Psalms 52
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [thy] mischief? All the day
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. Dhoegi muEdhomu paakanga aenda kuna Sauro akamuudza kuti: “Dhavhidhi aenda kumba kwaAhimereki.” Ko, unozvikudzirei pane zvakaipa, iwe murume wesimba? Unozvikudzirei zuva rose, iyewe unonyadzisa pamberi paMwari?
2 thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit.
Rurimi rwako runofarira zvokuparadza; rwakaita sechisvo chakarodzwa, iyewe unogara uchingonyengera.
3 Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)
Unoda zvakaipa pachinzvimbo chezvakanaka, kureva nhema pachinzvimbo chokutaura chokwadi. Sera
4 Thou has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.
Unoda shoko rimwe nerimwe rinoparadza, iwe rurimi runonyengera!
5 Therefore may God destroy thee for ever, may he pluck thee up and utterly remove thee from [thy] dwelling, and thy root from the land of the living. (Pause)
Zvirokwazvo Mwari achakuburutsira kukuparadzwa kusingaperi: Achakubvuta agokubvisa mutende rako; achakudzura kubva munyika yavapenyu. Sera
6 And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,
Vakarurama vachazviona uye vachatya; vachamuseka vachiti,
7 Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.
“Houno zvino munhu asina kuita Mwari nhare yake, asi aivimba nepfuma yake zhinji, uye aisimba nokuparadza vamwe!”
8 But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.
Asi ini ndakaita somuti womuorivhi unokura zvakanaka mumba maMwari; ndinovimba norudo rusingaperi rwaMwari, nokusingaperi-peri.
9 I will give thanks to thee for ever, for thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before the saints.
Ndichakurumbidzai, nokusingaperi nokuda kwezvamakaita; ndichavimba nezita renyu, nokuti zita renyu rakanaka. Ndichakurumbidzai pamberi pavatsvene venyu.
