Psalms 81
1 For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine presses. Rejoice you in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema raAsafi. Imbirai Mwari nomufaro iye simba redu; danidzirai kuna Mwari waJakobho!
2 Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.
Vambai rwiyo, muridze tambureni, ridzai mbira dzinonakidza nomutengeranwa.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
Ridzai runyanga rwehwai paKugara kwoMwedzi, uye pakuchena kwomwedzi, pazuva roMutambo wedu;
4 For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
ichi ndicho chirevo chaIsraeri, chakatarwa naMwari waJakobho.
5 He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
Akachisimbisa somutemo wakanyorwa waJosefa panguva yaakandorwa neIjipiti, uko kwatakanzwa mutauro watakanga tisinganzwisisi.
6 He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
Iye anoti, “Ndakabvisa mutoro pamapfudzi avo; maoko avo akasunungurwa padengu.
7 You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of Strife. (Pause)
Pakutambudzika kwako wakadana ini ndikakununura, ndakakupindura ndiri mugore rokutinhira; ndakakuedza pamvura zhinji yeMeribha. Sera
8 Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;
“Inzwai, imi vanhu vangu, uye ndichakuyambirai, kana mukada chete kunditeerera, imi Israeri!
9 there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.
Pakati penyu ngaparege kuva namwari wavatorwa, musapfugamira mwari wokumwe.
10 For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva munyika yeIjipiti. Shamisa muromo wako kwazvo, ndigouzadza.
11 But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
“Asi vanhu vangu havana kuda kundinzwa, Israeri haana kuda kuzviisa pasi pangu.
12 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
Saka ndakavaregera paukukutu hwemwoyo yavo, kuti vatevere mano avo.
13 If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
“Kana vanhu vangu vakada kunditeerera, kana Israeri akada kutevera nzira dzangu,
14 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
ndaikurumidza kukunda sei vavengi vavo nokurova vavengi vavo noruoko rwangu!
15 The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
Vaya vanovenga Jehovha vachatya pamberi pake, uye kurangwa kwavo kuchagara nokusingaperi.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
Asi imi muchagutswa nezviyo zvakaisvonaka; uye ndichakugutsai nouchi hunobva padombo.”
