Mapisarema 116

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

I 'ahav ·affectionately love· Adonai, because he sh'ma ·hears obeys· my voice, and my cries for mercy.

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

Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

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

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol ·Place of the dead· got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

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

Then I called on Adonai’s name: “Adonai, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

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

Adonai is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is racham ·merciful love·.

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

Adonai preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

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

Teshuvah ·Completely return· to your rest, my soul, for Adonai 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, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 kuti ndifambe pamberi paJehovha munyika yavapenyu.

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

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

I trusted, therefore I said, “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 will I give to Adonai for all his benefits toward me?

13 Ndichasimudza mukombe woruponeso ndigodana kuzita raJehovha.

I will take the cup of yishu'ah ·salvation·, and call on Adonai’s name.

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

I will pay my vows to Adonai, yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 Chinhu chinokosha pamberi paJehovha ndirwo rufu rwavatsvene vake.

Precious in Adonai’s sight is the death of his saints.

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

Adonai, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant. You have freed me from my chains.

17 Ndichabayira chipo chokuvonga kwamuri, uye ndichadana kuzita raJehovha.

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on Adonai’s name.

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

I will pay my vows to Adonai, yes, in the presence of all his people,

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

in the courts of Adonai’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem [City of peace]. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
