Mapisarema 130

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinodanidzira kwamuri Jehovha, ndiri pakadzika;

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

4 Asi kwamuri kune kukanganwira; naizvozvo imi munotyiwa.

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

6 Mweya wangu unorindira Ishe kupfuura varindi vanomirira rungwanani.

My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

8 Iye pachake achadzikinura Israeri kubva pazvivi zvavo zvose.

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
