Mapisarema 141
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, ndinodana kwamuri; kurumidzai kuuya kwandiri. Inzwai inzwi rangu pandinodana kwamuri.
A Psalm. Of David. Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.
2 Munyengetero wangu ngauiswe pamberi penyu sezvinonhuhwira; kusimudzwa kwamaoko angu ngakuite sechibayiro chamadekwana.
Let my prayer be ordered before you like a sweet smell; and let the lifting up of my hands be like the evening offering.
3 Isai murindi pamuromo wangu, imi Jehovha; chengetai mukova wemiromo yangu.
O Lord, keep a watch over my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Mwoyo wangu ngaurege kukweverwa kune zvakaipa, kuti ndiitewo mabasa akaipa navanhu vanoita zvakaipa; ngandirege kudya zvinozipa zvavo.
Keep my heart from desiring any evil thing, or from taking part in the sins of the evil-doers with men who do wrong: and let me have no part in their good things.
5 Akarurama ngaandirove, ndidzo tsitsi; ngaanditsiure, ndiwo mafuta pamusoro wangu. Musoro wangu hauzorambi izvozvo. Asi munyengetero wangu unorwisa mabasa avaiti vezvakaipa nguva dzose.
Let the upright give me punishment; and let the god-fearing man put me in the right way; but I will not let the oil of sinners come on my head: when they do evil I will give myself to prayer.
6 Vatongi vavo vachakandwa kumawere, uye vakaipa vachadzidza kuti mashoko angu akanga akanaka kwazvo.
When destruction comes to their judges by the side of the rock, they will give ear to my words, for they are sweet.
7 Ivo vachati, “Sezvinoita anorima achiparura pasi, saizvozvo mapfupa edu akaparadzirwa pamuromo weguva.” (Sheol h7585)
Our bones are broken up at the mouth of the underworld, as the earth is broken by the plough. (Sheol h7585)
8 Asi meso angu anotarira kwamuri, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndinotizira kwamuri, regai kundiisa kurufu.
But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God: my hope is in you; let not my soul be given up to death.
9 Ndichengetei pamisungo yavakanditeya nayo, napaugombe hwakadzikwa navaiti vezvakaipa.
Keep me from the net which they have put down for me, and from the designs of the workers of evil.
10 Vakaipa ngavawire mumimbure yavo, ini ndichipfuura napo norugare.
Let the sinners be taken in the nets which they themselves have put down, while I go free.
