< Mapisarema 116 >
1 Ndinoda Jehovha, nokuti akanzwa inzwi rangu; akandinzwira tsitsi pakuchema kwangu.
Ngiyayithanda iNkosi, ngoba izwile ilizwi lami, ukunxusa kwami.
2 Nokuti akarerekera nzeve yake kwandiri, ndichadana kwaari mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu.
Ngoba ibeke indlebe yayo kimi, ngakho ngizayibiza ensukwini zami.
3 Misungo yorufu yakandipinganidza, kurwadza kweguva kwakauya pamusoro pangu; ndakakundwa nenhamo nokusuwa. (Sheol )
Izibopho zokufa zangihanqa, lenhlungu zesihogo zangibamba; ngathola inhlupheko losizi. (Sheol )
4 Ipapo ndakadana kuzita raJehovha ndikati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndiponesei!”
Ngasengibiza ibizo leNkosi, ngathi: O Nkosi, khulula umphefumulo wami.
5 Jehovha ane nyasha uye akarurama; Mwari wedu azere netsitsi.
Ilomusa iNkosi, ilungile; ye, uNkulunkulu wethu ulesihawu.
6 Jehovha anodzivirira vakatendeka pamwoyo; pandakanga ndiri pakushayiwa kukuru, iye akandiponesa.
INkosi iyabalondoloza abathobekileyo; ngehliselwa phansi, yasingisindisa.
7 Haiwa mweya wangu, chizorora zvakare, nokuti Jehovha akakuitira zvakanaka.
Buyela, mphefumulo wami, ekuphumuleni kwakho, ngoba iNkosi ikuphethe ngomusa.
8 Nokuti imi, iyemi Jehovha, makarwira mweya wangu parufu, meso angu pamisodzi, uye makumbo angu pakugumburwa,
Ngoba ikhulule umphefumulo wami ekufeni, amehlo ami ezinyembezini, unyawo lwami ekuweni.
9 kuti ndifambe pamberi paJehovha munyika yavapenyu.
Ngizahamba phambi kweNkosi emazweni abaphilayo.
10 Ndakatenda; naizvozvo ndakati, “Ndiri kutambudzika kwazvo.”
Ngakholwa, ngakho ngikhulumile. Mina ngahlupheka kakhulu.
11 Uye pakuvhunduka kwangu ndakati, “Vanhu vose vanoreva nhema.”
Mina ngathi ekuphangiseni kwami: Wonke umuntu ungumqambimanga.
12 Ndingaripira seiko Jehovha pamusoro pokunaka kwake kwose kwandiri?
Ngizabuyiselani eNkosiningazo zonke inzuzo zayo kimi?
13 Ndichasimudza mukombe woruponeso ndigodana kuzita raJehovha.
Ngizathatha inkezo yosindiso, ngibize ibizo leNkosi.
14 Ndichazadzisa mhiko dzangu kuna Jehovha, pamberi pavanhu vake vose.
Ngizakhokha izifungo zami eNkosini, khathesi phambi kwabantu bayo bonke.
15 Chinhu chinokosha pamberi paJehovha ndirwo rufu rwavatsvene vake.
Kuligugu emehlweni eNkosi ukufa kwabangcwele bayo.
16 Haiwa Jehovha, zvirokwazvo ndiri muranda wenyu; ndiri muranda wenyu, mwanakomana womurandakadzi wenyu; makandisunungura pangetani dzangu.
Hawu Nkosi, isibili ngiyinceku yakho, ngiyinceku yakho, indodana yencekukazi yakho; uthukulule izibopho zami.
17 Ndichabayira chipo chokuvonga kwamuri, uye ndichadana kuzita raJehovha.
Ngizakuhlabela umhlatshelo wokubonga, ngibize ibizo leNkosi.
18 Ndichazadzisa mhiko dzangu kuna Jehovha, pamberi pavanhu vake vose,
Ngizakhokha izifungo zami eNkosini, khathesi phambi kwabantu bayo bonke,
19 pavanze dzeimba yaJehovha, mukati mako, iwe Jerusarema. Rumbidzai Jehovha.
emagumeni endlu yeNkosi, phakathi kwakho, Jerusalema. Dumisani iNkosi!
