Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our resting-place in all generations.
Munyengetero waMozisi munhu waMwari. Jehovha, imi makava ugaro hwedu kuzvizvarwa zvose.
2 Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God.
Makomo asati azvarwa uye musati mabudisa nyika nepasi rose, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi muri Mwari.
3 You send man back to his dust; and say, Go back, you children of men.
Munodzosera vanhu kuguruva zvakare, muchiti, “Dzokerai kuguruva, imi vanakomana vavanhu.”
4 For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.
Nokuti pamberi penyu makore chiuru akangofanana nezuva richangopfuura, kana senguva yokurinda usiku.
Munokukura vanhu pakuvata kworufu; vakaita sebundo idzva ramangwanani,
6 In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.
kunyange richimera riri idzva mangwanani, nenguva yamadekwana rinenge raoma uye rasvava.
7 We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.
Tapera nokutsamwa kwenyu uye tinovhundutswa nehasha dzenyu.
8 You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.
Makaisa zvakaipa zvedu pamberi penyu, makaisa zvivi zvedu zvakavanzika muchiedza chokuvapo kwenyu.
9 For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.
Mazuva edu ose anopfuura napasi pehasha dzenyu; tinopedza makore edu nokuchema.
10 The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.
Uwandu hwamazuva edu hunosvika makore makumi manomwe, kana makumi masere, kana tiine simba; kunyange zvakadaro uwandu hwawo hunongova nhamo nokusuwa, nokuti anokurumidza kupfuura, uye isu tobhururuka toenda.
11 Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?
Ndianiko anoziva simba rokutsamwa kwenyu? Nokuti hasha dzenyu dzakakura sokutyiwa kwakakufanirai imi.
12 So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Tidzidzisei kuverenga mazuva edu zvakanaka, kuti tiwane mwoyo wouchenjeri.
13 Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
Dzokai, imi Jehovha! Zvichadaro kusvikira riniko? Ivai netsitsi pamusoro pavaranda venyu.
14 In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days.
Tigutsei mangwanani norudo rwenyu rusingaperi, kuti tigoimba nomufaro tigofara mazuva edu ose.
15 Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
Tifadzei zvinoenzana namazuva amakatitambudza, samakore mazhinji atakaona nhamo.
16 Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children.
Mabasa enyu ngaaratidzwe kuvaranda venyu, nokubwinya kwenyu kuvana vavo.
17 Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
Nyasha dzaIshe Mwari wedu ngadzive pamusoro pedu; tisimbisirei mabasa amaoko edu, hongu, simbisai basa ramaoko edu.
