Psalms 10
1 Why do thou stand afar off, O Jehovah? Why do thou hide thyself in times of trouble?
Munomirireiko kure, imi Jehovha? Munozvivanzireiko panguva yokutambudzika?
2 In the pride of the wicked man the poor man is hotly pursued. Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
Pakuzvikudza kwake munhu akaipa anovhima vasina simba, vanobatwa namano okufunga kwake.
3 For the wicked man boasts of his heart's desire. And the greedy man renounces, yea, despises Jehovah.
Anozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinopangwa nomwoyo wake; anoropafadza vanokara uye anozvidza Jehovha.
4 The wicked man, in the pride of his countenance, says, He will not require it. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
Pakuzvikudza kwake akaipa haamutsvaki; mundangariro dzake dzose hamuna nzvimbo yaMwari.
5 His ways are profane at all times. Thy judgments are far above out of his sight. As for all his adversaries, he puffs at them.
Nzira dzake dzinobudirira nguva dzose; anozvikudza uye mirayiro yenyu iri kure naye; anodadira vavengi vake vose.
6 He says in his heart, I shall not be moved. To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
Anoti pakufunga kwake, “Hakuna chichandizungunusa; ndichagara ndakafara uye handingatongotambudziki.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Muromo wake uzere nokutuka, kureva nhema, uye nokutyisidzira; matambudziko nezvakaipa zviri pasi porurimi rwake.
8 He sits in the lurking-places of the villages. In the covert places he murders the innocent man. His eyes are secretly set against the poor man.
Anovandira ari pedyo nemisha; pakuvandira uku anouraya vasina mhosva, ari panzvimbo yakavanzika anotarira vaachaparadza.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net.
Anovandira seshumba iri panzvimbo yayo; anovandira kuti abate vasina anovabatsira; anobata vasina anobatsira uye anovakweva achienda navo mumumbure wake.
10 He crouches, he bows down, and helpless men fall by his strong men.
Vabatwa vake anovapwanya, vanowa; vanowira pasi pesimba rake.
11 He says in his heart, God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.
Anoti mumwoyo make, “Mwari akanganwa; akafukidza chiso chake uye haazoonizve.”
12 Arise, O Jehovah, O God, lift up thy hand. Do not forget the poor.
Simukai, imi Jehovha! Simudzai ruoko rwenyu, imi Mwari. Regai kukanganwa vanomanikidzwa.
13 Why does the wicked man despise God, and say in his heart, Thou will not require it?
Munhu akaipa anozvidzireiko Mwari? Seiko achiti mumwoyo make, “Haazondibvunzi?”
14 Thou have seen. For thou behold mischief and spite, to repay with thy hand. The poor man commits himself to thee. Thou have been the helper of the fatherless.
Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, munoona kutambudzika nokusuwa; munokutarisisa kuti mukupedze. Asina simba anozviisa kwamuri; muri mubatsiri wenherera.
15 Break thou the arm of the sinner and the evil man. His wickedness shall be sought, and shall not be found.
Vhunai ruoko rweakaipa nerwomunhu akaipa; ngaazvidavirire pazvakaipa zvake zvakanga zvisingazoonekwi.
16 Jehovah is King forever and ever. The nations have perished out of his land.
Jehovha ndiye Mambo nokusingaperi-peri; ndudzi dzichaparara munyika yake.
17 Jehovah, thou have heard the desire of the humble. Thou will prepare their heart, thou will cause thine ear to hear,
Munonzwa henyu, imi Jehovha, zvishuvo zvavanotambura; munovakurudzira, uye munoteerera kuchema kwavo,
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may no more be terrible.
muchiruramisira nherera nevakamanikidzwa, kuti munhu wenyika, arege kuramba achingovhundutsa.
