< Psalms 41 >
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Akaropafadzwa uyo ane hanya navasina simba; Jehovha anomurwira panguva dzokutambudzika.
2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
Jehovha achamudzivirira uye achachengetedza upenyu hwake; achamuropafadza panyika uye haangamuisi kuchido chavavengi vake.
3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
Jehovha achamuraramisa panhoo yake yourwere uye achamuponesa panhoo yake yourwere.
4 I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'
Ini ndakati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni; ndiporesei, nokuti ndakakutadzirai.”
5 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
Vavengi vangu vachindigodora vanoti, “Achafa riniko uye zita rake rigoparara?”
6 And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
Kana mumwe achiuya kuzondiona, anotaura zvenhema, mwoyo uchiunganidza makuhwa; ipapo anobuda ondozviparadzira kumwe.
7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
Vavengi vangu vose vanoita zevezeve pamwe chete pamusoro pangu; vanondifungira zvakaipisisa, vachiti,
8 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
“Chirwere chakaipa chakamubata, haachambomukizve panzvimbo paakarara.”
9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
Kunyange neshamwari yangu yapedyo yandaivimba nayo, yandaigovana zvokudya nayo, yandisimudzira chitsitsinho chayo.
10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, mune tsitsi neni, ndisimudzei, kuti ndivatsive.
11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
Ndinoziva kuti munofadzwa neni, nokuti muvengi wangu haandikundi.
12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
Munonditsigira pakutendeka kwangu, uye munondiisa pamberi penyu nokusingaperi.
13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
Kurumbidzwa ngakuve kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira nokusingaperi.
