Mapisarema 10
1 Munomirireiko kure, imi Jehovha? Munozvivanzireiko panguva yokutambudzika?
So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away? Why have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation?
2 Pakuzvikudza kwake munhu akaipa anovhima vasina simba, vanobatwa namano okufunga kwake.
While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed. They are held by the counsels that they devise.
3 Anozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinopangwa nomwoyo wake; anoropafadza vanokara uye anozvidza Jehovha.
For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul, and the iniquitous is blessed.
4 Pakuzvikudza kwake akaipa haamutsvaki; mundangariro dzake dzose hamuna nzvimbo yaMwari.
The sinner has provoked the Lord; according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him.
5 Nzira dzake dzinobudirira nguva dzose; anozvikudza uye mirayiro yenyu iri kure naye; anodadira vavengi vake vose.
God is not before his sight. His ways are stained at all times. Your judgments are removed from his face. He will be master of all his enemies.
6 Anoti pakufunga kwake, “Hakuna chichandizungunusa; ndichagara ndakafara uye handingatongotambudziki.”
For he has said in his heart, “I will not be disturbed: from generation to generation without evil.”
7 Muromo wake uzere nokutuka, kureva nhema, uye nokutyisidzira; matambudziko nezvakaipa zviri pasi porurimi rwake.
His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit. Under his tongue are hardship and sorrow.
8 Anovandira ari pedyo nemisha; pakuvandira uku anouraya vasina mhosva, ari panzvimbo yakavanzika anotarira vaachaparadza.
He sits in ambush, with resources in hidden places, so that he may execute the innocent.
9 Anovandira seshumba iri panzvimbo yayo; anovandira kuti abate vasina anovabatsira; anobata vasina anobatsira uye anovakweva achienda navo mumumbure wake.
His eyes catch sight of the poor. He lies in ambush, in hiding like a lion in his den. He lies in ambush, so that he may seize the poor, to seize the poor as he draws him in.
10 Vabatwa vake anovapwanya, vanowa; vanowira pasi pesimba rake.
With his snare, he will bring him down. He will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor.
11 Anoti mumwoyo make, “Mwari akanganwa; akafukidza chiso chake uye haazoonizve.”
For he has said in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end.”
12 Simukai, imi Jehovha! Simudzai ruoko rwenyu, imi Mwari. Regai kukanganwa vanomanikidzwa.
O Lord God, rise up. Let your hand be exalted. Do not forget the poor.
13 Munhu akaipa anozvidzireiko Mwari? Seiko achiti mumwoyo make, “Haazondibvunzi?”
How has the impious one provoked God? For he has said in his heart, “He will not inquire.”
14 Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, munoona kutambudzika nokusuwa; munokutarisisa kuti mukupedze. Asina simba anozviisa kwamuri; muri mubatsiri wenherera.
You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow, so that you may deliver them into your hands. The poor one has been abandoned to you. You will be a helper to the orphan.
15 Vhunai ruoko rweakaipa nerwomunhu akaipa; ngaazvidavirire pazvakaipa zvake zvakanga zvisingazoonekwi.
Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious. His sin will be sought, and it will not be found.
16 Jehovha ndiye Mambo nokusingaperi-peri; ndudzi dzichaparara munyika yake.
The Lord shall reign in eternity, even forever and ever. You will perish the Gentiles from his land.
17 Munonzwa henyu, imi Jehovha, zvishuvo zvavanotambura; munovakurudzira, uye munoteerera kuchema kwavo,
The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor. Your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart,
18 muchiruramisira nherera nevakamanikidzwa, kuti munhu wenyika, arege kuramba achingovhundutsa.
so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth.
