Psalms 10
1 Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
Munomirireiko kure, imi Jehovha? Munozvivanzireiko panguva yokutambudzika?
2 Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
Pakuzvikudza kwake munhu akaipa anovhima vasina simba, vanobatwa namano okufunga kwake.
3 For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
Anozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinopangwa nomwoyo wake; anoropafadza vanokara uye anozvidza Jehovha.
4 The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
Pakuzvikudza kwake akaipa haamutsvaki; mundangariro dzake dzose hamuna nzvimbo yaMwari.
5 God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
Nzira dzake dzinobudirira nguva dzose; anozvikudza uye mirayiro yenyu iri kure naye; anodadira vavengi vake vose.
6 For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
Anoti pakufunga kwake, “Hakuna chichandizungunusa; ndichagara ndakafara uye handingatongotambudziki.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
Muromo wake uzere nokutuka, kureva nhema, uye nokutyisidzira; matambudziko nezvakaipa zviri pasi porurimi rwake.
8 He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
Anovandira ari pedyo nemisha; pakuvandira uku anouraya vasina mhosva, ari panzvimbo yakavanzika anotarira vaachaparadza.
9 His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
Anovandira seshumba iri panzvimbo yayo; anovandira kuti abate vasina anovabatsira; anobata vasina anobatsira uye anovakweva achienda navo mumumbure wake.
10 In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
Vabatwa vake anovapwanya, vanowa; vanowira pasi pesimba rake.
11 For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
Anoti mumwoyo make, “Mwari akanganwa; akafukidza chiso chake uye haazoonizve.”
12 Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
Simukai, imi Jehovha! Simudzai ruoko rwenyu, imi Mwari. Regai kukanganwa vanomanikidzwa.
13 Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
Munhu akaipa anozvidzireiko Mwari? Seiko achiti mumwoyo make, “Haazondibvunzi?”
14 Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, munoona kutambudzika nokusuwa; munokutarisisa kuti mukupedze. Asina simba anozviisa kwamuri; muri mubatsiri wenherera.
15 Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
Vhunai ruoko rweakaipa nerwomunhu akaipa; ngaazvidavirire pazvakaipa zvake zvakanga zvisingazoonekwi.
16 The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
Jehovha ndiye Mambo nokusingaperi-peri; ndudzi dzichaparara munyika yake.
17 The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
Munonzwa henyu, imi Jehovha, zvishuvo zvavanotambura; munovakurudzira, uye munoteerera kuchema kwavo,
18 To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
muchiruramisira nherera nevakamanikidzwa, kuti munhu wenyika, arege kuramba achingovhundutsa.
