Mapisarema 25
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha, ndinosimudzira mwoyo wangu kwamuri;
Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
2 haiwa Mwari wangu, ndinovimba nemi. Musandirega ndichinyadziswa, uye musarega vavengi vangu vachindikunda.
In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
3 Hapana munhu ane tariro mamuri achanyadziswa, asi vachanyadziswa avo vanonyengera pasina chikonzero.
Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
4 Ndiratidzei nzira dzenyu, imi Jehovha, ndidzidzisei nzira dzenyu;
Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.
5 nditungamirirei muzvokwadi yenyu mugondidzidzisa, nokuti ndimi Mwari Muponesi wangu, uye tariro yangu iri pamuri zuva rose.
Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.
6 Rangarirai, imi Jehovha, ngoni dzenyu huru norudo, nokuti zvakabvira kare.
Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
7 Regai kurangarira zvivi zvouduku hwangu, nenzira dzangu dzandaikumukirai nadzo; ndirangarirei nokuda kworudo rwenyu, nokuti makanaka, imi Jehovha.
The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
8 Jehovha akanaka uye akarurama; naizvozvo anodzidzisa vatadzi nzira dzake.
The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
9 Anotungamirira vanozvininipisa mune zvakarurama, uye anovadzidzisa nzira yake.
He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.
10 Nzira dzose dzaJehovha ndedzorudo nokutendeka, kuna avo vanochengeta zvirevo zvesungano yake.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Nokuda kwezita renyu, imi Jehovha, kanganwirai chakaipa changu, kunyange chiri chikuru.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.
12 Ndiani, zvino, munhu anotya Jehovha? Achamudzidzisa nzira yaakasarudzirwa.
Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.
13 Achararama upenyu hwake mukubudirira, uye zvizvarwa zvake zvichagara nhaka yenyika.
His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 Jehovha anogara pakati pavanomutya; anozivisa sungano yake kwavari.
The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
15 Meso angu anoramba achitarira kuna Jehovha, nokuti ndiye chete anosunungura tsoka dzangu pamusungo.
My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
16 Dzokerai kwandiri uye mundinzwire nyasha, nokuti ndiri ndoga uye ndinotambudzika.
Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
17 Matambudziko omwoyo wangu awanda; ndisunungurei pakurwadziwa kwangu.
The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.
18 Tarirai kutambudzika kwangu nenhamo yangu, mugobvisa zvivi zvangu zvose.
See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.
19 Tarirai kuwanda kwaita vavengi vangu, uye kuti vanondivenga zvakakura sei!
Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
20 Rindai upenyu hwangu mugondinunura; ndirege kunyadziswa, nokuti ndinovanda mamuri.
Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
21 Kusanyengera nokururama ngazvindichengete, nokuti tariro yangu iri mamuri.
The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.
22 Dzikinurai Israeri, imi Mwari, kuti vabve mumatambudziko avo ose!
Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
