Mapisarema 37
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Usava neshungu nokuda kwavanhu vakaipa, uye usaitira godo avo vanoita zvakaipa;
[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2 nokuti souswa vachaoma nokukurumidza, somuriwo wakasvibira vachakurumidza kuoma.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Vimba naJehovha uite zvakanaka; gara panyika ufarikane pamafuro manyoro.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and follow after faithfulness.
4 Farikana muna Jehovha, uye iye achakupa zvinodikanwa nomwoyo wako.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Isa nzira yako kuna Jehovha; uvimbe naye uye iye achaita izvi;
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
6 achaita kuti kururama kwako kupenye samambakwedza, nokururamisirwa kwako sezuva ramasikati.
Add he shall make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Nyarara pamberi paJehovha, umurindire unyerere; usava neshungu kana vanhu vachibudirira panzira dzavo, pavanoita mano avo akaipa avakaronga.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Rega kutsamwa, uzvidzore pahasha; usava neshungu zvinokutungamirira mune zvakaipa.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.
9 Nokuti vasakarurama vachagurwa, asi avo vanomirira Jehovha vachagara nhaka yenyika.
For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
10 Chinguva chiduku duku, vakaipa havachazovapozve; kunyange ukavatsvaka, havazowanikwi.
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
11 Asi vanyoro vachagara nhaka yenyika, uye vachafarikana norugare rukuru.
But the meek shall inherit the land; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Vakaipa vanofungira vakarurama mano akaipa, uye vanovarumanyira meno avo.
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 Asi Ishe anoseka vakaipa nokuti anoziva kuti zuva ravo riri kuuya.
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 Vakaipa vanovhomora munondo uye vanowembura uta kuti vawisire pasi varombo navanoshayiwa, kuti vauraye avo vane nzira dzakarurama.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as be upright in the way:
15 Asi minondo yavo ichabaya mwoyo yavo pachavo, uye uta hwavo huchavhunika.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Zvishoma zvowakarurama zviri nani kupinda pfuma yavakaipa vazhinji;
Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17 nokuti simba ravakaipa richavhuniwa, asi Jehovha anotsigira vakarurama.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 Mazuva avakarurama anozivikanwa naJehovha, uye nhaka yavo ichagara nokusingaperi.
The LORD knoweth the days of the perfect: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Panguva yamatambudziko, havanganyadziswi; mumazuva enzara ivo vachava nezvakawanda.
They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 Asi vakaipa vachaparara: vavengi vaJehovha vachafanana norunako rweminda, vachanyangarika soutsi.
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the excellency of the pastures: they shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.
21 Vakaipa vanokwereta uye havadzori, asi vakarurama vanopa zvakawanda;
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22 avo vanoropafadzwa naJehovha vachagara nhaka yenyika, asi avo vaanotuka vachaparadzwa.
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the land; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 Kana Jehovha achifarira nzira yomunhu, anosimbisa mafambiro ake;
A man’s goings are established of the LORD; and he delighteth in his way.
24 kunyange akagumburwa, haangawi, nokuti Jehovha anomutsigira noruoko rwake.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25 Ndakanga ndiri muduku uye zvino ndakwegura, asi handina kumboona vakarurama vachiraswa, kana vana vavo vachipemha chingwa.
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging [their] bread.
26 Vanogara vachingopa vamwe, uye vachikweretesa pasina muripo; vana vavo vacharopafadzwa.
All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Dzoka pane zvakaipa ugoita zvakanaka; ipapo uchagara panyika nokusingaperi.
Depart from evil, and do good; dwell for evermore.
28 Nokuti Jehovha anoda vanoruramisira uye haangazosiyi vanhu vake vakatendeka. Vachadzivirirwa nokusingaperi; asi vana vowakaipa vachaparadzwa;
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 vakarurama vachagara nhaka yenyika uye vachagara mairi nokusingaperi.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 Muromo womunhu akarurama unotaura uchenjeri, uye rurimi rwake runotaura kururamisira.
The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment.
31 Murayiro waMwari wake uri pamwoyo wake; tsoka dzake hadzitedzemuki.
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 Vakaipa vanovandira vakarurama, vachitsvaka upenyu hwavo chaihwo;
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 asi Jehovha haangavasiyi vari musimba ravo, kana kuvarega vachipomerwa kana vamira pakutongwa.
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Rindira Jehovha, uye uchengete nzira yake. Achakusimudzira kuti ugare nhaka yenyika; kana vakaipa voparadzwa, iwe uchazviona.
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 Ndakaona munhu akaipa uye ano utsinye achibudirira somuti wakasvibira pavhu romunyika yawo,
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 asi nokukurumidza akapfuura uye akasazovapozve; kunyange ndakamutsvaka, haana kuzowanikwa.
But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Cherechedza asina mhosva, ongorora akarurama; ane ramangwana rakanaka munhu worugare.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the latter end of [that] man is peace.
38 Asi vatadzi vose vachaparadzwa; ramangwana rowakaipa richagurwa.
As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: the latter end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Ruponeso rwavakarurama runobva kuna Jehovha; ndiye nhare yavo panguva yamatambudziko.
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strong hold in the time of trouble.
40 Jehovha anovabatsira uye anovanunura; anovanunura kubva kuna vakaipa uye anovaponesa, nokuti vanovanda maari.
And the LORD helpeth them, and rescueth them: he rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in him.
