Psalms 139
1 “To the chief musician, by David, a psalm.” O Lord! thou hast searched me through, and thou knowest [me].
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, makandinzvera uye munondiziva.
2 Thou indeed knowest my sitting down and my rising up, thou understandest my thinking while yet afar off.
Munoziva nguva yandinogara neyandinosimuka; munonzwisisa pfungwa dzangu muri kure.
3 My walking and my lying down hast thou limited, and with all my ways art thou acquainted.
Munonzvera kubuda kwangu nokuvata kwangu pasi; munoziva nzira dzangu dzose.
4 For, while there is not a word on my tongue, lo, thou, O Lord, knowest it entirely.
Shoko risati rava parurimi rwangu, tarirai, imi Jehovha, munoriziva rose.
5 Behind and before hast thou hedged me in, and thou placest upon me thy hand.
Munondikomberedza shure nemberi; makaisa ruoko rwenyu pamusoro pangu.
6 Too wonderful is such knowledge for me: it is too exalted, I cannot attain unto it.
Kuziva kwakadai kunondishamisa, kwakanyanya kukwirira zvokuti handingasvikiri.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee away from thy presence?
Ndingaendepiko kuti ndibve paMweya wenyu? Ndingatizirepiko kuti ndibve pamberi penyu?
8 If I should ascend into heaven, thou art there; and if I should make my bed in the nether world, behold, thou art there. (Sheol h7585)
Kana ndikakwira kumatenga, imi muriko; kana ndikawarira mubhedha wangu kwakadzika, imi muriko. (Sheol h7585)
9 If I should lift up the wings of the morning-dawn, if I should dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
Kana ndikasimuka namapapiro amambakwedza, kana ndikandogara kumagumo egungwa,
10 Even there would thy hand lead me, and thy right hand would seize hold of me.
kunyange ipapo ruoko rwenyu runondisesedza, ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runondimbundikira.
11 If I said, Surely darkness shall enshroud me, and into night [be turned] the light about me:
Kana ndikati, “Zvirokwazvo rima richandivanza, uye chiedza chinondikomberedza chichava usiku kwandiri,”
12 Yet even darkness can obscure nothing from thee; but the night will shine like the day; both the darkness and the light are alike [to thee].
kunyange rima haringavi rima kwamuri; usiku huchapenya samasikati, nokuti rima rakaita sechiedza kwamuri.
13 For thou possessest my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
Nokuti imi makasika zvomukatikati mangu; makandiruka ndiri mudumbu ramai vangu.
14 I will thank thee therefore, that I am [so] fearfully [and] wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Ndinokurumbidzai nokuti ndakaitwa nomutoo unotyisa uye unoshamisa; mabasa enyu anoshamisa, ndinonyatsozviziva kwazvo.
15 My being was not concealed from thee, when I was made in secret, when I was [so to say] embroidered in the lowest parts of the earth.
Mapfupa angu akanga asina kuvanzika kwamuri, pandakanga ndaiswa munzvimbo yakavanda. Pandakarukwa ndiri pakadzika penyika,
16 My undeveloped substance did thy eyes see; and in thy book were all of them written down—the days which have been formed, while yet not one of them was here.
meso enyu akaona muviri usati waumbwa. Mazuva ose andakarongerwa akanga akanyorwa mubhuku renyu, rimwe rawo risati ravapo.
17 And how precious are unto me thy thoughts, O God! how mightily great is their sum!
Mirangariro yenyu inokosha sei kwandiri, imi Mwari! Yakakura sei pakuverengwa kwayo!
18 Should I count them, they would be more numerous than the sand: I awake, and I am still with thee.
Dai ndaiverenga, ingadai yaikunda tsanga dzejecha pakuwanda. Pandinopepuka, ndinenge ndinemi.
19 If thou wouldst but slay the wicked, O God! and ye men of blood, depart from me.
Dai mukangouraya vakaipa, imi Mwari! Endai kure neni, imi vanhu vokuteura ropa!
20 Who speak of thee for a wicked end, thy enemies, that bear [thy name] for a vain purpose.
Ivo vanotaura nemi nomurangariro wakaipa; vadzivisi venyu vanoshandisa zita renyu zvakaipa.
21 Behold, those that hate thee I ever hate, O Lord; and for those that rise up against thee do I feel loathing.
Ko, ini handivengi vanokuvengai here, imi Jehovha, nokusema vaya vanokumukirai?
22 With the utmost hatred do I hate them: enemies are they become unto me.
Handina chimwe chinhu asi kuvavenga ivo; ndinovati vavengi vangu.
23 Search me through, O God, and know my heart; probe me, and know my thoughts:
Ndinzverei, imi Mwari, mugoziva mwoyo wangu; ndiedzei mugoziva kushuva kwendangariro dzangu.
24 And see if there be a way of perverseness in me, and lead me on the way of eternity.
Muone kana musina nzira yakaipa mandiri, mugondifambisa munzira isingaperi.
