Mapisarema 35
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, kakavadzanai navanokakavadzana neni; rwisai avo vanondirwisa.
Of David. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.
2 Torai nhoo huru neduku; simukai, uye uyai mundibatsire.
Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
3 Vheyesai pfumo guru nepfumo diki murwise avo vanonditevera. Muti kumweya wangu, “Ndini ruponeso rwako.”
Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
4 Vanotsvaka kundiuraya ngavazvidzwe uye vanyadziswe; vanorangana kuparadzwa kwangu ngavadzoserwe shure vachitya.
May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
5 Ngavaite sehundi pamberi pemhepo, mutumwa waJehovha achivasundira kure;
May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
6 nzira yavo ngaisvibe uye itsvedze, mutumwa waJehovha achivateverera.
May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
7 Sezvo vakandivanzira mimbure yavo ndisina mhosva, uye vakandicherera gomba ndisina mhosva,
For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
8 kuparadzwa ngakuvawire pakarepo, mumbure wavakavanza ngauvapinge ivo, ngavawire mugomba ravo vaparare.
May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
9 Ipapo mweya wangu uchafara muna Jehovha, uye uchafarira ruponeso rwake.
Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
10 Zvandiri zvose zvichadanidzira zvichiti: “Ndianiko akaita semi, Jehovha? Munonunura varombo kubva kuna avo vane simba kupinda ravo.”
All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
11 Zvapupu zvino utsinye zvinouya mberi; zvinondibvunza pamusoro pezvinhu zvandisingazivi.
Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
12 Vanotsiva zvakanaka zvangu nezvakaipa, uye vanosiya mweya wangu uchidzungaira.
They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
13 Asi pavairwara, ndakafuka nguo dzamasaga ndikazvininipisa nokutsanya. Munyengetero wangu pawakadzokera kwandiri usina mhinduro,
Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
14 ndakafamba-famba ndichichema kunge ndinochemera shamwari yangu kana hama yangu. Ndakakotamisa musoro wangu ndichichema, sokunge ndinochema mai vangu.
I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
15 Asi pandakagumburwa, vakaungana vachifara; varwi vakaungana kuzondirwisa ndisingazivi. Vakandireva vasingaregi.
But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
16 Savanhu vasina Mwari vakandiseka muruvengo rwavo; vakandirumanyira meno avo.
Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 Haiwa Jehovha, muchasvika riniko makangotarira? Nunurai upenyu hwangu kubva pakuparadza kwavo, noupenyu hwangu hunokosha kubva pashumba idzi.
How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
18 Ndichakuvongai paungano huru; ndichakurumbidzai pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
19 Ngavarege kufara pamusoro pangu avo vanondivenga ndisina mhosva; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva ngavarege kuchonyerana meso avo mukundivenga.
Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
20 Havatauri norugare, asi vanofunga kupomera mhosva pamusoro pavanogara norunyararo munyika.
For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
21 Vanondishamira miromo yavo vachiti, “Hekani waro! Hekani waro! Tazviona nameso edu.”
They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
22 Haiwa Jehovha, mazviona izvi; regai kunyarara. Regai kuva kure neni, imi Ishe.
O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Mukai uye simukai mundirwire! Ndirwirei, Mwari wangu naIshe wangu.
Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 Ndiruramisirei mukururama kwenyu, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu; musarega vachifara pamusoro pangu.
Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.
25 Musarega vachifunga mumwoyo mavo vachiti, “Hekani waro, ndizvo zvatanga tichida!” kana kuti vati, “Tamumedza chose.”
Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
26 Vose vanofarira kutambudzika kwangu ngavanyadziswe uye vanyonganiswe; vose vanozvisimudzira pamusoro pangu ngavafukidzwe nenyadzi nokuzvidzwa.
May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.
27 Vose vanofarira kururamisirwa kwangu ngavapembere nomufaro nokufarisisa; ngavarambe vachiti, “Jehovha ngaakudzwe, iye anofarira kugara zvakanaka kwavaranda vake.”
May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”
28 Rurimi rwangu ruchataura zvokururama kwenyu, uye nezvokurumbidzwa kwenyu zuva rose.
Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.
