Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, kakavadzanai navanokakavadzana neni; rwisai avo vanondirwisa.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
Torai nhoo huru neduku; simukai, uye uyai mundibatsire.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
Vheyesai pfumo guru nepfumo diki murwise avo vanonditevera. Muti kumweya wangu, “Ndini ruponeso rwako.”
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
Vanotsvaka kundiuraya ngavazvidzwe uye vanyadziswe; vanorangana kuparadzwa kwangu ngavadzoserwe shure vachitya.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them].
Ngavaite sehundi pamberi pemhepo, mutumwa waJehovha achivasundira kure;
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
nzira yavo ngaisvibe uye itsvedze, mutumwa waJehovha achivateverera.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.
Sezvo vakandivanzira mimbure yavo ndisina mhosva, uye vakandicherera gomba ndisina mhosva,
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
kuparadzwa ngakuvawire pakarepo, mumbure wavakavanza ngauvapinge ivo, ngavawire mugomba ravo vaparare.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Ipapo mweya wangu uchafara muna Jehovha, uye uchafarira ruponeso rwake.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
Zvandiri zvose zvichadanidzira zvichiti: “Ndianiko akaita semi, Jehovha? Munonunura varombo kubva kuna avo vane simba kupinda ravo.”
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not.
Zvapupu zvino utsinye zvinouya mberi; zvinondibvunza pamusoro pezvinhu zvandisingazivi.
12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul.
Vanotsiva zvakanaka zvangu nezvakaipa, uye vanosiya mweya wangu uchidzungaira.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Asi pavairwara, ndakafuka nguo dzamasaga ndikazvininipisa nokutsanya. Munyengetero wangu pawakadzokera kwandiri usina mhinduro,
14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or] brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother.
ndakafamba-famba ndichichema kunge ndinochemera shamwari yangu kana hama yangu. Ndakakotamisa musoro wangu ndichichema, sokunge ndinochema mai vangu.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: [yea], the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
Asi pandakagumburwa, vakaungana vachifara; varwi vakaungana kuzondirwisa ndisingazivi. Vakandireva vasingaregi.
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Savanhu vasina Mwari vakandiseka muruvengo rwavo; vakandirumanyira meno avo.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
Haiwa Jehovha, muchasvika riniko makangotarira? Nunurai upenyu hwangu kubva pakuparadza kwavo, noupenyu hwangu hunokosha kubva pashumba idzi.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
Ndichakuvongai paungano huru; ndichakurumbidzai pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Ngavarege kufara pamusoro pangu avo vanondivenga ndisina mhosva; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva ngavarege kuchonyerana meso avo mukundivenga.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.
Havatauri norugare, asi vanofunga kupomera mhosva pamusoro pavanogara norunyararo munyika.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].
Vanondishamira miromo yavo vachiti, “Hekani waro! Hekani waro! Tazviona nameso edu.”
22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
Haiwa Jehovha, mazviona izvi; regai kunyarara. Regai kuva kure neni, imi Ishe.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Mukai uye simukai mundirwire! Ndirwirei, Mwari wangu naIshe wangu.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Ndiruramisirei mukururama kwenyu, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu; musarega vachifara pamusoro pangu.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Musarega vachifunga mumwoyo mavo vachiti, “Hekani waro, ndizvo zvatanga tichida!” kana kuti vati, “Tamumedza chose.”
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me.
Vose vanofarira kutambudzika kwangu ngavanyadziswe uye vanyonganiswe; vose vanozvisimudzira pamusoro pangu ngavafukidzwe nenyadzi nokuzvidzwa.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Vose vanofarira kururamisirwa kwangu ngavapembere nomufaro nokufarisisa; ngavarambe vachiti, “Jehovha ngaakudzwe, iye anofarira kugara zvakanaka kwavaranda vake.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long.
Rurimi rwangu ruchataura zvokururama kwenyu, uye nezvokurumbidzwa kwenyu zuva rose.
