Mapisarema 10
1 Munomirireiko kure, imi Jehovha? Munozvivanzireiko panguva yokutambudzika?
Why stand you afar off, O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble?
2 Pakuzvikudza kwake munhu akaipa anovhima vasina simba, vanobatwa namano okufunga kwake.
The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 Anozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinopangwa nomwoyo wake; anoropafadza vanokara uye anozvidza Jehovha.
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
4 Pakuzvikudza kwake akaipa haamutsvaki; mundangariro dzake dzose hamuna nzvimbo yaMwari.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 Nzira dzake dzinobudirira nguva dzose; anozvikudza uye mirayiro yenyu iri kure naye; anodadira vavengi vake vose.
His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
6 Anoti pakufunga kwake, “Hakuna chichandizungunusa; ndichagara ndakafara uye handingatongotambudziki.”
He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 Muromo wake uzere nokutuka, kureva nhema, uye nokutyisidzira; matambudziko nezvakaipa zviri pasi porurimi rwake.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 Anovandira ari pedyo nemisha; pakuvandira uku anouraya vasina mhosva, ari panzvimbo yakavanzika anotarira vaachaparadza.
He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privately set against the poor.
9 Anovandira seshumba iri panzvimbo yayo; anovandira kuti abate vasina anovabatsira; anobata vasina anobatsira uye anovakweva achienda navo mumumbure wake.
He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
10 Vabatwa vake anovapwanya, vanowa; vanowira pasi pesimba rake.
He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 Anoti mumwoyo make, “Mwari akanganwa; akafukidza chiso chake uye haazoonizve.”
He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.
12 Simukai, imi Jehovha! Simudzai ruoko rwenyu, imi Mwari. Regai kukanganwa vanomanikidzwa.
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
13 Munhu akaipa anozvidzireiko Mwari? Seiko achiti mumwoyo make, “Haazondibvunzi?”
Why does the wicked scorn God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
14 Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, munoona kutambudzika nokusuwa; munokutarisisa kuti mukupedze. Asina simba anozviisa kwamuri; muri mubatsiri wenherera.
You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Vhunai ruoko rweakaipa nerwomunhu akaipa; ngaazvidavirire pazvakaipa zvake zvakanga zvisingazoonekwi.
Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
16 Jehovha ndiye Mambo nokusingaperi-peri; ndudzi dzichaparara munyika yake.
The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 Munonzwa henyu, imi Jehovha, zvishuvo zvavanotambura; munovakurudzira, uye munoteerera kuchema kwavo,
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
18 muchiruramisira nherera nevakamanikidzwa, kuti munhu wenyika, arege kuramba achingovhundutsa.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
