Psalms 10
1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
Munomirireiko kure, imi Jehovha? Munozvivanzireiko panguva yokutambudzika?
2 Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them.
Pakuzvikudza kwake munhu akaipa anovhima vasina simba, vanobatwa namano okufunga kwake.
3 The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah.
Anozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinopangwa nomwoyo wake; anoropafadza vanokara uye anozvidza Jehovha.
4 The wicked [[saith]] in his haughtiness, “He careth not!” All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
Pakuzvikudza kwake akaipa haamutsvaki; mundangariro dzake dzose hamuna nzvimbo yaMwari.
5 His course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
Nzira dzake dzinobudirira nguva dzose; anozvikudza uye mirayiro yenyu iri kure naye; anodadira vavengi vake vose.
6 He saith in his heart, “I shall never fall; I shall never be in adversity.”
Anoti pakufunga kwake, “Hakuna chichandizungunusa; ndichagara ndakafara uye handingatongotambudziki.”
7 His mouth is full of perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue.
Muromo wake uzere nokutuka, kureva nhema, uye nokutyisidzira; matambudziko nezvakaipa zviri pasi porurimi rwake.
8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed upon the poor.
Anovandira ari pedyo nemisha; pakuvandira uku anouraya vasina mhosva, ari panzvimbo yakavanzika anotarira vaachaparadza.
9 He secretly lieth in wait, like a lion in a thicket; He lieth in wait to seize upon the helpless; He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
Anovandira seshumba iri panzvimbo yayo; anovandira kuti abate vasina anovabatsira; anobata vasina anobatsira uye anovakweva achienda navo mumumbure wake.
10 He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws.
Vabatwa vake anovapwanya, vanowa; vanowira pasi pesimba rake.
11 He saith in his heart, “God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth never see it.”
Anoti mumwoyo make, “Mwari akanganwa; akafukidza chiso chake uye haazoonizve.”
12 Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the distressed!
Simukai, imi Jehovha! Simudzai ruoko rwenyu, imi Mwari. Regai kukanganwa vanomanikidzwa.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, “He careth not for it”?
Munhu akaipa anozvidzireiko Mwari? Seiko achiti mumwoyo make, “Haazondibvunzi?”
14 Thou dost see it; yea, thou beholdest malice and oppression, And markest it upon thy hand! The poor committeth himself to thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless.
Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, munoona kutambudzika nokusuwa; munokutarisisa kuti mukupedze. Asina simba anozviisa kwamuri; muri mubatsiri wenherera.
15 Break thou the arm of the unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none!
Vhunai ruoko rweakaipa nerwomunhu akaipa; ngaazvidavirire pazvakaipa zvake zvakanga zvisingazoonekwi.
16 Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land.
Jehovha ndiye Mambo nokusingaperi-peri; ndudzi dzichaparara munyika yake.
17 Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear!
Munonzwa henyu, imi Jehovha, zvishuvo zvavanotambura; munovakurudzira, uye munoteerera kuchema kwavo,
18 Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land.
muchiruramisira nherera nevakamanikidzwa, kuti munhu wenyika, arege kuramba achingovhundutsa.
