Psalms 140
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndirwirei, imi Jehovha, pavanhu vakaipa; ndidzivirirei pavanhu vanoita nechisimba.
2 Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.
Ivo vanofunga urongwa hwakaipa mumwoyo yavo, uye vanomutsa hondo mazuva ose.
3 They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. (Pause)
Vanorodza ndimi dzavo kuti dzipinze sedzenyoka; uturu hwenyoka yechiva huri pamiromo yavo. Sera
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
Ndichengetei, imi Jehovha, kubva mumaoko avakaipa; ndidzivirirei pavanhu vanoita nechisimba vanoronga kupinga tsoka dzangu.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; they set a stumbling block for me near the path. (Pause)
Vanhu vanozvikudza vakandivanzira misungo; vakatambanudza mabote emimbure yavo uye vakateya ugombe munzira yandinofamba nayo. Sera
6 I said to the Lord, You are my God; listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.
Haiwa Jehovha, ndinoti kwamuri, “Ndimi Mwari wangu.” Haiwa Jehovha, inzwai kuchemera nyasha kwangu.
7 O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.
Haiwa Ishe Jehovha, imi mudzikinuri wangu ane simba, anofukidza musoro wangu pazuva rehondo,
8 Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. (Pause)
regai kupa vakaipa zvavanoda, imi Jehovha; musarega urongwa hwavo huchibudirira, kuti varege kuzvikudza. Sera
9 [As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.
Misoro yaavo vakandipoteredza ngaifukidzwe nenhamo yakaparwa nemiromo yavo.
10 Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and you shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them].
Mazimbe anopfuta ngaawire pamusoro pavo; ngavakandwe mumoto, mumakomba amatope, vasambomukazve.
11 A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
Vane makuhwa ngavarege kusimbiswa panyika; njodzi ngaivhime vanhu vanoita zvinhu nechisimba.
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.
Ndinoziva kuti Jehovha akachengetera varombo kururamisirwa kwavo, uye anotsigira vanoshayiwa pamhaka dzavo.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
Zvirokwazvo vakarurama vacharumbidza zita renyu, uye vakarurama vachagara pamberi penyu.
