Mapisarema 35
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, kakavadzanai navanokakavadzana neni; rwisai avo vanondirwisa.
By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
2 Torai nhoo huru neduku; simukai, uye uyai mundibatsire.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
3 Vheyesai pfumo guru nepfumo diki murwise avo vanonditevera. Muti kumweya wangu, “Ndini ruponeso rwako.”
And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I [am].'
4 Vanotsvaka kundiuraya ngavazvidzwe uye vanyadziswe; vanorangana kuparadzwa kwangu ngavadzoserwe shure vachitya.
They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
5 Ngavaite sehundi pamberi pemhepo, mutumwa waJehovha achivasundira kure;
They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
6 nzira yavo ngaisvibe uye itsvedze, mutumwa waJehovha achivateverera.
Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
7 Sezvo vakandivanzira mimbure yavo ndisina mhosva, uye vakandicherera gomba ndisina mhosva,
For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
8 kuparadzwa ngakuvawire pakarepo, mumbure wavakavanza ngauvapinge ivo, ngavawire mugomba ravo vaparare.
Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
9 Ipapo mweya wangu uchafara muna Jehovha, uye uchafarira ruponeso rwake.
And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
10 Zvandiri zvose zvichadanidzira zvichiti: “Ndianiko akaita semi, Jehovha? Munonunura varombo kubva kuna avo vane simba kupinda ravo.”
All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
11 Zvapupu zvino utsinye zvinouya mberi; zvinondibvunza pamusoro pezvinhu zvandisingazivi.
Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
12 Vanotsiva zvakanaka zvangu nezvakaipa, uye vanosiya mweya wangu uchidzungaira.
They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
13 Asi pavairwara, ndakafuka nguo dzamasaga ndikazvininipisa nokutsanya. Munyengetero wangu pawakadzokera kwandiri usina mhinduro,
And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
14 ndakafamba-famba ndichichema kunge ndinochemera shamwari yangu kana hama yangu. Ndakakotamisa musoro wangu ndichichema, sokunge ndinochema mai vangu.
As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
15 Asi pandakagumburwa, vakaungana vachifara; varwi vakaungana kuzondirwisa ndisingazivi. Vakandireva vasingaregi.
And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
16 Savanhu vasina Mwari vakandiseka muruvengo rwavo; vakandirumanyira meno avo.
With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
17 Haiwa Jehovha, muchasvika riniko makangotarira? Nunurai upenyu hwangu kubva pakuparadza kwavo, noupenyu hwangu hunokosha kubva pashumba idzi.
Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
18 Ndichakuvongai paungano huru; ndichakurumbidzai pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
19 Ngavarege kufara pamusoro pangu avo vanondivenga ndisina mhosva; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva ngavarege kuchonyerana meso avo mukundivenga.
Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
20 Havatauri norugare, asi vanofunga kupomera mhosva pamusoro pavanogara norunyararo munyika.
For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
21 Vanondishamira miromo yavo vachiti, “Hekani waro! Hekani waro! Tazviona nameso edu.”
And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
22 Haiwa Jehovha, mazviona izvi; regai kunyarara. Regai kuva kure neni, imi Ishe.
Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,
23 Mukai uye simukai mundirwire! Ndirwirei, Mwari wangu naIshe wangu.
Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
24 Ndiruramisirei mukururama kwenyu, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu; musarega vachifara pamusoro pangu.
Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
25 Musarega vachifunga mumwoyo mavo vachiti, “Hekani waro, ndizvo zvatanga tichida!” kana kuti vati, “Tamumedza chose.”
They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
26 Vose vanofarira kutambudzika kwangu ngavanyadziswe uye vanyonganiswe; vose vanozvisimudzira pamusoro pangu ngavafukidzwe nenyadzi nokuzvidzwa.
They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
27 Vose vanofarira kururamisirwa kwangu ngavapembere nomufaro nokufarisisa; ngavarambe vachiti, “Jehovha ngaakudzwe, iye anofarira kugara zvakanaka kwavaranda vake.”
They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
28 Rurimi rwangu ruchataura zvokururama kwenyu, uye nezvokurumbidzwa kwenyu zuva rose.
And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
