Mapisarema 130

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinodanidzira kwamuri Jehovha, ndiri pakadzika;

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

2 haiwa Jehovha, inzwai inzwi rangu. Nzeve dzenyu ngadzinzwe kuchemera kwangu ngoni.

Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3 Dai imi, iyemi Jehovha, maironda zvakaipa zvomunhu, haiwa Jehovha, ndianiko aimira?

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

4 Asi kwamuri kune kukanganwira; naizvozvo imi munotyiwa.

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

5 Ndinomirira Jehovha, mweya wangu unomirira, uye tariro yangu iri mushoko rake.

My soul hath hoped in the Lord.

6 Mweya wangu unorindira Ishe kupfuura varindi vanomirira rungwanani.

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

7 Haiwa Israeri, isa tariro yako muna Jehovha, nokuti Jehovha ane rudo rusingaperi uye kwaari kune dzikinuro izere.

Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

8 Iye pachake achadzikinura Israeri kubva pazvivi zvavo zvose.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
