edomu?

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

10 Ee Mungu, si ni wewe uliyetukataa sisi, na hutoki tena na majeshi yetu?

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

11 Tuletee msaada dhidi ya adui, kwa maana msaada wa mwanadamu haufai kitu.

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

12 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutapata ushindi, naye atawaponda adui zetu.
