Psalms 81
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema raAsafi. Imbirai Mwari nomufaro iye simba redu; danidzirai kuna Mwari waJakobho!
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
Vambai rwiyo, muridze tambureni, ridzai mbira dzinonakidza nomutengeranwa.
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
Ridzai runyanga rwehwai paKugara kwoMwedzi, uye pakuchena kwomwedzi, pazuva roMutambo wedu;
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
ichi ndicho chirevo chaIsraeri, chakatarwa naMwari waJakobho.
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
Akachisimbisa somutemo wakanyorwa waJosefa panguva yaakandorwa neIjipiti, uko kwatakanzwa mutauro watakanga tisinganzwisisi.
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
Iye anoti, “Ndakabvisa mutoro pamapfudzi avo; maoko avo akasunungurwa padengu.
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Pakutambudzika kwako wakadana ini ndikakununura, ndakakupindura ndiri mugore rokutinhira; ndakakuedza pamvura zhinji yeMeribha. Sera
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
“Inzwai, imi vanhu vangu, uye ndichakuyambirai, kana mukada chete kunditeerera, imi Israeri!
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
Pakati penyu ngaparege kuva namwari wavatorwa, musapfugamira mwari wokumwe.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva munyika yeIjipiti. Shamisa muromo wako kwazvo, ndigouzadza.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
“Asi vanhu vangu havana kuda kundinzwa, Israeri haana kuda kuzviisa pasi pangu.
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Saka ndakavaregera paukukutu hwemwoyo yavo, kuti vatevere mano avo.
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
“Kana vanhu vangu vakada kunditeerera, kana Israeri akada kutevera nzira dzangu,
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
ndaikurumidza kukunda sei vavengi vavo nokurova vavengi vavo noruoko rwangu!
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
Vaya vanovenga Jehovha vachatya pamberi pake, uye kurangwa kwavo kuchagara nokusingaperi.
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
Asi imi muchagutswa nezviyo zvakaisvonaka; uye ndichakugutsai nouchi hunobva padombo.”
