Mapisarema 18
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi muranda waJehovha. Akaimbira Jehovha mashoko orwiyo urwu paakarwirwa naJehovha kubva mumaoko avavengi vake vose nomuruoko rwaSauro. Akati: Ndinokudai, imi Jehovha, simba rangu.
[For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of YHWH, who spoke to YHWH the words of this song in the day that YHWH delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, ] I love you, YHWH, my strength.
2 Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu, murwiri wangu; Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, wandinovanda maari. Ndiye nhoo yangu norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu, shongwe yangu.
YHWH is my Rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye akafanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu.
I call on YHWH, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
4 Mabote orufu akandipinganidza; mvura zhinji inoparadza yakandifukidza.
The waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Pakutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadana kuna Mwari wangu kuti ndibatsirwe. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika pamberi pake munzeve dzake.
In my distress I called upon YHWH, and cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
7 Nyika yakadedera ikadengenyeka, uye nheyo dzamakomo dzakazunguzika;
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
8 Utsi hwakakwira huchibva mumhino dzake; moto unoparadza wakabuda mumuromo make, mazimbe anopisa akabuda mauri achipfuta.
Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
9 Akatsemura matenga akauya pasi; makore erima akanga ari pasi petsoka dzake.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
10 Akatasva makerubhi akabhururuka; akabhururuka pamapapiro emhepo.
He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 Akaita rima chifukidzo chake, denga rake rakamupoteredza, iwo makore matema emvura okudenga.
He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
12 Nokupenya kwaibva pamberi pake, makore akabuda akafamba, nechimvuramabwe nokupenya kwemheni.
From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Jehovha akatinhira kudenga; inzwi roWokumusoro-soro rikanzwika.
YHWH also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice.
14 Akapfura miseve yake akaparadzira vavengi vake, kupenya kukuru kwemheni kukavavhundutsa.
And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
15 Mipata yegungwa yakaiswa pachena, uye nheyo dzenyika dzakaiswa pachena pakutuka kwenyu, imi Jehovha, nokufema kwemhino dzenyu.
And the depths of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, YHWH, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 Akadzika pasi achibva kumusoro akanditora; akandibudisa pamvura zhinji yakadzika.
He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
17 Akandinunura kubva kuvavengi vangu vane simba, kubva kuvadzivisi vangu, vakanga vakasimba zvikuru kwandiri.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18 Vakandinanga pazuva renjodzi yangu, asi Jehovha akanga ari mutsigiri wangu.
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but YHWH was my support.
19 Akandibudisa akandiisa panzvimbo yakafarikana; akandinunura nokuti akanga achindifarira.
He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Jehovha akandiitira zvakafanira kururama kwangu; nokuchena kwamaoko angu.
YHWH has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
21 Nokuti ndakachengeta nzira dzaJehovha; handina kuita zvakaipa nokubva pana Mwari wangu.
For I have kept the ways of YHWH, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Mirayiro yake yose iri pamberi pangu; handina kutsauka pazvirevo zvake.
For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 Ndakanga ndisina chandingapomerwa pamberi pake, uye ndakazvichengeta kuti ndigare kure nechivi.
I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Jehovha akandipa mubayiro zvakaringana nokururama kwangu, zvakaringana nokuchena kwamaoko angu pamberi pake.
Therefore YHWH has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 Kuna vakatendeka munoratidza kutendeka kwenyu, kuna vasina chavangapomerwa munoratidza kusapomerwa kwenyu,
With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
26 kuna vakachena munoratidza kuchena kwenyu, asi kuna vakatsauka munoratidza hasha dzenyu.
With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
27 Munoponesa vanozvininipisa, asi muchideredza vane meso anozvikudza.
For you will save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
28 Imi, iyemi Jehovha, munoita kuti mwenje wangu urambe uchipfuta; Mwari wangu anoshandura rima rangu richiva chiedza.
For you light my lamp. YHWH my God lights up my darkness.
29 Norubatsiro rwenyu ndichaenda kundorwa hondo; naMwari wangu ndinogona kukwira rusvingo.
For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
30 Kana ari Mwari, nzira yake yakakwana; shoko raJehovha harina charingapomerwa. Ndiye nhoo yavose vanovanda maari.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of YHWH is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
31 Nokuti ndianiko Mwari kunze kwaJehovha? Uye ndianiko Dombo kunze kwaMwari wedu?
For who is God, except YHWH? Who is a rock, besides our God,
32 NdiMwari anondishongedza nesimba uye anokwanisa nzira yangu.
the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
33 Anoita kuti tsoka dzangu dzive setsoka dzenondo; anoita kuti ndigone kumira pakakwirira.
He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me on my high places.
34 Anodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa; maoko angu anowembura uta hwendarira.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
35 Munondipa nhoo yenyu yokukunda, uye ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira; munokotama pasi kuti mundiite mukuru.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
36 Munondiitira nzira yakapamhama pasi pangu, kuitira kuti zvitsitsinho zvangu zvirege kutedzemuka.
You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
37 Ndakatevera vavengi vangu ndikavabata; handina kudzokera shure kusvikira vaparadzwa.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
38 Ndakavapwanya kuti vakoniwe kusimuka; vakawira pasi petsoka dzangu.
I struck them through, so that they did not rise. They fell beneath my feet.
39 Makandishongedza nesimba rokurwa; makaita kuti vadzivisi vangu vapfugame patsoka dzangu.
For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 Makaita kuti vavengi vangu vatize, uye ndakaparadza vavengi vangu.
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
41 Vakachemera kubatsirwa, asi hakuna akavaponesa, kunyange kuna Jehovha, asi haana kuvapindura.
They cried, but there was none to save; even to YHWH, but he did not answer them.
42 Ndakavapura vakatsetseka seguruva ratakurwa nemhepo; ndakavadururira pasi sedope renzira dzomumusha.
Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
43 Makandirwira pakurwisa kwavanhu; makandiita musoro wendudzi; vanhu vandakanga ndisingazivi vava varanda vangu.
You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 Pavanongondinzwa, vanonditeerera; vatorwa vanokotama pamberi pangu.
As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
45 Vose vanoora mwoyo; vanouya vachibva panhare dzavo vachidedera.
they are not bound in chains.
46 Jehovha mupenyu! Dombo rangu ngarirumbidzwe! Ngaakudzwe Mwari Muponesi wangu!
YHWH lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
47 Ndiye Mwari anonditsivira, anoisa ndudzi pasi pangu,
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
48 anondiponesa pavavengi vangu. Makandisimudzira pamusoro pavavengi vangu. Makandinunura kubva kuvanhu vechisimba.
He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
49 Naizvozvo ndichakurumbidzai pakati pendudzi, imi Jehovha; ndichaimbira zita renyu nziyo dzokurumbidza.
Therefore I will praise you, YHWH, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
50 Anopa mambo wake kukunda kukuru; anoratidza unyoro hwake husingaperi kumuzodziwa wake, kuna Dhavhidhi nokuvana vake nokusingaperi.
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever.
