Psalms 10
1 Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou stand afar off? [Wherefore] hide thyself, in times of destitution?
Munomirireiko kure, imi Jehovha? Munozvivanzireiko panguva yokutambudzika?
2 In the pride of the lawless one, he hotly pursueth the poor, let them be caught in the plots which they have devised!
Pakuzvikudza kwake munhu akaipa anovhima vasina simba, vanobatwa namano okufunga kwake.
3 For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.
Anozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinopangwa nomwoyo wake; anoropafadza vanokara uye anozvidza Jehovha.
4 The lawless one, in the loftiness of his countenance, will not enquire, God is not in any of his plots:
Pakuzvikudza kwake akaipa haamutsvaki; mundangariro dzake dzose hamuna nzvimbo yaMwari.
5 His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:
Nzira dzake dzinobudirira nguva dzose; anozvikudza uye mirayiro yenyu iri kure naye; anodadira vavengi vake vose.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, —From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.
Anoti pakufunga kwake, “Hakuna chichandizungunusa; ndichagara ndakafara uye handingatongotambudziki.”
7 With cursing, his mouth is full, and with deceptions and oppression, Under his tongue, are trouble and mischief:
Muromo wake uzere nokutuka, kureva nhema, uye nokutyisidzira; matambudziko nezvakaipa zviri pasi porurimi rwake.
8 He abideth in the lurking-place of villages, In the hiding-places, he murdereth the innocent, —His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch:
Anovandira ari pedyo nemisha; pakuvandira uku anouraya vasina mhosva, ari panzvimbo yakavanzika anotarira vaachaparadza.
9 He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by 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, he lieth down, then falleth he with his strong claws upon the unfortunate.
Vabatwa vake anovapwanya, vanowa; vanowira pasi pesimba rake.
11 He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, —He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!
Anoti mumwoyo make, “Mwari akanganwa; akafukidza chiso chake uye haazoonizve.”
12 Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand, —Do not forget the patient!
Simukai, imi Jehovha! Simudzai ruoko rwenyu, imi Mwari. Regai kukanganwa vanomanikidzwa.
13 Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]!
Munhu akaipa anozvidzireiko Mwari? Seiko achiti mumwoyo make, “Haazondibvunzi?”
14 Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper.
Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, munoona kutambudzika nokusuwa; munokutarisisa kuti mukupedze. Asina simba anozviisa kwamuri; muri mubatsiri wenherera.
15 Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness—wilt thou not find [it]?
Vhunai ruoko rweakaipa nerwomunhu akaipa; ngaazvidavirire pazvakaipa zvake zvakanga zvisingazoonekwi.
16 Yahweh, is king, to times age-abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land.
Jehovha ndiye Mambo nokusingaperi-peri; ndudzi dzichaparara munyika yake.
17 The longing of the patient, thou hast heard, O Yahweh, Thou wilt establish their heart, Thou wilt make attentive thine ear:
Munonzwa henyu, imi Jehovha, zvishuvo zvavanotambura; munovakurudzira, uye munoteerera kuchema kwavo,
18 To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!
muchiruramisira nherera nevakamanikidzwa, kuti munhu wenyika, arege kuramba achingovhundutsa.
