Psalms 77
1 I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Kuna Jedhutuni. Pisarema raAsafi. Ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari kuti andibatsire; ndakadana kuna Mwari kuti andinzwe.
2 Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.
Pandakanga ndiri pakutambudzika, ndakatsvaka Ishe; panguva yousiku ndakatambanudza maoko angu asinganeti, uye mweya wangu wakaramba kunyaradzwa.
3 When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
Haiwa Mwari, ndakakurangarirai, uye ndikagomera; ndakafungisisa, mweya wangu ukaziya. Sera
4 [All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.
Makakonesa meso angu kutsinzina; ndakatambudzika zvokuti ndakatadza kutaura.
5 I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.
Ndakarangarira mazuva ekare, makore ekare kare;
6 I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
ndakarangarira nziyo dzangu panguva yousiku. Mwoyo wangu wakafungisisa uye mweya wangu wakabvunza ukati,
7 “Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
“Ko, Ishe acharamba nokusingaperi here? Haachazombonzwiri ngonizve here?
8 Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
Ko, rudo rwake rusingaperi rwakabva nokusingaperi here? Chipikirwa chake chakakona nokusingaperi here? Sera
9 God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”
Ko, Mwari akanganwa kuva nenyasha here? Mukutsamwa kwake haachaitira tsiye dzake nyoro here?”
10 Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”
Ipapo ndakafunga ndikati, “Ndichakumbira hangu pane izvozvi: makore oruoko rworudyi reWokumusoro-soro.”
11 [But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
Ndicharangarira mabasa aJehovha; hongu, ndicharangarira zvishamiso zvenyu zvakare kare.
12 I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
Ndichafungisisa pamusoro pamabasa enyu ose, uye ndicharangarira mabasa enyu makuru.
13 God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
Haiwa Mwari, nzira dzenyu itsvene. Ndoupiko mwari mukuru saMwari wedu?
14 You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
Muri Mwari anoita zvishamiso; munoratidza simba renyu pakati pavanhu.
15 By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
Noruoko rwenyu rune simba, makadzikinura vanhu venyu, izvo zvizvarwa zvaJakobho naJosefa. Sera
16 [It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.
Mvura zhinji yakakuonai, imi Mwari, mvura zhinji yakakuonai ikatya; kwakadzika chaiko kwakabvunda.
17 Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
Makore akadurura mvura, kumatenga kwakaunga nokutinhira; miseve yenyu yakapenya kuno nokoko.
18 Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
Kutinhira kwenyu kwakanzwika muchamupupuri, kupenya kwenyu kwakavhenekera nyika; nyika yakadedera ikadengenyeka.
19 [Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
Gwara renyu rakapinda nomugungwa, nzira yenyu ikapinda nomumvura zhinji zhinji, kunyange zvazvo tsoka dzenyu dzakanga dzisingaonekwi.
20 You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
Makatungamirira vanhu venyu seboka ramakwai noruoko rwaMozisi naAroni.
