Mapisarema 116
1 Ndinoda Jehovha, nokuti akanzwa inzwi rangu; akandinzwira tsitsi pakuchema kwangu.
I love Jehovah because he hears my voice and my supplications.
2 Nokuti akarerekera nzeve yake kwandiri, ndichadana kwaari mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu.
Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live.
3 Misungo yorufu yakandipinganidza, kurwadza kweguva kwakauya pamusoro pangu; ndakakundwa nenhamo nokusuwa. (Sheol h7585)
The cords of death encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ipapo ndakadana kuzita raJehovha ndikati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndiponesei!”
Then I called upon the name of Jehovah. O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Jehovha ane nyasha uye akarurama; Mwari wedu azere netsitsi.
Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous. Yea, our God is merciful.
6 Jehovha anodzivirira vakatendeka pamwoyo; pandakanga ndiri pakushayiwa kukuru, iye akandiponesa.
Jehovah preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Haiwa mweya wangu, chizorora zvakare, nokuti Jehovha akakuitira zvakanaka.
Return to thy rest, O my soul, for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with thee.
8 Nokuti imi, iyemi Jehovha, makarwira mweya wangu parufu, meso angu pamisodzi, uye makumbo angu pakugumburwa,
For thou have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
9 kuti ndifambe pamberi paJehovha munyika yavapenyu.
I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
10 Ndakatenda; naizvozvo ndakati, “Ndiri kutambudzika kwazvo.”
I believed, therefore I have spoken, but I was greatly afflicted.
11 Uye pakuvhunduka kwangu ndakati, “Vanhu vose vanoreva nhema.”
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 Ndingaripira seiko Jehovha pamusoro pokunaka kwake kwose kwandiri?
What shall I render to Jehovah for all his benefits toward me?
13 Ndichasimudza mukombe woruponeso ndigodana kuzita raJehovha.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
14 Ndichazadzisa mhiko dzangu kuna Jehovha, pamberi pavanhu vake vose.
I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yea, in the presence of all his people.
15 Chinhu chinokosha pamberi paJehovha ndirwo rufu rwavatsvene vake.
Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his sanctified.
16 Haiwa Jehovha, zvirokwazvo ndiri muranda wenyu; ndiri muranda wenyu, mwanakomana womurandakadzi wenyu; makandisunungura pangetani dzangu.
O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds.
17 Ndichabayira chipo chokuvonga kwamuri, uye ndichadana kuzita raJehovha.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
18 Ndichazadzisa mhiko dzangu kuna Jehovha, pamberi pavanhu vake vose,
I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yea, in the presence of all his people,
19 pavanze dzeimba yaJehovha, mukati mako, iwe Jerusarema. Rumbidzai Jehovha.
in the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
