2 Samuel 22
1 David sang the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord saved him from all his enemies, and from Saul.
Dhavhidhi akaimbira Jehovha mashoko orwiyo urwu paakarwirwa naJehovha kubva muruoko rwavavengi vake vose nomuruoko rwaSauro.
2 He sang: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my Savior.
Akati: “Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu uye mununuri wangu;
3 He is my God, my rock who protects me. He shields me from harm, his power saves me, he keeps me safe. He is my protector; he is my savior; he saves me from violence.
Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, ndinovanda maari, nhoo yangu, norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu. Ndiye nhare yangu, utiziro hwangu nomuponesi wangu, munondiponesa pavanhu vanoita nechisimba.
4 I call for help from the Lord, who should be praised, and he saves me from those who hate me.
Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye anofanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu.
5 The waves of death swept over me; surging waters of destruction flooded over me;
“Mafungu orufu akandikomba; mvura zhinji yokuparadza yakandifukidza.
Mabote eguva akandimonera; misungo yorufu yakandivinga. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my despair I called on the Lord; I called out to my God. He heard my voice from his Temple; my cry for help reached his ears.
Mukutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari wangu. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika munzeve dzake.
8 The earth shook to and fro; the foundations of the heavens trembled, shaking because of his anger.
“Nyika yakadedera uye ikazungunuka, nheyo dzokudenga dzakadengenyeka; dzakadedera nokuti akanga atsamwa.
9 Smoke came out of his nostrils, and fire from his mouth, burning coals that blazed before him.
Utsi hwakakwira kubva mumhino dzake; moto unoparadza wakabuda mumuromo make, mazimbe anopisa akapfutamo.
10 He pushed aside the heavens and came down, with dark clouds beneath his feet.
Akakamura matenga akaburuka pasi; makore erima akanga ari pasi petsoka dzake.
11 Riding on a heavenly being he flew, swooping on the wings of the wind.
Akatasva makerubhi akabhururuka; akabhururuka mudenga denga pamapapiro emhepo.
12 He hid himself in darkness, covering himself with black rainclouds.
Akaita kuti rima rimupoteredze setende, iwo makore matema emvura yokudenga.
13 Burning coals blazed out of his brightness.
Kubva pakupenya kwokuvapo kwake mabhananʼana emheni akapenya.
14 The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
Jehovha akatinhira ari kudenga; inzwi reWokumusoro-soro rakanzwikazve.
15 He fired his arrows, scattering his enemies, he routed them with his lightning bolts.
Akapfura miseve akaparadzira vavengi, mabhananʼana emheni akavaparadza.
16 The Lord roared, and by the wind from the breath of his nostrils the valleys of the sea could be seen and the foundations of the earth were uncovered.
Mipata yegungwa yakaiswa pachena uye nheyo dzenyika dzakabudiswa pachena nokutuka kwaJehovha, nokufema kwomweya wemhino dzake.
17 He reached down his hand from above and grabbed hold of me. He dragged me out of the deep water.
“Akatambanudza ruoko ari kudenga akandibata; akandibudisa kubva pamvura yakadzika.
18 He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and who were much stronger than me.
Akandinunura kubva pamuvengi wangu ane simba, kubva kuvavengi, vakanga vachindikurira pasimba.
19 They came at me at my worst possible moment, but the Lord supported me.
Vakandivinga muzuva renjodzi yangu, asi Jehovha akanga ari mutsigiri wangu.
20 He set me free, he rescued me because he's happy with me.
Akandibudisira kunzvimbo yakafarikana; akandinunura nokuti akanga achindifarira.
21 The Lord rewarded me because I do what's right; he repaid me because I am innocent.
“Jehovha akandiitira zviri maererano nokururama kwangu; maererano nokuchena kwamaoko angu, akandipa mubayiro.
22 For I have followed the Lord's ways; I have not sinned by turning away from my God.
Nokuti ndakachengeta nzira dzaJehovha; handina kuita chakaipa ndichitsauka kubva kuna Mwari wangu.
23 I have kept all his laws in mind; I have not ignored his commandments.
Mirayiro yake yose iri pamberi pangu; handina kutsauka kubva pamitemo yake.
24 I am blameless in his sight; I keep myself from sinning.
Ndakanga ndisina chandinopomerwa pamberi pake, uye ndakazvichengeta kuti ndirege kutadza.
25 The Lord rewarded me for doing what's right. I am innocent in his sight.
Jehovha akandipa mubayiro maererano nokururama kwangu, maererano nokuchema kwangu pamberi pake.
26 You show trust to those who are trusting; you show integrity to those with integrity,
“Kune vakatendeka munoratidza kutendeka kwenyu, kune vasina chavanopomerwa munoratidza kusapomerwa kwenyu,
27 You show yourself pure to those who are pure, but you show yourself astute to those who are crafty.
kune vakachena munozviratidza makachena, asi kune vasakarurama munozviratidza nehasha.
