Mapisarema 19
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Matenga anotaura kubwinya kwaMwari; matenga anoparidza mabasa amaoko ake.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies make his handiwork known!
2 Zuva nezuva anotaura; usiku nousiku anoratidza zivo.
Day after day speech pours out; night after night it reveals knowledge.
3 Hakuna mutauro kana rurimi rusinganzwi inzwi ravo.
There is no speech or spoken words; their voice is not heard.
4 Inzwi razvo rinosvika panyika yose, mashoko azvo kumagumo apasi. Mumatenga imomo, akadzika tende rezuva,
Yet their words go out over all the earth, and their speech to the end of the world. He has pitched a tent for the sun among them.
5 rakaita sechikomba chinobuda mumba, seshasha inopemberera kumhanya nhangemutange.
The sun is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and like a strong man who rejoices when he runs his race.
6 Rinobuda kuno rumwe rutivi rwedenga richitenderera kusvikira kuno rumwe rutivi; hakuna chinhu chakavanzika kubva pakupisa kwaro.
The sun rises from the one horizon and crosses the sky to the other; nothing escapes its heat.
7 Murayiro waJehovha wakakwana, unomutsiridza mweya. Zvirevo zvaJehovha zvakavimbika, zvinopa njere kuna vasina mano.
The law of Yahweh is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Yahweh is reliable, making the simple wise.
8 Zvirevo zvaJehovha zvakarurama, zvinopa mufaro kumwoyo. Murayiro waJehovha unopenya, unopa chiedza kumaziso.
The instructions of Yahweh are right, making the heart glad; the commandment of Yahweh is pure, bringing light to the eyes.
9 Kutya Jehovha kwakanaka, kunogara nokusingaperi. Zvakatongwa naJehovha ndezvechokwadi uye zvose zvakarurama.
The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever; the righteous decrees of Yahweh are true and altogether right!
10 Zvinokosha kupfuura goridhe, kupfuura goridhe rakanatswa; zvinotapira kupfuura uchi, kupinda uchi hwabva muzinga.
They are of greater value than gold, even more than much fine gold; they are sweeter than honey and the dripping honey from the honeycomb.
11 Muranda wenyu anoyambirwa nazvo; pakuzvichengeta pano mubayiro mukuru.
Yes, by them your servant is warned; in obeying them there is great reward.
12 Ndianiko angaziva kukanganisa kwake? Ndikanganwirei mhosva dzangu dzakavanzika.
Who can discern all his own errors? Cleanse me from hidden faults.
13 Dzorai muranda wenyu kubva pakutadza nobwoni; ngazvirege kuva nesimba pamusoro pangu. Ipapo handizovi nemhosva, ndisina mhaka yokudarika kukuru.
Keep your servant also from arrogant sins; let them not rule over me. Then I will be perfect, and I will be innocent from many transgressions.
14 Mashoko omuromo wangu nokurangarira kwomwoyo wangu ngazvifadze pamberi penyu, imi Jehovha, Dombo rangu noMudzikinuri wangu.
May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.
