< Psalms 90 >

1 A prayer of Moses the man of God. LORD, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
Munyengetero waMozisi munhu waMwari. Jehovha, imi makava ugaro hwedu kuzvizvarwa zvose.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God.
Makomo asati azvarwa uye musati mabudisa nyika nepasi rose, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi muri Mwari.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
Munodzosera vanhu kuguruva zvakare, muchiti, “Dzokerai kuguruva, imi vanakomana vavanhu.”
4 For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
Nokuti pamberi penyu makore chiuru akangofanana nezuva richangopfuura, kana senguva yokurinda usiku.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep; in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth.
Munokukura vanhu pakuvata kworufu; vakaita sebundo idzva ramangwanani,
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
kunyange richimera riri idzva mangwanani, nenguva yamadekwana rinenge raoma uye rasvava.
7 For we are consumed by thy anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Tapera nokutsamwa kwenyu uye tinovhundutswa nehasha dzenyu.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.
Makaisa zvakaipa zvedu pamberi penyu, makaisa zvivi zvedu zvakavanzika muchiedza chokuvapo kwenyu.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years, as a tale [that is told].
Mazuva edu ose anopfuura napasi pehasha dzenyu; tinopedza makore edu nokuchema.
10 The days of our years [are] seventy years; and if by reason of strength [they are] eighty years, yet [is] their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Uwandu hwamazuva edu hunosvika makore makumi manomwe, kana makumi masere, kana tiine simba; kunyange zvakadaro uwandu hwawo hunongova nhamo nokusuwa, nokuti anokurumidza kupfuura, uye isu tobhururuka toenda.
11 Who knoweth the power of thy anger? even according to thy fear, [so is] thy wrath.
Ndianiko anoziva simba rokutsamwa kwenyu? Nokuti hasha dzenyu dzakakura sokutyiwa kwakakufanirai imi.
12 So teach [us] to number [our] days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
Tidzidzisei kuverenga mazuva edu zvakanaka, kuti tiwane mwoyo wouchenjeri.
13 Return, O LORD, how long? and repent thou concerning thy servants.
Dzokai, imi Jehovha! Zvichadaro kusvikira riniko? Ivai netsitsi pamusoro pavaranda venyu.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Tigutsei mangwanani norudo rwenyu rusingaperi, kuti tigoimba nomufaro tigofara mazuva edu ose.
15 Make us glad according to the days [in which] thou hast afflicted us, [and] the years [in which] we have seen evil.
Tifadzei zvinoenzana namazuva amakatitambudza, samakore mazhinji atakaona nhamo.
16 Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory to their children.
Mabasa enyu ngaaratidzwe kuvaranda venyu, nokubwinya kwenyu kuvana vavo.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yes, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Nyasha dzaIshe Mwari wedu ngadzive pamusoro pedu; tisimbisirei mabasa amaoko edu, hongu, simbisai basa ramaoko edu.
