Psalms 71
1 A Psalm of David. Of the sons of Jonadab and the former captives. In you, O Lord, I have hoped; do not let me be brought to ruin forever.
Ndinovanda mamuri, imi Jehovha; ngandirege kutongonyadziswa.
2 Free me by your justice, and rescue me. Incline your ear to me, and save me.
Ndinunurei uye mundirwire mukururama kwenyu; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri uye mundiponese.
3 Be a God of protection and a place of strength for me, so that you may accomplish my salvation. For you are my firmament and my refuge.
Ivai bako rangu rokuvanda kwandingaramba ndichienda; rayirai kuti ndiponeswe, nokuti ndimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu.
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, and from the hand of the unjust and those who act against the law.
Haiwa Mwari wangu, ndirwirei, paruoko rwowakaipa, pakubatwa navanhu vakaipa uye vane utsinye.
5 For you, O Lord, are my patience: my hope from my youth, O Lord.
Nokuti muri tariro yangu, imi Ishe Jehovha, ndakavimba nemi kubva pauduku hwangu.
6 In you, I have been confirmed from conception. From my mother’s womb, you are my protector. In you, I will sing forever.
Ndakazendamira pamuri kubva pakuberekwa kwangu; ndimi makandibudisa mudumbu ramai vangu. Ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai.
7 I have become to many as if I were a portent, but you are a strong helper.
Ndava sechishamiso kuvazhinji, asi imi muri utiziro hwangu hwakasimba.
8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, so that I may sing your glory, your greatness all day long.
Muromo wangu uzere nerumbidzo yenyu, ndinoparidza kubwinya kwenyu zuva rose.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Do not abandon me when my strength will fail.
Regai kundirasa pandinenge ndakwegura; musandisiya kana simba rangu rapera.
10 For my enemies have spoken against me. And those who watched for my soul have taken counsel as one,
Nokuti vavengi vangu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu; avo vakamirira kundiuraya vanorangana pamwe chete.
11 saying: “God has abandoned him. Pursue and overtake him. For there is no one to rescue him.”
Vanoti, “Mwari amusiya; muteverei mumubate, nokuti hakuna achamununura.”
12 O God, do not be far from me. O my God, provide for my assistance.
Regai kuva kure neni, imi Mwari; uyai nokukurumidza, imi Mwari wangu, mundibatsire.
13 May they be confounded, and may they fail, who drag down my soul. Let them be covered with confusion and shame, who seek evils for me.
Vapomeri vangu ngavaparare vanyadziswe; vaya vanoda kundikuvadza ngavafukidzwe nokusekwa nokunyadziswa.
14 But I will always have hope. And I will add more to all your praise.
Asi kana ndirini, ndichagara ndine tariro; ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai zvakanyanya.
15 My mouth will announce your justice, your salvation all day long. For I have not known letters.
Muromo wangu uchareva zvokururama kwenyu, nezvoruponeso rwenyu zuva rose, kunyange ndisingazivi chiyero charwo.
16 I will enter into the powers of the Lord. I will be mindful of your justice alone, O Lord.
Ndichauya ndichiparidza mabasa enyu makuru, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndichaparidza kururama kwenyu, iyemi moga.
17 You have taught me from my youth, O God. And so I will declare your wonders continuously,
Kubva pauduku hwangu, imi Mwari, makandidzidzisa, nanhasi uno ndinoparidza mabasa enyu anoshamisa.
18 even in old age and with grey hairs. Do not abandon me, O God, while I announce your arm to every future generation: your power
Kunyange pandinenge ndakwegura uye bvudzi rachena, musandisiya, imi Mwari, kusvikira ndaparidza simba renyu kurudzi runotevera, nesimba renyu kuna vose vari kuzouya.
19 and your justice, O God, even to the highest great things that you have done. O God, who is like you?
Kururama kwenyu kunosvika kudenga kumusoro, imi Mwari, iyemi makaita zvinhu zvikuru. Haiwa Mwari, ndiani akafanana nemi?
20 How great is the tribulation that you have revealed to me: very great and evil. And so, turning back, you have brought me to life, and you have led me back again from the abyss of the earth.
Kunyange imi makandiratidza matambudziko mazhinji uye anorwadza, muchadzosa upenyu hwangu zvakare; kubva kwakadzika kwepasi muchandibudisazve.
21 You have multiplied your magnificence. And so, turning back to me, you have consoled me.
Muchawedzera kukudzwa kwangu, uye muchandinyaradzazve.
22 Therefore, I will confess your truth to you, with the instruments of the Psalter. O God, I will sing psalms to you with stringed instruments, O Holy One of Israel.
Ndichakurumbidzai nembira nokuda kwokutendeka kwenyu, imi Mwari wangu; ndichakurumbidzai nenziyo nomutengeranwa, imi Mutsvene woga waIsraeri.
23 My lips will exult, when I sing to you, and also my soul, which you have redeemed.
Miromo yangu ichadanidzira nomufaro pandinokurumbidzai nenziyo, iyeni, wamakadzikinura.
24 And even my tongue will meditate on your justice all day long, when those who seek evils for me have been confounded and set in awe.
Rurimi rwangu ruchataura nezvamabasa enyu akarurama zuva rose, nokuti avo vaida kundikuvadza vanyadziswa uye vakanganiswa.
