Mapisarema 130

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinodanidzira kwamuri Jehovha, ndiri pakadzika;

“A song of the degrees.” Out of the depths have I called thee, O Lord.

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

Lord, listen to my voice: let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If thou, Lord, shouldst treasure up iniquities, O Lord, who would be able to stand?

4 Asi kwamuri kune kukanganwira; naizvozvo imi munotyiwa.

But with thee there is forgiveness, in order that thou mayest be feared.

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

I hope for the Lord, my soul doth hope, and for his word do I wait.

6 Mweya wangu unorindira Ishe kupfuura varindi vanomirira rungwanani.

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning expect the morning.

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

Let Israel wait for the Lord; for with the Lord there is kindness, and with him is redemption in abundance;

8 Iye pachake achadzikinura Israeri kubva pazvivi zvavo zvose.

And he wilt surely redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
