Mapisarema 19
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Matenga anotaura kubwinya kwaMwari; matenga anoparidza mabasa amaoko ake.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Zuva nezuva anotaura; usiku nousiku anoratidza zivo.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 Hakuna mutauro kana rurimi rusinganzwi inzwi ravo.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Inzwi razvo rinosvika panyika yose, mashoko azvo kumagumo apasi. Mumatenga imomo, akadzika tende rezuva,
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 rakaita sechikomba chinobuda mumba, seshasha inopemberera kumhanya nhangemutange.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 Rinobuda kuno rumwe rutivi rwedenga richitenderera kusvikira kuno rumwe rutivi; hakuna chinhu chakavanzika kubva pakupisa kwaro.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 Murayiro waJehovha wakakwana, unomutsiridza mweya. Zvirevo zvaJehovha zvakavimbika, zvinopa njere kuna vasina mano.
The law of Yhwh is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of Yhwh is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Zvirevo zvaJehovha zvakarurama, zvinopa mufaro kumwoyo. Murayiro waJehovha unopenya, unopa chiedza kumaziso.
The statutes of Yhwh are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yhwh is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Kutya Jehovha kwakanaka, kunogara nokusingaperi. Zvakatongwa naJehovha ndezvechokwadi uye zvose zvakarurama.
The fear of Yhwh is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of Yhwh are true and righteous altogether.
10 Zvinokosha kupfuura goridhe, kupfuura goridhe rakanatswa; zvinotapira kupfuura uchi, kupinda uchi hwabva muzinga.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Muranda wenyu anoyambirwa nazvo; pakuzvichengeta pano mubayiro mukuru.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Ndianiko angaziva kukanganisa kwake? Ndikanganwirei mhosva dzangu dzakavanzika.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret sins.
13 Dzorai muranda wenyu kubva pakutadza nobwoni; ngazvirege kuva nesimba pamusoro pangu. Ipapo handizovi nemhosva, ndisina mhaka yokudarika kukuru.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Mashoko omuromo wangu nokurangarira kwomwoyo wangu ngazvifadze pamberi penyu, imi Jehovha, Dombo rangu noMudzikinuri wangu.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Yhwh, my strength, and my redeemer.
