Psalms 140
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndirwirei, imi Jehovha, pavanhu vakaipa; ndidzivirirei pavanhu vanoita nechisimba.
2 Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.
Ivo vanofunga urongwa hwakaipa mumwoyo yavo, uye vanomutsa hondo mazuva ose.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.
Vanorodza ndimi dzavo kuti dzipinze sedzenyoka; uturu hwenyoka yechiva huri pamiromo yavo. Sera
4 Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.
Ndichengetei, imi Jehovha, kubva mumaoko avakaipa; ndidzivirirei pavanhu vanoita nechisimba vanoronga kupinga tsoka dzangu.
5 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
Vanhu vanozvikudza vakandivanzira misungo; vakatambanudza mabote emimbure yavo uye vakateya ugombe munzira yandinofamba nayo. Sera
6 I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
Haiwa Jehovha, ndinoti kwamuri, “Ndimi Mwari wangu.” Haiwa Jehovha, inzwai kuchemera nyasha kwangu.
7 Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.
Haiwa Ishe Jehovha, imi mudzikinuri wangu ane simba, anofukidza musoro wangu pazuva rehondo,
8 O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
regai kupa vakaipa zvavanoda, imi Jehovha; musarega urongwa hwavo huchibudirira, kuti varege kuzvikudza. Sera
9 The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.
Misoro yaavo vakandipoteredza ngaifukidzwe nenhamo yakaparwa nemiromo yavo.
10 Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
Mazimbe anopfuta ngaawire pamusoro pavo; ngavakandwe mumoto, mumakomba amatope, vasambomukazve.
11 A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.
Vane makuhwa ngavarege kusimbiswa panyika; njodzi ngaivhime vanhu vanoita zvinhu nechisimba.
12 I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.
Ndinoziva kuti Jehovha akachengetera varombo kururamisirwa kwavo, uye anotsigira vanoshayiwa pamhaka dzavo.
13 So then, truly, the just will confess your name, and the upright will dwell with your countenance.
Zvirokwazvo vakarurama vacharumbidza zita renyu, uye vakarurama vachagara pamberi penyu.
