Mapisarema 130

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinodanidzira kwamuri Jehovha, ndiri pakadzika;

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.

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

Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

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

Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?

4 Asi kwamuri kune kukanganwira; naizvozvo imi munotyiwa.

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

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

I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

6 Mweya wangu unorindira Ishe kupfuura varindi vanomirira rungwanani.

I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.

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

Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for the Lord loves us with a trustworthy love and his salvation knows no limits.

8 Iye pachake achadzikinura Israeri kubva pazvivi zvavo zvose.

He will save Israel from every sin.
