Mapisarema 112

1 Rumbidzai Jehovha. Akaropafadzwa munhu anotya Jehovha, anofarira mirayiro yake zvikuru.

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

2 Vana vake vachava nesimba panyika; zvizvarwa zvavakarurama zvicharopafadzwa.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Pfuma nezvakawanda zviri mumba make, uye kururama kwake kunogara nokusingaperi.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

4 Kunyange murima akarurama anobudirwa nechiedza, iye munhu ane nyasha nengoni uye akarurama.

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Zvakanaka zvinouya kumunhu anopa zvizhinji uye anokweretesa pachena, anofambisa nzira dzake nokururamisira.

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 Zvirokwazvo, haangatongozungunuswi; munhu akarurama acharangarirwa nokusingaperi.

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

7 Haangatyi mashoko akaipa; mwoyo wake wakasimba, anovimba naJehovha.

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

8 Mwoyo wake wakachengetedzeka, haangatyi chinhu; pakupedzisira achatarira nokukunda kuvavengi vake.

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

9 Akaparadzira zvipo zvake kuvarombo, kururama kwake kunogara nokusingaperi; runyanga rwake ruchasimudzwa mudenga mukukudzwa.

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

10 Akaipa achazviona uye acharwadziwa, acharumanya meno ake uye achaonda; kushuva kwowakaipa kuchava pasina.

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
