Mapisarema 116

1 Ndinoda Jehovha, nokuti akanzwa inzwi rangu; akandinzwira tsitsi pakuchema kwangu.

I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

2 Nokuti akarerekera nzeve yake kwandiri, ndichadana kwaari mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu.

Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 Misungo yorufu yakandipinganidza, kurwadza kweguva kwakauya pamusoro pangu; ndakakundwa nenhamo nokusuwa. (Sheol h7585)

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

4 Ipapo ndakadana kuzita raJehovha ndikati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndiponesei!”

Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I plead to you, deliver my soul.

5 Jehovha ane nyasha uye akarurama; Mwari wedu azere netsitsi.

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

6 Jehovha anodzivirira vakatendeka pamwoyo; pandakanga ndiri pakushayiwa kukuru, iye akandiponesa.

The LORD perserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Haiwa mweya wangu, chizorora zvakare, nokuti Jehovha akakuitira zvakanaka.

Return unto your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

8 Nokuti imi, iyemi Jehovha, makarwira mweya wangu parufu, meso angu pamisodzi, uye makumbo angu pakugumburwa,

For you have delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 kuti ndifambe pamberi paJehovha munyika yavapenyu.

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10 Ndakatenda; naizvozvo ndakati, “Ndiri kutambudzika kwazvo.”

I believed, therefore have I spoken: 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 unto the LORD 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 the LORD.

14 Ndichazadzisa mhiko dzangu kuna Jehovha, pamberi pavanhu vake vose.

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

15 Chinhu chinokosha pamberi paJehovha ndirwo rufu rwavatsvene vake.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

16 Haiwa Jehovha, zvirokwazvo ndiri muranda wenyu; ndiri muranda wenyu, mwanakomana womurandakadzi wenyu; makandisunungura pangetani dzangu.

O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed my bonds.

17 Ndichabayira chipo chokuvonga kwamuri, uye ndichadana kuzita raJehovha.

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18 Ndichazadzisa mhiko dzangu kuna Jehovha, pamberi pavanhu vake vose,

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

19 pavanze dzeimba yaJehovha, mukati mako, iwe Jerusarema. Rumbidzai Jehovha.

In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise all of you the LORD.
