Mapisarema 120

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinodana kuna Jehovha mukutambudzika kwangu, uye anondipindura.

The song of greces. Whanne Y was set in tribulacioun, Y criede to the Lord; and he herde me.

2 Haiwa Jehovha, ndiponesei pamiromo inoreva nhema, nendimi dzinonyengera.

Lord, delyuere thou my soule fro wickid lippis; and fro a gileful tunge.

3 Achaiteiko kwauri, uye chimwe chiiko kunze kwezvizvi, iwe rurimi runonyengera?

What schal be youun to thee, ether what schal be leid to thee; to a gileful tunge?

4 Achakuranga nemiseve yakapinza yemhare, namazimbe anopfuta omuti womurara.

Scharpe arowis of the myyti; with colis that maken desolat.

5 Ndine nhamo ini ndinogara muMesheki, kuti ndinogara pakati pamatende eKedhari!

Allas to me! for my dwelling in an alien lond is maad long, Y dwellide with men dwellinge in Cedar; my soule was myche a comelyng.

6 Ndakagara nguva refu pakati pavanovenga rugare.

I was pesible with hem that hatiden pees;

7 Ndiri munhu worugare; asi pandinotaura, ivo ndevehondo.

whanne Y spak to hem, thei ayenseiden me with outen cause.
