2 Samueri 22
1 Dhavhidhi akaimbira Jehovha mashoko orwiyo urwu paakarwirwa naJehovha kubva muruoko rwavavengi vake vose nomuruoko rwaSauro.
And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul:
2 Akati: “Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu uye mununuri wangu;
And he said, The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, ndinovanda maari, nhoo yangu, norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu. Ndiye nhare yangu, utiziro hwangu nomuponesi wangu, munondiponesa pavanhu vanoita nechisimba.
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: [he is] my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my preserver; thou savest me from violence.
4 Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye anofanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu.
I will call on the LORD, [who is] worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 “Mafungu orufu akandikomba; mvura zhinji yokuparadza yakandifukidza.
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly-men made me afraid;
The sorrows of hell encompassed me; the snares of death seized me; (Sheol h7585)
7 Mukutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari wangu. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika munzeve dzake.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry [entered] into his ears.
8 “Nyika yakadedera uye ikazungunuka, nheyo dzokudenga dzakadengenyeka; dzakadedera nokuti akanga atsamwa.
Then the earth shook and trembled: the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 Utsi hwakakwira kubva mumhino dzake; moto unoparadza wakabuda mumuromo make, mazimbe anopisa akapfutamo.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 Akakamura matenga akaburuka pasi; makore erima akanga ari pasi petsoka dzake.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness [was] under his feet.
11 Akatasva makerubhi akabhururuka; akabhururuka mudenga denga pamapapiro emhepo.
And he rode upon a cherub, and flew: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 Akaita kuti rima rimupoteredze setende, iwo makore matema emvura yokudenga.
And he made darkness pavilions around him, dark waters, [and] thick clouds of the skies.
13 Kubva pakupenya kwokuvapo kwake mabhananʼana emheni akapenya.
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 Jehovha akatinhira ari kudenga; inzwi reWokumusoro-soro rakanzwikazve.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 Akapfura miseve akaparadzira vavengi, mabhananʼana emheni akavaparadza.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 Mipata yegungwa yakaiswa pachena uye nheyo dzenyika dzakabudiswa pachena nokutuka kwaJehovha, nokufema kwomweya wemhino dzake.
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid open, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 “Akatambanudza ruoko ari kudenga akandibata; akandibudisa kubva pamvura yakadzika.
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18 Akandinunura kubva pamuvengi wangu ane simba, kubva kuvavengi, vakanga vachindikurira pasimba.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 Vakandivinga muzuva renjodzi yangu, asi Jehovha akanga ari mutsigiri wangu.
They fell upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my support.
20 Akandibudisira kunzvimbo yakafarikana; akandinunura nokuti akanga achindifarira.
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 “Jehovha akandiitira zviri maererano nokururama kwangu; maererano nokuchena kwamaoko angu, akandipa mubayiro.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 Nokuti ndakachengeta nzira dzaJehovha; handina kuita chakaipa ndichitsauka kubva kuna Mwari wangu.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Mirayiro yake yose iri pamberi pangu; handina kutsauka kubva pamitemo yake.
For all his judgments [were] before me: and [as for] his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 Ndakanga ndisina chandinopomerwa pamberi pake, uye ndakazvichengeta kuti ndirege kutadza.
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Jehovha akandipa mubayiro maererano nokururama kwangu, maererano nokuchema kwangu pamberi pake.
Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye-sight.
26 “Kune vakatendeka munoratidza kutendeka kwenyu, kune vasina chavanopomerwa munoratidza kusapomerwa kwenyu,
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, [and] with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.
27 kune vakachena munozviratidza makachena, asi kune vasakarurama munozviratidza nehasha.
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
28 Munoponesa vanozvininipisa, asi meso enyu ari pamusoro pavanozvikudza kuti muvaderedze.
And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thy eyes [are] upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.
29 Imi muri mwenje wangu, Jehovha; Jehovha anoshandura rima rangu kuti rive chiedza.
For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 Norubatsiro rwenyu ndinogona kuenda kundorwa neboka ravarwi; naMwari wangu ndinogona kukwira rusvingo.
For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 “Kana ari Mwari, nzira yake yakarurama kwazvo; shoko raJehovha harina charingapomerwa. Ndiye nhoo yavose vanovanda maari.
[As for] God, his way [is] perfect; the word of the LORD [is] tried: he [is] a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 Nokuti ndianiko Mwari kunze kwaJehovha? Uye ndianiko Dombo kunze kwaMwari wedu?
For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock, save our God?
33 NdiMwari anondishongedza nesimba uye anoruramisa nzira yangu.
God [is] my strength [and] power: and he maketh my way perfect.
34 Anoita tsoka dzangu kuti dzive setsoka dzenondo; anoita kuti ndigone kumira pakakwirira.
He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet]: and setteth me upon my high places.
35 Anodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa; maoko angu anowembura uta hwendarira.
He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 Munondipa nhoo yenyu yokukunda, munokotamira pasi kuti mundikurise.
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37 Munotambanudza nzira pasi pangu, kuitira kuti zvitsitsinho zvangu zvirege kutsauka.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet have not slipped.
38 “Ndakatevera vavengi vangu ndikavaparadza; handina kudzoka kusvikira vaparadzwa.
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 Ndakavaparadza zvachose, uye havana kugona kumuka; vakawira pasi petsoka dzangu.
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they have fallen under my feet.
40 Makandishongedza nesimba rokurwa; makaita kuti vadzivisi vangu vakotame patsoka dzangu.
For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41 Makaita kuti vavengi vangu vatize pakurwa, uye ndakaparadza vavengi vangu.
Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 Vakachemera kubatsirwa, asi hakuna munhu akavaponesa, kunyange kuna Jehovha, asi haana kupindura.
They looked, but [there was] none to save; [even] to the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Ndakavapwanya vakatsetseka seguruva renyika; ndakavatswa uye ndikavatsika sedope riri munzira dzomumusha.
Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I stamped them as the mire of the street, [and] spread them abroad.
44 “Makandinunura kubva pakurwisa kwavanhu vangu; makandichengetedza somutungamiri wendudzi. Vanhu vandakanga ndisingazivi vava pasi pangu.
Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me [to be] head of the heathen: a people [which] I knew not shall serve me.
45 Uye vatorwa vanouya kwandiri vachidedera, pavanongondinzwa vanonditeerera.
Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
46 Vose vanoora mwoyo; vanouya vachidedera kubva panhare dzavo.
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall tremble from their close places.
47 “Jehovha mupenyu! Dombo rangu ngarirumbidzwe! Ngaakudzwe Mwari, iye Dombo, Muponesi wangu!
The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 Ndiye Mwari anonditsivira, anoisa ndudzi pasi pangu,
It [is] God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
49 anondisunungura kubva kuvavengi vangu. Imi makandikudza pamusoro pavavengi vangu; kubva kuvanhu vanoita nechisimba, makandinunura.
And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50 Naizvozvo ndichakurumbidzai, imi Jehovha, pakati pendudzi; ndicharumbidza zita renyu nenziyo.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to thy name.
51 “Iye anopa mambo wake kukunda kukuru; anoratidza unyoro hwake kumuzodziwa wake, kuna Dhavhidhi nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi.”
[He is] the tower of salvation for his king: and [he] showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
