Mapisarema 10
1 Munomirireiko kure, imi Jehovha? Munozvivanzireiko panguva yokutambudzika?
Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
2 Pakuzvikudza kwake munhu akaipa anovhima vasina simba, vanobatwa namano okufunga kwake.
Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
3 Anozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvinopangwa nomwoyo wake; anoropafadza vanokara uye anozvidza Jehovha.
Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
4 Pakuzvikudza kwake akaipa haamutsvaki; mundangariro dzake dzose hamuna nzvimbo yaMwari.
The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. 'God is not!' [are] all his devices.
5 Nzira dzake dzinobudirira nguva dzose; anozvikudza uye mirayiro yenyu iri kure naye; anodadira vavengi vake vose.
Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries — he puffeth at them.
6 Anoti pakufunga kwake, “Hakuna chichandizungunusa; ndichagara ndakafara uye handingatongotambudziki.”
He hath said in his heart, 'I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.
7 Muromo wake uzere nokutuka, kureva nhema, uye nokutyisidzira; matambudziko nezvakaipa zviri pasi porurimi rwake.
Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
8 Anovandira ari pedyo nemisha; pakuvandira uku anouraya vasina mhosva, ari panzvimbo yakavanzika anotarira vaachaparadza.
He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
9 Anovandira seshumba iri panzvimbo yayo; anovandira kuti abate vasina anovabatsira; anobata vasina anobatsira uye anovakweva achienda navo mumumbure wake.
He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
10 Vabatwa vake anovapwanya, vanowa; vanowira pasi pesimba rake.
He is bruised — he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
11 Anoti mumwoyo make, “Mwari akanganwa; akafukidza chiso chake uye haazoonizve.”
He said in his heart, 'God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'
12 Simukai, imi Jehovha! Simudzai ruoko rwenyu, imi Mwari. Regai kukanganwa vanomanikidzwa.
Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
13 Munhu akaipa anozvidzireiko Mwari? Seiko achiti mumwoyo make, “Haazondibvunzi?”
Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, 'It is not required.'
14 Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, munoona kutambudzika nokusuwa; munokutarisisa kuti mukupedze. Asina simba anozviisa kwamuri; muri mubatsiri wenherera.
Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
15 Vhunai ruoko rweakaipa nerwomunhu akaipa; ngaazvidavirire pazvakaipa zvake zvakanga zvisingazoonekwi.
Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
16 Jehovha ndiye Mambo nokusingaperi-peri; ndudzi dzichaparara munyika yake.
Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
17 Munonzwa henyu, imi Jehovha, zvishuvo zvavanotambura; munovakurudzira, uye munoteerera kuchema kwavo,
The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
18 muchiruramisira nherera nevakamanikidzwa, kuti munhu wenyika, arege kuramba achingovhundutsa.
To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress — man of the earth!
