Mapisarema 19
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Matenga anotaura kubwinya kwaMwari; matenga anoparidza mabasa amaoko ake.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” The heavens relate the glory of God; and the expanse telleth of the works of his hands.
2 Zuva nezuva anotaura; usiku nousiku anoratidza zivo.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
3 Hakuna mutauro kana rurimi rusinganzwi inzwi ravo.
There is no speech, there are no words, their voice is not heard.
4 Inzwi razvo rinosvika panyika yose, mashoko azvo kumagumo apasi. Mumatenga imomo, akadzika tende rezuva,
[But] their melody extendeth through all the earth, and to the end of the world their words. For the sun hath he set a tabernacle among them;
5 rakaita sechikomba chinobuda mumba, seshasha inopemberera kumhanya nhangemutange.
And he goeth out as a bridegroom from his chamber, he is glad like a strong man to run his course;
6 Rinobuda kuno rumwe rutivi rwedenga richitenderera kusvikira kuno rumwe rutivi; hakuna chinhu chakavanzika kubva pakupisa kwaro.
From the end of the heavens is his going forth, and his circuit is unto their ends: and there is nothing hidden from his heat.
7 Murayiro waJehovha wakakwana, unomutsiridza mweya. Zvirevo zvaJehovha zvakavimbika, zvinopa njere kuna vasina mano.
The law of the Lord is perfect, quieting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Zvirevo zvaJehovha zvakarurama, zvinopa mufaro kumwoyo. Murayiro waJehovha unopenya, unopa chiedza kumaziso.
The precepts of the Lord are upright, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes.
9 Kutya Jehovha kwakanaka, kunogara nokusingaperi. Zvakatongwa naJehovha ndezvechokwadi uye zvose zvakarurama.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever: the ordinances of the Lord are the truth, they are just altogether.
10 Zvinokosha kupfuura goridhe, kupfuura goridhe rakanatswa; zvinotapira kupfuura uchi, kupinda uchi hwabva muzinga.
They are those which are to be desired more than gold, and much fine gold; and they are sweeter than honey and the dropping of honeycomb.
11 Muranda wenyu anoyambirwa nazvo; pakuzvichengeta pano mubayiro mukuru.
Moreover thy servant is admonished by them: in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Ndianiko angaziva kukanganisa kwake? Ndikanganwirei mhosva dzangu dzakavanzika.
Who can guard against errors? from secret [faults] do thou cleanse me.
13 Dzorai muranda wenyu kubva pakutadza nobwoni; ngazvirege kuva nesimba pamusoro pangu. Ipapo handizovi nemhosva, ndisina mhaka yokudarika kukuru.
Also from presumptuous [sins] withhold thy servant; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from any great transgression.
14 Mashoko omuromo wangu nokurangarira kwomwoyo wangu ngazvifadze pamberi penyu, imi Jehovha, Dombo rangu noMudzikinuri wangu.
May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable before thee, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
