< Mapisarema 140 >
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndirwirei, imi Jehovha, pavanhu vakaipa; ndidzivirirei pavanhu vanoita nechisimba.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Landitseni Yehova kwa anthu oyipa; tetezeni kwa anthu ankhanza,
2 Ivo vanofunga urongwa hwakaipa mumwoyo yavo, uye vanomutsa hondo mazuva ose.
amene mu mtima mwawo amakonza zinthu zoyipa ndi kuyambitsa nkhondo tsiku lililonse.
3 Vanorodza ndimi dzavo kuti dzipinze sedzenyoka; uturu hwenyoka yechiva huri pamiromo yavo. Sera
Iwo amanola malilime awo kukhala akuthwa ngati a njoka; pa milomo yawo pali ululu wa mamba. (Sela)
4 Ndichengetei, imi Jehovha, kubva mumaoko avakaipa; ndidzivirirei pavanhu vanoita nechisimba vanoronga kupinga tsoka dzangu.
Tetezeni Inu Yehova, kwa anthu oyipa; tchinjirizeni kwa anthu ankhanza amene amakonza zokola mapazi anga.
5 Vanhu vanozvikudza vakandivanzira misungo; vakatambanudza mabote emimbure yavo uye vakateya ugombe munzira yandinofamba nayo. Sera
Anthu odzikuza anditchera msampha mobisika; iwo atchera zingwe za maukonde awo ndipo anditchera misampha pa njira yanga. (Sela)
6 Haiwa Jehovha, ndinoti kwamuri, “Ndimi Mwari wangu.” Haiwa Jehovha, inzwai kuchemera nyasha kwangu.
Inu Yehova, ine ndikuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.” Imvani kupempha kwanga Yehova.
7 Haiwa Ishe Jehovha, imi mudzikinuri wangu ane simba, anofukidza musoro wangu pazuva rehondo,
Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, Mpulumutsi wanga wamphamvu, mumateteza mutu wanga tsiku lankhondo.
8 regai kupa vakaipa zvavanoda, imi Jehovha; musarega urongwa hwavo huchibudirira, kuti varege kuzvikudza. Sera
Musawapatse anthu oyipa zokhumba zawo, Inu Yehova; musalole kuti zokonza zawo zitheke, mwina iwo adzayamba kunyada. (Sela)
9 Misoro yaavo vakandipoteredza ngaifukidzwe nenhamo yakaparwa nemiromo yavo.
Mitu ya amene andizungulira iphimbidwe ndi masautso amene milomo yawo yayambitsa.
10 Mazimbe anopfuta ngaawire pamusoro pavo; ngavakandwe mumoto, mumakomba amatope, vasambomukazve.
Makala amoto agwere pa iwo; aponyedwe pa moto, mʼmaenje amatope, asatulukemonso.
11 Vane makuhwa ngavarege kusimbiswa panyika; njodzi ngaivhime vanhu vanoita zvinhu nechisimba.
Musalole kuti anthu achipongwe akhazikike mʼdziko; choyipa chilondole anthu ankhanza.
12 Ndinoziva kuti Jehovha akachengetera varombo kururamisirwa kwavo, uye anotsigira vanoshayiwa pamhaka dzavo.
Ndikudziwa kuti Yehova amapereka chiweruzo cholungama kwa anthu osauka, ndipo amateteza zolinga za anthu osowa.
13 Zvirokwazvo vakarurama vacharumbidza zita renyu, uye vakarurama vachagara pamberi penyu.
Zoonadi anthu olungama adzatamanda dzina lanu, ndipo anthu owongoka mtima adzakhala pamaso panu.
