Mapisarema 122

1 Rwiyo rworwendo rwaDhavhidhi. Ndakafara pavakati kwandiri, “Handei kumba yaJehovha.”

Ingoma yemiqanso. ElikaDavida. Ngathokoza lalabo abathi kimi, “Kasiye endlini kaThixo.”

2 Tsoka dzedu dzimire mukati mamasuo ako, iwe Jerusarema.

Inyawo zethu zimi ngaphakathi kwamasango akho, wena Jerusalema.

3 Jerusarema rakavakwa seguta rakapakata kwazvo.

IJerusalema yakhiwe njengomuzi obambeneyo waqina.

4 Ndiko kunokwira marudzi, iwo marudzi aJehovha, kundorumbidza zita raJehovha maererano nezvakatemerwa Israeri.

Kulapho eziqansela khona izizwana, izizwana zikaThixo, ukudumisa ibizo likaThixo njengalokho okwamiselwa u-Israyeli, ukuba abonge ibizo likaThixo.

5 Zvigaro zvokutonga zvimire ikoko, zvigaro zvoushe zveimba yaDhavhidhi.

Kulapho okumi khona izihlalo zobukhosi ezokwahlulela, izihlalo zobukhosi ezendlu kaDavida.

6 Nyengetererai rugare rweJerusarema: “Vanokuda dai vagara zvakanaka.

Khulekelani ukuthula kwaseJerusalema: “Sengathi labo abakuthandayo bangaphepha.

7 Dai mukati mamasvingo ako maita rugare, nokuchengetedzeka mukati menhare dzako.”

Sengathi kungaba lokuthula ngaphakathi kwemiduli yakho lokuvikela ngaphakathi kwezinqaba zakho.”

8 Nokuda kwehama neshamwari dzangu, ndichati, “Rugare ngaruve mukati mako.”

Ngenxa yabafowethu labangane bami, ngizakuthi, “Ukuthula akube ngaphakathi kwakho.”

9 Nokuda kweimba yaJehovha Mwari wedu, ndichatsvaka kubudirira kwako.

Ngenxa yendlu kaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, ngizakhuthaza ukuphumelela kwakho.
