Mapisarema 31
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinovanda mamuri, imi Jehovha; itai kuti ndisatombonyadziswa; ndirwirei mukururama kwenyu.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” In thee, O LORD! do I trust; let me never be put to shame; According to thy goodness deliver me!
2 Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri, kurumidzai kundinunura; ivai dombo rangu rokuvanda, nhare yakasimba inondiponesa.
Bow down thine ear to me; help me speedily! Be to me a strong rock, a high fortress, for my deliverance!
3 Sezvo murimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu, nditungamirirei uye mundisesedze nokuda kwezita renyu.
For thou art my rock and my high fortress; Be thou also my guide, and lead me, for thy name's sake!
4 Ndisunungurei pamusungo wandakadzikirwa, nokuti imi muri utiziro hwangu.
Draw me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For thou art my strength!
5 Ndinoisa mweya wangu mumaoko enyu; ndidzikinurei, imi Jehovha, Mwari wechokwadi.
Into thy hand I commit my life; Thou wilt deliver me, O LORD, thou God of truth!
6 Ndinovenga vanonamatira kuzvifananidzo zvisina maturo; ndinovimba naJehovha.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, And put my trust in the LORD.
7 Ndichafara nokufarisisa murudo rwenyu, nokuti makaona kutambudzika kwangu mukaziva kurwadziwa kwomwoyo wangu.
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy, That thou hast looked upon my trouble, And hast had regard to my distress;
8 Hamuna kundiisa kumuvengi, asi makamisa tsoka dzangu panzvimbo yakafarikana.
That thou hast not given me up to the hands of my enemies, But hast set my feet in a wide place.
9 Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni nokuti ndine nhamo; meso angu aneta nokuchema, mwoyo wangu nomuviri wangu zvarwadziwa.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD! for I am in trouble! My face is consumed with grief; Yea, my spirit and my body.
10 Upenyu hwangu hwopera nokurwadziwa, uye namakore angu nokugomera; simba rangu rapera nokuda kwokutambudzika kwangu, uye mapfupa angu arukutika.
For my life is wasted with sorrow, And my years with sighing; My strength faileth by reason of my affliction, And my bones are consumed on account of all my enemies.
11 Nokuda kwavavengi vangu, ndava chinhu chinovengwa navavakidzani vangu; ndava chinhu chinotyisa kushamwari dzangu; vanondiona munzira dzomumisha vanonditiza.
I have become the scorn of my neighbors, And the terror of my acquaintance; They who see me abroad flee from me.
12 Ndakanganwikwa navo sendakafa; ndafanana nehari yakaputsika,
I am forgotten like a dead man out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.
13 nokuti ndinonzwa guhwa ravazhinji; kumativi ose kune zvinotyisa; vanorangana pamusoro pangu uye vanoronga kundiuraya.
I hear the slander of many; fear is on every side; For they take counsel together against me; They devise to take away my life.
14 Asi ndinovimba nemi, imi Jehovha; ndinoti, “Ndimi Mwari wangu.”
But I trust in thee, O Jehovah! I say, “Thou art my God!”
15 Nguva dzangu dziri mumaoko enyu; ndirwirei kuvavengi vangu nokuna avo vanonditeverera.
My destiny is in thy hand; Deliver me from the power of my enemies and persecutors!
16 Chiso chenyu ngachipenye pamusoro pomuranda wenyu; ndiponesei norudo rwenyu rusingaperi.
Let thy face shine upon thy servant, And save me through thy mercy!
17 Haiwa Jehovha, itai kuti ndisanyadziswa, nokuti ndakadana kwamuri; asi vakaipa ngavanyadziswe uye vavate vakati mwiro muguva. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be put to shame, O LORD! for I have called upon thee; Let the wicked be put to shame; Let them be silenced in the grave! (Sheol h7585)
18 Miromo yavo inoreva nhema ngainyaradzwe, nokuti vanotaura namanyawi nokuzvikudza pamusoro pavakarurama.
Let lying lips be put to silence, Which speak proud things against the righteous, With haughtiness and contempt!
19 Haiwa, kunaka kwenyu kukuru sei, kwamakachengetera vaya vanokutyai, kwamunoisa pamberi pavanhu, pamusoro paivo vanovanda mamuri.
O how great is thy goodness, which thou treasurest up for them that fear thee; Which thou showest to them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
20 Mukudzivirira kwokuvapo kwenyu munovavanza kubva parangano dzavanhu; munovachengeta zvakanaka pamunogara kubva pandimi dzinopomera.
Thou hidest them in the secret place of thy presence from the machinations of men; Thou shelterest them in thy pavilion from the violence of tongues.
21 Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, nokuti akaratidza rudo rwake runoshamisa kwandiri pandakanga ndiri muguta rakakombwa.
Praised be the LORD; for he hath shown me his wonderful kindness, As in a fortified city!
22 Mukuvhunduka kwangu, ndakati, “Ndabviswa pamberi penyu!” Asi makanzwa kuchemera nyasha kwangu pandakadanidzira kwamuri ndichida rubatsiro.
I said in my distress, “I am cut off from before thine eyes;” But thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, When I cried unto thee.
23 Idai Jehovha, imi vatsvene mose! Jehovha anochengetedza vakatendeka, asi anotsiva zvizere vanozvikudza.
O love the LORD, all ye his servants; For the LORD preserveth the faithful, And requiteth the proud in full measure!
24 Simbai uye mutsunge mwoyo, imi mose munorindira Jehovha.
Be of good courage; let your hearts be strong, All ye who trust in the LORD!
