Psalms 81
1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema raAsafi. Imbirai Mwari nomufaro iye simba redu; danidzirai kuna Mwari waJakobho!
2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.
Vambai rwiyo, muridze tambureni, ridzai mbira dzinonakidza nomutengeranwa.
3 Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
Ridzai runyanga rwehwai paKugara kwoMwedzi, uye pakuchena kwomwedzi, pazuva roMutambo wedu;
4 For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
ichi ndicho chirevo chaIsraeri, chakatarwa naMwari waJakobho.
5 He has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.
Akachisimbisa somutemo wakanyorwa waJosefa panguva yaakandorwa neIjipiti, uko kwatakanzwa mutauro watakanga tisinganzwisisi.
6 I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.
Iye anoti, “Ndakabvisa mutoro pamapfudzi avo; maoko avo akasunungurwa padengu.
7 In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Pakutambudzika kwako wakadana ini ndikakununura, ndakakupindura ndiri mugore rokutinhira; ndakakuedza pamvura zhinji yeMeribha. Sera
8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:
“Inzwai, imi vanhu vangu, uye ndichakuyambirai, kana mukada chete kunditeerera, imi Israeri!
9 There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.
Pakati penyu ngaparege kuva namwari wavatorwa, musapfugamira mwari wokumwe.
10 I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.
Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva munyika yeIjipiti. Shamisa muromo wako kwazvo, ndigouzadza.
11 But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.
“Asi vanhu vangu havana kuda kundinzwa, Israeri haana kuda kuzviisa pasi pangu.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
Saka ndakavaregera paukukutu hwemwoyo yavo, kuti vatevere mano avo.
13 O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.
“Kana vanhu vangu vakada kunditeerera, kana Israeri akada kutevera nzira dzangu,
14 As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,
ndaikurumidza kukunda sei vavengi vavo nokurova vavengi vavo noruoko rwangu!
15 Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.
Vaya vanovenga Jehovha vachatya pamberi pake, uye kurangwa kwavo kuchagara nokusingaperi.
16 He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
Asi imi muchagutswa nezviyo zvakaisvonaka; uye ndichakugutsai nouchi hunobva padombo.”
