Mapisarema 139
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, makandinzvera uye munondiziva.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Munoziva nguva yandinogara neyandinosimuka; munonzwisisa pfungwa dzangu muri kure.
Thou knowest my downsitting and my uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Munonzvera kubuda kwangu nokuvata kwangu pasi; munoziva nzira dzangu dzose.
Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 Shoko risati rava parurimi rwangu, tarirai, imi Jehovha, munoriziva rose.
For there is not a word on my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Munondikomberedza shure nemberi; makaisa ruoko rwenyu pamusoro pangu.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
6 Kuziva kwakadai kunondishamisa, kwakanyanya kukwirira zvokuti handingasvikiri.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain to it.
7 Ndingaendepiko kuti ndibve paMweya wenyu? Ndingatizirepiko kuti ndibve pamberi penyu?
Where shall I go from thy spirit? or where shall I flee from thy presence?
8 Kana ndikakwira kumatenga, imi muriko; kana ndikawarira mubhedha wangu kwakadzika, imi muriko. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Kana ndikasimuka namapapiro amambakwedza, kana ndikandogara kumagumo egungwa,
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 kunyange ipapo ruoko rwenyu runondisesedza, ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runondimbundikira.
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 Kana ndikati, “Zvirokwazvo rima richandivanza, uye chiedza chinondikomberedza chichava usiku kwandiri,”
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 kunyange rima haringavi rima kwamuri; usiku huchapenya samasikati, nokuti rima rakaita sechiedza kwamuri.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 Nokuti imi makasika zvomukatikati mangu; makandiruka ndiri mudumbu ramai vangu.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 Ndinokurumbidzai nokuti ndakaitwa nomutoo unotyisa uye unoshamisa; mabasa enyu anoshamisa, ndinonyatsozviziva kwazvo.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul well knoweth
15 Mapfupa angu akanga asina kuvanzika kwamuri, pandakanga ndaiswa munzvimbo yakavanda. Pandakarukwa ndiri pakadzika penyika,
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and skilfully formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 meso enyu akaona muviri usati waumbwa. Mazuva ose andakarongerwa akanga akanyorwa mubhuku renyu, rimwe rawo risati ravapo.
Thy eyes saw my substance, not yet formed; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 Mirangariro yenyu inokosha sei kwandiri, imi Mwari! Yakakura sei pakuverengwa kwayo!
How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 Dai ndaiverenga, ingadai yaikunda tsanga dzejecha pakuwanda. Pandinopepuka, ndinenge ndinemi.
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Dai mukangouraya vakaipa, imi Mwari! Endai kure neni, imi vanhu vokuteura ropa!
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 Ivo vanotaura nemi nomurangariro wakaipa; vadzivisi venyu vanoshandisa zita renyu zvakaipa.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thy enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Ko, ini handivengi vanokuvengai here, imi Jehovha, nokusema vaya vanokumukirai?
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 Handina chimwe chinhu asi kuvavenga ivo; ndinovati vavengi vangu.
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
23 Ndinzverei, imi Mwari, mugoziva mwoyo wangu; ndiedzei mugoziva kushuva kwendangariro dzangu.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 Muone kana musina nzira yakaipa mandiri, mugondifambisa munzira isingaperi.
And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
