< Izililo 5 >
1 Khumbula, Nkosi, ukuthi kwenzakaleni kithi; khangela, ubone ihlazo lethu.
Rangarirai Jehovha, zvakatiwira; tarirai, mugoona kunyadziswa kwedu.
2 Ilifa lethu seliphendulelwe kwabezizwe, izindlu zethu kwabemzini.
Nhaka yedu yakapiwa kuvatorwa, misha yedu kumabvakure.
3 Siyizintandane, kungelababa; omama banjengabafelokazi.
Tava nherera, hatina vabereki, vanamai vedu sechirikadzi.
4 Amanzi ethu siwanathile ngemali; inkuni zethu ziza ngentengo.
Tinofanira kutenga mvura yatinonwa; huni dzedu dzinongowanikwa chete nomutengo.
5 Sizingelwa ezintanyeni zethu, sidiniwe, kasilakuphumula.
Avo vanotidzinganisa vari pedyo pedyo; taneta uye hatina zororo.
6 Sinike isandla sethu kwabeGibhithe, labeAsiriya, ukuze sisuthiswe ngesinkwa.
Takazviisa pasi peIjipiti neAsiria, kuti tiwane chingwa chakakwana.
7 Obaba bona, kabasekho, njalo thina sithwele iziphambeko zabo.
Madzibaba edu akatadza uye vakafa, uye tava kurangwa nokuda kwavo.
8 Izigqili ziyasibusa, kakho ongasihluthuna esandleni sazo.
Varanda vanotitonga, uye hapana angatisunungura kubva pamaoko avo.
9 Sizuza isinkwa sethu ngengozi yempilo yethu, ngenxa yenkemba yenkangala.
Tinowana chingwa chedu nokuisa upenyu hwedu munjodzi, nokuda kwomunondo murenje.
10 Ijwabu lethu limnyama njengeziko ngenxa yokutshisa okukhulu kwendlala.
Ganda redu rava kupisa sechoto, nokuda kwokupisa kwenzara.
11 Badlova abesifazana eZiyoni, izintombi ezimsulwa emizini yakoJuda.
Vakachinya vakadzi muZioni, mhandara, mumaguta eJudha.
12 Iziphathamandla zaphanyekwa ngesandla sazo; ubuso babadala kabuhlonitshwanga.
Machinda akasungirirwa namaoko avo; vakuru havakudzwi.
13 Amajaha athwala amatshe okuchola, labafana bakhubeka ngaphansi kwenkuni.
Majaya anoshanda paguyo; vakomana vanotatarika vakatakura mitoro yehuni.
14 Abadala baphelile esangweni, amajaha ekuhlabeleleni.
Vakuru vakabva pasuo reguta; majaya akarega kuimba kwavo.
15 Intokozo yenhliziyo yethu iphelile, ukugida kwethu kwaphenduka ukulila.
Mufaro mumwoyo medu waguma; kutamba kwedu kwapinduka kukava kuchema.
16 Umqhele wekhanda lethu uwile; hawu, maye kithi, ngoba sonile!
Korona yawa kubva pamusoro wedu. Tine nhamo isu, nokuti takatadza!
17 Ngenxa yalokhu inhliziyo yethu iphela amandla; ngenxa yalezizinto amehlo ethu afiphele.
Nokuda kwaizvozvi mwoyo yedu yapera simba, nokuda kwezvinhu izvi meso edu otadza kuona,
18 Ngenxa yentaba yeZiyoni elunxiwa, amakhanka ahamba phezu kwayo.
nokuti Gomo reZioni rava dongo, makava ofambamo.
19 Wena, Nkosi, uhlezi kuze kube nininini, isihlalo sakho sobukhosi sisuka esizukulwaneni sisiya esizukulwaneni.
Imi Jehovha, munotonga nokusingaperi; chigaro chenyu choushe chiripo kuzvizvarwa zvose.
20 Usikhohlweleni njalonjalo, usidela okobude bezinsuku?
Sei muchigara muchitikanganwa? Sei muchitikanganwa kwenguva yakareba kudai?
21 Siphendulele kuwe, Nkosi, sizaphenduka; yenza insuku zethu zibe zintsha njengasendulo.
Tidzoserei kwamuri, Jehovha, kuti tigodzoka; vandudzai mazuva edu senguva yekare,
22 Kodwa ususilahlile isibili; usithukuthelele kakhulukazi.
kana musina kutiramba zvachose kana kutitsamwira zvikuru kwazvo.
