Mapisarema 130

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinodanidzira kwamuri Jehovha, ndiri pakadzika;

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths, have I cried unto thee, O Yahweh.

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

O My Lord! hearken thou unto my voice, —Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications,

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

If, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?

4 Asi kwamuri kune kukanganwira; naizvozvo imi munotyiwa.

But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

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

I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;

6 Mweya wangu unorindira Ishe kupfuura varindi vanomirira rungwanani.

I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.

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

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, —for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.

8 Iye pachake achadzikinura Israeri kubva pazvivi zvavo zvose.

He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
