Psalms 35
1 [By David.] Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, kakavadzanai navanokakavadzana neni; rwisai avo vanondirwisa.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Torai nhoo huru neduku; simukai, uye uyai mundibatsire.
3 Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, "I am your salvation."
Vheyesai pfumo guru nepfumo diki murwise avo vanonditevera. Muti kumweya wangu, “Ndini ruponeso rwako.”
4 Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
Vanotsvaka kundiuraya ngavazvidzwe uye vanyadziswe; vanorangana kuparadzwa kwangu ngavadzoserwe shure vachitya.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, The LORD's angel driving them on.
Ngavaite sehundi pamberi pemhepo, mutumwa waJehovha achivasundira kure;
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, The LORD's angel pursuing them.
nzira yavo ngaisvibe uye itsvedze, mutumwa waJehovha achivateverera.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
Sezvo vakandivanzira mimbure yavo ndisina mhosva, uye vakandicherera gomba ndisina mhosva,
8 Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
kuparadzwa ngakuvawire pakarepo, mumbure wavakavanza ngauvapinge ivo, ngavawire mugomba ravo vaparare.
9 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 you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"
Zvandiri zvose zvichadanidzira zvichiti: “Ndianiko akaita semi, Jehovha? Munonunura varombo kubva kuna avo vane simba kupinda ravo.”
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I do not know about.
Zvapupu zvino utsinye zvinouya mberi; zvinondibvunza pamusoro pezvinhu zvandisingazivi.
12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving 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 afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
Asi pavairwara, ndakafuka nguo dzamasaga ndikazvininipisa nokutsanya. Munyengetero wangu pawakadzokera kwandiri usina mhinduro,
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
ndakafamba-famba ndichichema kunge ndinochemera shamwari yangu kana hama yangu. Ndakakotamisa musoro wangu ndichichema, sokunge ndinochema mai vangu.
15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.
Asi pandakagumburwa, vakaungana vachifara; varwi vakaungana kuzondirwisa ndisingazivi. Vakandireva vasingaregi.
16 When I tripped, they mocked me relentlessly; they gnashed their teeth at me.
Savanhu vasina Mwari vakandiseka muruvengo rwavo; vakandirumanyira meno avo.
17 LORD, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
Haiwa Jehovha, muchasvika riniko makangotarira? Nunurai upenyu hwangu kubva pakuparadza kwavo, noupenyu hwangu hunokosha kubva pashumba idzi.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
Ndichakuvongai paungano huru; ndichakurumbidzai pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
19 Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.
Ngavarege kufara pamusoro pangu avo vanondivenga ndisina mhosva; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva ngavarege kuchonyerana meso avo mukundivenga.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
Havatauri norugare, asi vanofunga kupomera mhosva pamusoro pavanogara norunyararo munyika.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it."
Vanondishamira miromo yavo vachiti, “Hekani waro! Hekani waro! Tazviona nameso edu.”
22 You have seen it, LORD. Do not keep silent. LORD, do not be far from me.
Haiwa Jehovha, mazviona izvi; regai kunyarara. Regai kuva kure neni, imi Ishe.
23 Wake up. Rise up to defend me, my God. My Lord, contend for me.
Mukai uye simukai mundirwire! Ndirwirei, Mwari wangu naIshe wangu.
24 Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me.
Ndiruramisirei mukururama kwenyu, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu; musarega vachifara pamusoro pangu.
25 Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. Aha. Our desire." Do not let them 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 put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who 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, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, "The LORD be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant."
Vose vanofarira kururamisirwa kwangu ngavapembere nomufaro nokufarisisa; ngavarambe vachiti, “Jehovha ngaakudzwe, iye anofarira kugara zvakanaka kwavaranda vake.”
28 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
Rurimi rwangu ruchataura zvokururama kwenyu, uye nezvokurumbidzwa kwenyu zuva rose.
