Mapisarema 141
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, ndinodana kwamuri; kurumidzai kuuya kwandiri. Inzwai inzwi rangu pandinodana kwamuri.
I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.
2 Munyengetero wangu ngauiswe pamberi penyu sezvinonhuhwira; kusimudzwa kwamaoko angu ngakuite sechibayiro chamadekwana.
Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
3 Isai murindi pamuromo wangu, imi Jehovha; chengetai mukova wemiromo yangu.
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
4 Mwoyo wangu ngaurege kukweverwa kune zvakaipa, kuti ndiitewo mabasa akaipa navanhu vanoita zvakaipa; ngandirege kudya zvinozipa zvavo.
Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
5 Akarurama ngaandirove, ndidzo tsitsi; ngaanditsiure, ndiwo mafuta pamusoro wangu. Musoro wangu hauzorambi izvozvo. Asi munyengetero wangu unorwisa mabasa avaiti vezvakaipa nguva dzose.
The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:
6 Vatongi vavo vachakandwa kumawere, uye vakaipa vachadzidza kuti mashoko angu akanga akanaka kwazvo.
Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:
7 Ivo vachati, “Sezvinoita anorima achiparura pasi, saizvozvo mapfupa edu akaparadzirwa pamuromo weguva.” (Sheol h7585)
As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. (Sheol h7585)
8 Asi meso angu anotarira kwamuri, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndinotizira kwamuri, regai kundiisa kurufu.
But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
9 Ndichengetei pamisungo yavakanditeya nayo, napaugombe hwakadzikwa navaiti vezvakaipa.
Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
10 Vakaipa ngavawire mumimbure yavo, ini ndichipfuura napo norugare.
The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
