Psalms 37
1 A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Usava neshungu nokuda kwavanhu vakaipa, uye usaitira godo avo vanoita zvakaipa;
2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
nokuti souswa vachaoma nokukurumidza, somuriwo wakasvibira vachakurumidza kuoma.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
Vimba naJehovha uite zvakanaka; gara panyika ufarikane pamafuro manyoro.
4 Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
Farikana muna Jehovha, uye iye achakupa zvinodikanwa nomwoyo wako.
5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
Isa nzira yako kuna Jehovha; uvimbe naye uye iye achaita izvi;
6 And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
achaita kuti kururama kwako kupenye samambakwedza, nokururamisirwa kwako sezuva ramasikati.
7 Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
Nyarara pamberi paJehovha, umurindire unyerere; usava neshungu kana vanhu vachibudirira panzira dzavo, pavanoita mano avo akaipa avakaronga.
8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
Rega kutsamwa, uzvidzore pahasha; usava neshungu zvinokutungamirira mune zvakaipa.
9 For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
Nokuti vasakarurama vachagurwa, asi avo vanomirira Jehovha vachagara nhaka yenyika.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
Chinguva chiduku duku, vakaipa havachazovapozve; kunyange ukavatsvaka, havazowanikwi.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
Asi vanyoro vachagara nhaka yenyika, uye vachafarikana norugare rukuru.
12 The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
Vakaipa vanofungira vakarurama mano akaipa, uye vanovarumanyira meno avo.
13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
Asi Ishe anoseka vakaipa nokuti anoziva kuti zuva ravo riri kuuya.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
Vakaipa vanovhomora munondo uye vanowembura uta kuti vawisire pasi varombo navanoshayiwa, kuti vauraye avo vane nzira dzakarurama.
15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
Asi minondo yavo ichabaya mwoyo yavo pachavo, uye uta hwavo huchavhunika.
16 Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
Zvishoma zvowakarurama zviri nani kupinda pfuma yavakaipa vazhinji;
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
nokuti simba ravakaipa richavhuniwa, asi Jehovha anotsigira vakarurama.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Mazuva avakarurama anozivikanwa naJehovha, uye nhaka yavo ichagara nokusingaperi.
19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:
Panguva yamatambudziko, havanganyadziswi; mumazuva enzara ivo vachava nezvakawanda.
20 Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
Asi vakaipa vachaparara: vavengi vaJehovha vachafanana norunako rweminda, vachanyangarika soutsi.
21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
Vakaipa vanokwereta uye havadzori, asi vakarurama vanopa zvakawanda;
22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.
avo vanoropafadzwa naJehovha vachagara nhaka yenyika, asi avo vaanotuka vachaparadzwa.
23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
Kana Jehovha achifarira nzira yomunhu, anosimbisa mafambiro ake;
24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
kunyange akagumburwa, haangawi, nokuti Jehovha anomutsigira noruoko rwake.
25 I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
Ndakanga ndiri muduku uye zvino ndakwegura, asi handina kumboona vakarurama vachiraswa, kana vana vavo vachipemha chingwa.
26 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
Vanogara vachingopa vamwe, uye vachikweretesa pasina muripo; vana vavo vacharopafadzwa.
27 Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
Dzoka pane zvakaipa ugoita zvakanaka; ipapo uchagara panyika nokusingaperi.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
Nokuti Jehovha anoda vanoruramisira uye haangazosiyi vanhu vake vakatendeka. Vachadzivirirwa nokusingaperi; asi vana vowakaipa vachaparadzwa;
29 But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
vakarurama vachagara nhaka yenyika uye vachagara mairi nokusingaperi.
30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak judgment.
Muromo womunhu akarurama unotaura uchenjeri, uye rurimi rwake runotaura kururamisira.
31 The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
Murayiro waMwari wake uri pamwoyo wake; tsoka dzake hadzitedzemuki.
32 The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,
Vakaipa vanovandira vakarurama, vachitsvaka upenyu hwavo chaihwo;
33 But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
asi Jehovha haangavasiyi vari musimba ravo, kana kuvarega vachipomerwa kana vamira pakutongwa.
34 Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
Rindira Jehovha, uye uchengete nzira yake. Achakusimudzira kuti ugare nhaka yenyika; kana vakaipa voparadzwa, iwe uchazviona.
35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
Ndakaona munhu akaipa uye ano utsinye achibudirira somuti wakasvibira pavhu romunyika yawo,
36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not: and I sought him and his place was not found.
asi nokukurumidza akapfuura uye akasazovapozve; kunyange ndakamutsvaka, haana kuzowanikwa.
37 Keep innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
Cherechedza asina mhosva, ongorora akarurama; ane ramangwana rakanaka munhu worugare.
38 But the unjust shall be destroyed together: the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
Asi vatadzi vose vachaparadzwa; ramangwana rowakaipa richagurwa.
39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
Ruponeso rwavakarurama runobva kuna Jehovha; ndiye nhare yavo panguva yamatambudziko.
40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
Jehovha anovabatsira uye anovanunura; anovanunura kubva kuna vakaipa uye anovaponesa, nokuti vanovanda maari.
