Psalms 71
1 In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.
Ndinovanda mamuri, imi Jehovha; ngandirege kutongonyadziswa.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
Ndinunurei uye mundirwire mukururama kwenyu; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri uye mundiponese.
3 Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Ivai bako rangu rokuvanda kwandingaramba ndichienda; rayirai kuti ndiponeswe, nokuti ndimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu.
4 My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Haiwa Mwari wangu, ndirwirei, paruoko rwowakaipa, pakubatwa navanhu vakaipa uye vane utsinye.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.
Nokuti muri tariro yangu, imi Ishe Jehovha, ndakavimba nemi kubva pauduku hwangu.
6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.
Ndakazendamira pamuri kubva pakuberekwa kwangu; ndimi makandibudisa mudumbu ramai vangu. Ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai.
7 I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
Ndava sechishamiso kuvazhinji, asi imi muri utiziro hwangu hwakasimba.
8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.
Muromo wangu uzere nerumbidzo yenyu, ndinoparidza kubwinya kwenyu zuva rose.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Regai kundirasa pandinenge ndakwegura; musandisiya kana simba rangu rapera.
10 For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,
Nokuti vavengi vangu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu; avo vakamirira kundiuraya vanorangana pamwe chete.
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.
Vanoti, “Mwari amusiya; muteverei mumubate, nokuti hakuna achamununura.”
12 O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help.
Regai kuva kure neni, imi Mwari; uyai nokukurumidza, imi Mwari wangu, mundibatsire.
13 Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
Vapomeri vangu ngavaparare vanyadziswe; vaya vanoda kundikuvadza ngavafukidzwe nokusekwa nokunyadziswa.
14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
Asi kana ndirini, ndichagara ndine tariro; ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai zvakanyanya.
15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].
Muromo wangu uchareva zvokururama kwenyu, nezvoruponeso rwenyu zuva rose, kunyange ndisingazivi chiyero charwo.
16 I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.
Ndichauya ndichiparidza mabasa enyu makuru, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndichaparidza kururama kwenyu, iyemi moga.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:
Kubva pauduku hwangu, imi Mwari, makandidzidzisa, nanhasi uno ndinoparidza mabasa enyu anoshamisa.
18 Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.
Kunyange pandinenge ndakwegura uye bvudzi rachena, musandisiya, imi Mwari, kusvikira ndaparidza simba renyu kurudzi runotevera, nesimba renyu kuna vose vari kuzouya.
19 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?
Kururama kwenyu kunosvika kudenga kumusoro, imi Mwari, iyemi makaita zvinhu zvikuru. Haiwa Mwari, ndiani akafanana nemi?
20 Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;
Kunyange imi makandiratidza matambudziko mazhinji uye anorwadza, muchadzosa upenyu hwangu zvakare; kubva kwakadzika kwepasi muchandibudisazve.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Muchawedzera kukudzwa kwangu, uye muchandinyaradzazve.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.
Ndichakurumbidzai nembira nokuda kwokutendeka kwenyu, imi Mwari wangu; ndichakurumbidzai nenziyo nomutengeranwa, imi Mutsvene woga waIsraeri.
23 My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Miromo yangu ichadanidzira nomufaro pandinokurumbidzai nenziyo, iyeni, wamakadzikinura.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.
Rurimi rwangu ruchataura nezvamabasa enyu akarurama zuva rose, nokuti avo vaida kundikuvadza vanyadziswa uye vakanganiswa.
