Psalms 81
1 Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema raAsafi. Imbirai Mwari nomufaro iye simba redu; danidzirai kuna Mwari waJakobho!
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
Vambai rwiyo, muridze tambureni, ridzai mbira dzinonakidza nomutengeranwa.
3 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.
Ridzai runyanga rwehwai paKugara kwoMwedzi, uye pakuchena kwomwedzi, pazuva roMutambo wedu;
4 For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
ichi ndicho chirevo chaIsraeri, chakatarwa naMwari waJakobho.
5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.
Akachisimbisa somutemo wakanyorwa waJosefa panguva yaakandorwa neIjipiti, uko kwatakanzwa mutauro watakanga tisinganzwisisi.
6 He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.
Iye anoti, “Ndakabvisa mutoro pamapfudzi avo; maoko avo akasunungurwa padengu.
7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
Pakutambudzika kwako wakadana ini ndikakununura, ndakakupindura ndiri mugore rokutinhira; ndakakuedza pamvura zhinji yeMeribha. Sera
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,
“Inzwai, imi vanhu vangu, uye ndichakuyambirai, kana mukada chete kunditeerera, imi Israeri!
9 There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
Pakati penyu ngaparege kuva namwari wavatorwa, musapfugamira mwari wokumwe.
10 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva munyika yeIjipiti. Shamisa muromo wako kwazvo, ndigouzadza.
11 But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.
“Asi vanhu vangu havana kuda kundinzwa, Israeri haana kuda kuzviisa pasi pangu.
12 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.
Saka ndakavaregera paukukutu hwemwoyo yavo, kuti vatevere mano avo.
13 If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:
“Kana vanhu vangu vakada kunditeerera, kana Israeri akada kutevera nzira dzangu,
14 I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
ndaikurumidza kukunda sei vavengi vavo nokurova vavengi vavo noruoko rwangu!
15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.
Vaya vanovenga Jehovha vachatya pamberi pake, uye kurangwa kwavo kuchagara nokusingaperi.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.
Asi imi muchagutswa nezviyo zvakaisvonaka; uye ndichakugutsai nouchi hunobva padombo.”
