Mapisarema 28
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinodana kwamuri, imi Jehovha Dombo rangu; musandinyararira. Nokuti kana mukaramba munyerere, ini ndichaita savaya vakaburukira kugomba.
To thee, O Jehovah, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.
2 Inzwai kuchemera ngoni kwangu, sezvo ndichichemera rubatsiro kwamuri, sezvo ndichisimudza maoko angu ndakatarira kuNzvimbo yenyu Tsvene-tsvene.
Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
3 Musandikwekweredzera kure pamwe chete navakaipa, naavo vanoita zvakaipa, vanotaura rugare navavakidzani vavo asi vakaviga zvakaipa mumwoyo yavo.
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Vatsivei pamabasa avo napabasa ravo rakaipa, vatsivei pane zvakaitwa namaoko avo; mugodzosera pamusoro pavo zvakavafanira.
Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them after the operation of their hands. Render to them their recompense,
5 Sezvo vasina hanya namabasa aJehovha uye nezvakaitwa namaoko ake, achavaputsira pasi akasavavakazve.
because they regard not the works of Jehovah, nor the operation of his hands. He will break them down and not build them up.
6 Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, nokuti akanzwa kuchemera kwangu ngoni.
Blessed be Jehovah, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.
7 Jehovha ndiye simba rangu nenhoo yangu; mwoyo wangu unovimba naye, uye ndinobatsirwa. Mwoyo wangu unokwakuka nomufaro uye ndichamuvonga nenziyo.
Jehovah is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise him.
8 Jehovha ndiye simba ravanhu vake, nhare yoruponeso yomuzodziwa wake.
Jehovah is their strength, and he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9 Ponesai vanhu venyu uye muropafadze nhaka yenyu; ivai mufudzi wavo uye muvatakure nokusingaperi.
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
