Mapisarema 25
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha, ndinosimudzira mwoyo wangu kwamuri;
[By David.] To you, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
2 haiwa Mwari wangu, ndinovimba nemi. Musandirega ndichinyadziswa, uye musarega vavengi vangu vachindikunda.
My God, I have trusted in you. Do not let me be shamed. Do not let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Hapana munhu ane tariro mamuri achanyadziswa, asi vachanyadziswa avo vanonyengera pasina chikonzero.
Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Ndiratidzei nzira dzenyu, imi Jehovha, ndidzidzisei nzira dzenyu;
Show me your ways, Jehovah. Teach me your paths.
5 nditungamirirei muzvokwadi yenyu mugondidzidzisa, nokuti ndimi Mwari Muponesi wangu, uye tariro yangu iri pamuri zuva rose.
Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.
6 Rangarirai, imi Jehovha, ngoni dzenyu huru norudo, nokuti zvakabvira kare.
Jehovah, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
7 Regai kurangarira zvivi zvouduku hwangu, nenzira dzangu dzandaikumukirai nadzo; ndirangarirei nokuda kworudo rwenyu, nokuti makanaka, imi Jehovha.
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, Jehovah.
8 Jehovha akanaka uye akarurama; naizvozvo anodzidzisa vatadzi nzira dzake.
Good and upright is Jehovah, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
9 Anotungamirira vanozvininipisa mune zvakarurama, uye anovadzidzisa nzira yake.
He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.
10 Nzira dzose dzaJehovha ndedzorudo nokutendeka, kuna avo vanochengeta zvirevo zvesungano yake.
All the paths of Jehovah are loving kindness and truth to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Nokuda kwezita renyu, imi Jehovha, kanganwirai chakaipa changu, kunyange chiri chikuru.
For your name's sake, Jehovah, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Ndiani, zvino, munhu anotya Jehovha? Achamudzidzisa nzira yaakasarudzirwa.
What man is he who fears Jehovah? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
13 Achararama upenyu hwake mukubudirira, uye zvizvarwa zvake zvichagara nhaka yenyika.
His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the land.
14 Jehovha anogara pakati pavanomutya; anozivisa sungano yake kwavari.
The friendship of Jehovah is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
15 Meso angu anoramba achitarira kuna Jehovha, nokuti ndiye chete anosunungura tsoka dzangu pamusungo.
My eyes are ever on Jehovah, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Dzokerai kwandiri uye mundinzwire nyasha, nokuti ndiri ndoga uye ndinotambudzika.
Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 Matambudziko omwoyo wangu awanda; ndisunungurei pakurwadziwa kwangu.
Relieve me from the distresses of my heart, and bring me out of my distresses.
18 Tarirai kutambudzika kwangu nenhamo yangu, mugobvisa zvivi zvangu zvose.
Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
19 Tarirai kuwanda kwaita vavengi vangu, uye kuti vanondivenga zvakakura sei!
Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Rindai upenyu hwangu mugondinunura; ndirege kunyadziswa, nokuti ndinovanda mamuri.
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
21 Kusanyengera nokururama ngazvindichengete, nokuti tariro yangu iri mamuri.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you, Jehovah.
22 Dzikinurai Israeri, imi Mwari, kuti vabve mumatambudziko avo ose!
Redeem Israel, God, from all of his troubles.
