Mapisarema 35
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, kakavadzanai navanokakavadzana neni; rwisai avo vanondirwisa.
For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
2 Torai nhoo huru neduku; simukai, uye uyai mundibatsire.
Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
3 Vheyesai pfumo guru nepfumo diki murwise avo vanonditevera. Muti kumweya wangu, “Ndini ruponeso rwako.”
Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
4 Vanotsvaka kundiuraya ngavazvidzwe uye vanyadziswe; vanorangana kuparadzwa kwangu ngavadzoserwe shure vachitya.
Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
5 Ngavaite sehundi pamberi pemhepo, mutumwa waJehovha achivasundira kure;
Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
6 nzira yavo ngaisvibe uye itsvedze, mutumwa waJehovha achivateverera.
Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 Sezvo vakandivanzira mimbure yavo ndisina mhosva, uye vakandicherera gomba ndisina mhosva,
For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
8 kuparadzwa ngakuvawire pakarepo, mumbure wavakavanza ngauvapinge ivo, ngavawire mugomba ravo vaparare.
Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
9 Ipapo mweya wangu uchafara muna Jehovha, uye uchafarira ruponeso rwake.
But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
10 Zvandiri zvose zvichadanidzira zvichiti: “Ndianiko akaita semi, Jehovha? Munonunura varombo kubva kuna avo vane simba kupinda ravo.”
All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
11 Zvapupu zvino utsinye zvinouya mberi; zvinondibvunza pamusoro pezvinhu zvandisingazivi.
Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
12 Vanotsiva zvakanaka zvangu nezvakaipa, uye vanosiya mweya wangu uchidzungaira.
They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
13 Asi pavairwara, ndakafuka nguo dzamasaga ndikazvininipisa nokutsanya. Munyengetero wangu pawakadzokera kwandiri usina mhinduro,
But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
14 ndakafamba-famba ndichichema kunge ndinochemera shamwari yangu kana hama yangu. Ndakakotamisa musoro wangu ndichichema, sokunge ndinochema mai vangu.
As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
15 Asi pandakagumburwa, vakaungana vachifara; varwi vakaungana kuzondirwisa ndisingazivi. Vakandireva vasingaregi.
But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
16 Savanhu vasina Mwari vakandiseka muruvengo rwavo; vakandirumanyira meno avo.
They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Haiwa Jehovha, muchasvika riniko makangotarira? Nunurai upenyu hwangu kubva pakuparadza kwavo, noupenyu hwangu hunokosha kubva pashumba idzi.
Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
18 Ndichakuvongai paungano huru; ndichakurumbidzai pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
19 Ngavarege kufara pamusoro pangu avo vanondivenga ndisina mhosva; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva ngavarege kuchonyerana meso avo mukundivenga.
Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
20 Havatauri norugare, asi vanofunga kupomera mhosva pamusoro pavanogara norunyararo munyika.
For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
21 Vanondishamira miromo yavo vachiti, “Hekani waro! Hekani waro! Tazviona nameso edu.”
And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
22 Haiwa Jehovha, mazviona izvi; regai kunyarara. Regai kuva kure neni, imi Ishe.
Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
23 Mukai uye simukai mundirwire! Ndirwirei, Mwari wangu naIshe wangu.
Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
24 Ndiruramisirei mukururama kwenyu, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu; musarega vachifara pamusoro pangu.
Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice 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: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
26 Vose vanofarira kutambudzika kwangu ngavanyadziswe uye vanyonganiswe; vose vanozvisimudzira pamusoro pangu ngavafukidzwe nenyadzi nokuzvidzwa.
Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.
27 Vose vanofarira kururamisirwa kwangu ngavapembere nomufaro nokufarisisa; ngavarambe vachiti, “Jehovha ngaakudzwe, iye anofarira kugara zvakanaka kwavaranda vake.”
Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
28 Rurimi rwangu ruchataura zvokururama kwenyu, uye nezvokurumbidzwa kwenyu zuva rose.
Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