28 You save the humble, but your eyes watch the proud to bring them down.
Munoponesa vanozvininipisa, asi meso enyu ari pamusoro pavanozvikudza kuti muvaderedze.
29 You, Lord, are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness.
Imi muri mwenje wangu, Jehovha; Jehovha anoshandura rima rangu kuti rive chiedza.
30 With you, I can charge down a troop of soldiers; with you, my God, I can climb a fortress wall.
Norubatsiro rwenyu ndinogona kuenda kundorwa neboka ravarwi; naMwari wangu ndinogona kukwira rusvingo.
31 God's way is absolutely right. What the Lord says is trustworthy. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.
“Kana ari Mwari, nzira yake yakarurama kwazvo; shoko raJehovha harina charingapomerwa. Ndiye nhoo yavose vanovanda maari.
32 For who is God except the Lord? Who is a Rock, except our God?
Nokuti ndianiko Mwari kunze kwaJehovha? Uye ndianiko Dombo kunze kwaMwari wedu?
33 God makes me strong and keeps me safe.
NdiMwari anondishongedza nesimba uye anoruramisa nzira yangu.
34 He makes me surefooted like the deer, able to walk the heights in safety.
Anoita tsoka dzangu kuti dzive setsoka dzenondo; anoita kuti ndigone kumira pakakwirira.
35 He teaches me how to fight in battle; he gives me the strength to draw a bronze bow.
Anodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa; maoko angu anowembura uta hwendarira.
36 You protect me with the shield of your salvation; your help has made me great.
Munondipa nhoo yenyu yokukunda, munokotamira pasi kuti mundikurise.
37 You gave me room to walk, and prevented my feet from slipping.
Munotambanudza nzira pasi pangu, kuitira kuti zvitsitsinho zvangu zvirege kutsauka.
38 I chased my enemies, and caught up with them. I did not turn around until I had destroyed them.
“Ndakatevera vavengi vangu ndikavaparadza; handina kudzoka kusvikira vaparadzwa.
39 I struck them down—they couldn't get up. They fell at my feet.
Ndakavaparadza zvachose, uye havana kugona kumuka; vakawira pasi petsoka dzangu.
40 You made me strong for the battle; you made those who rose up against me kneel low before me.
Makandishongedza nesimba rokurwa; makaita kuti vadzivisi vangu vakotame patsoka dzangu.
41 You made my enemies run away; I destroyed all my enemies.
Makaita kuti vavengi vangu vatize pakurwa, uye ndakaparadza vavengi vangu.
42 They cried out for help, but no one came to rescue them. They even called out to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
Vakachemera kubatsirwa, asi hakuna munhu akavaponesa, kunyange kuna Jehovha, asi haana kupindura.
43 I ground them into dust, like the dust of the earth. I crushed them and threw them out like mud in the street.
Ndakavapwanya vakatsetseka seguruva renyika; ndakavatswa uye ndikavatsika sedope riri munzira dzomumusha.
44 You rescued me from rebellious people; you have kept me as ruler over nations—people I didn't know now serve me.
“Makandinunura kubva pakurwisa kwavanhu vangu; makandichengetedza somutungamiri wendudzi. Vanhu vandakanga ndisingazivi vava pasi pangu.
45 Foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey.
Uye vatorwa vanouya kwandiri vachidedera, pavanongondinzwa vanonditeerera.
46 They lose heart, and come trembling in surrender from their strongholds.
Vose vanoora mwoyo; vanouya vachidedera kubva panhare dzavo.
47 The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! May the God who saves me be praised!
“Jehovha mupenyu! Dombo rangu ngarirumbidzwe! Ngaakudzwe Mwari, iye Dombo, Muponesi wangu!
48 God avenges me, he puts peoples under me,
Ndiye Mwari anonditsivira, anoisa ndudzi pasi pangu,
49 He frees me from those who hate me. You keep me safe from those who rebel against me, you save me from violent men.
anondisunungura kubva kuvavengi vangu. Imi makandikudza pamusoro pavavengi vangu; kubva kuvanhu vanoita nechisimba, makandinunura.
50 That's why I will praise you among the nations, Lord; I will sing praises about who you are.
Naizvozvo ndichakurumbidzai, imi Jehovha, pakati pendudzi; ndicharumbidza zita renyu nenziyo.
51 You have saved the king so often, showing your trustworthy love to David, your anointed, and to his descendants forever.”
“Iye anopa mambo wake kukunda kukuru; anoratidza unyoro hwake kumuzodziwa wake, kuna Dhavhidhi nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi.”
