Psalms 97
1 The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!
Jehovha anobata ushe, nyika ngaifare; zviwi zviri kure ngazvifare.
2 He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.
Makore nerima guru zvakamukomberedza; kururama nokururamisira ndidzo nheyo dzechigaro chake choushe.
3 Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.
Moto unoenda mberi kwake uchipisa vavengi vake kumativi ose.
4 His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.
Mheni yake inovhenekera pasi; nyika inozviona igodedera.
5 The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
Makomo anonyungudika senamo pamberi paJehovha, pamberi paIshe wenyika yose.
6 The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.
Kudenga denga kunoparidza kururama kwake, uye vanhu vose vanoona kubwinya kwake.
7 All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.
Vose vanonamata zvifananidzo vanonyadziswa, avo vanozvirumbidza nezvifananidzo, munamatei, imi vamwari vose!
8 Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.
Zioni rinonzwa rigofara uye misha yeJudha inofara nokuda kwezvamakatonga, imi Jehovha.
9 For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.
Nokuti imi, iyemi Jehovha, ndimi Wokumusoro-soro pasi pose; makasimudzirwa kupfuura vamwari vose.
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.
Vanoda Jehovha ngavavenge zvakaipa, nokuti anorinda upenyu kwavanhu vake vakatendeka uye anovarwira muruoko rwowakaipa.
11 Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.
Chiedza chinovhenekera pamusoro pavakarurama, nomufaro pamusoro pavane mwoyo yakarurama.
12 Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
Farai muna Jehovha, imi vakarurama, uye mukudze zita rake dzvene.
