Mapisarema 110

1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi Jehovha akati kuna She wangu, “Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi, kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako.”

Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”

2 Jehovha achatambanudza tsvimbo yesimba rako kubva muZioni; uchatonga pakati pavavengi vako.

Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

3 Mauto ako achazvipira pazuva rako rehondo. Wapfekedzwa nguo youshe, utsvene, kubva pachizvaro chamambakwedza uchagamuchira dova roujaya hwako.

On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”

4 Jehovha akapika, uye haangashanduki, achiti, “Iwe uri muprista nokusingaperi, worudzi rwaMerikizedheki.”

Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”

5 Jehovha ari kuruoko rwako rworudyi; achaparadza madzimambo pazuva rehasha dzake.

Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

6 Achatonga ndudzi, achiunganidza vakafa, uye achiparadza vatongi venyika yose.

He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.

7 Achanwa parukova rwuri parutivi penzira; naizvozvo achasimudza musoro wake.

But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
