< Mapisarema 37 >
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Usava neshungu nokuda kwavanhu vakaipa, uye usaitira godo avo vanoita zvakaipa;
ElikaDavida. Ungazikhathazi ngabantu ababi loba uhawukele labo abenza okungalunganga;
2 nokuti souswa vachaoma nokukurumidza, somuriwo wakasvibira vachakurumidza kuoma.
ngoba bazabuna masinyane njengotshani, njengezimila eziluhlaza bazakufa masinyane.
3 Vimba naJehovha uite zvakanaka; gara panyika ufarikane pamafuro manyoro.
Themba kuThixo wenze okulungileyo; hlala elizweni ukholise amadlelo amahle.
4 Farikana muna Jehovha, uye iye achakupa zvinodikanwa nomwoyo wako.
Zithokozise kuThixo Yena uzakupha izifiso zenhliziyo yakho.
5 Isa nzira yako kuna Jehovha; uvimbe naye uye iye achaita izvi;
Nikela indlela zakho kuThixo; themba kuye, Yena uzakwenzela lokhu:
6 achaita kuti kururama kwako kupenye samambakwedza, nokururamisirwa kwako sezuva ramasikati.
Uzakwenza ukulunga kwakho kukhazimule njengentathakusa, ubuqotho balokho okulwelayo njengelanga lemini enkulu.
7 Nyarara pamberi paJehovha, umurindire unyerere; usava neshungu kana vanhu vachibudirira panzira dzavo, pavanoita mano avo akaipa avakaronga.
Chuma phambi kukaThixo umlindele ngesineke; ungakhathazeki nxa abantu bephumelela ngezindlela zabo, nxa bephutshisa amaqhinga abo amabi.
8 Rega kutsamwa, uzvidzore pahasha; usava neshungu zvinokutungamirira mune zvakaipa.
Xwayana lokuzonda njalo ufulathele intukuthelo; ungakhathazeki, kukhokhelela ebubini kuphela.
9 Nokuti vasakarurama vachagurwa, asi avo vanomirira Jehovha vachagara nhaka yenyika.
Ngoba abantu ababi bazasuswa, kodwa labo abathemba uThixo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe.
10 Chinguva chiduku duku, vakaipa havachazovapozve; kunyange ukavatsvaka, havazowanikwi.
Kuseyisikhatshana nje, ababi bazabe bengasekho; loba usubadinga kabasayikufunyanwa.
11 Asi vanyoro vachagara nhaka yenyika, uye vachafarikana norugare rukuru.
Kodwa abathobekileyo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe njalo bakholise ukuthula okukhulu.
12 Vakaipa vanofungira vakarurama mano akaipa, uye vanovarumanyira meno avo.
Ababi baceba ukulimaza abalungileyo babagedlele amazinyo;
13 Asi Ishe anoseka vakaipa nokuti anoziva kuti zuva ravo riri kuuya.
kodwa iNkosi iyabahleka ababi, ngoba iyazi ukuthi usuku lwabo luyeza.
14 Vakaipa vanovhomora munondo uye vanowembura uta kuti vawisire pasi varombo navanoshayiwa, kuti vauraye avo vane nzira dzakarurama.
Ababi bakhokha inkemba, badonsa idandili ngenhloso yokulimaza abahluphekayo labaswelayo, lokubulala labo abahamba ngokulunga.
15 Asi minondo yavo ichabaya mwoyo yavo pachavo, uye uta hwavo huchavhunika.
Kodwa izinkemba zabo zizagwaza ezabo inhliziyo, lamadandili abo azakwephulwa.
16 Zvishoma zvowakarurama zviri nani kupinda pfuma yavakaipa vazhinji;
Kungcono ingcosana leyo abalayo abalungileyo kulenotho yababi abanengi;
17 nokuti simba ravakaipa richavhuniwa, asi Jehovha anotsigira vakarurama.
ngoba amandla ababi azaqedwa, kodwa uThixo uyabaxhasa abalungileyo.
18 Mazuva avakarurama anozivikanwa naJehovha, uye nhaka yavo ichagara nokusingaperi.
Insuku zabangelasici ziyaziwa nguThixo, ilifa labo lizakuma lanini.
19 Panguva yamatambudziko, havanganyadziswi; mumazuva enzara ivo vachava nezvakawanda.
Ngezikhathi zomonakalo abayikubuna; ngezikhathi zendlala bazasutha.
20 Asi vakaipa vachaparara: vavengi vaJehovha vachafanana norunako rweminda, vachanyangarika soutsi.
Kodwa ababi bazabhubha; izitha zikaThixo zinjengobuhle beganga, zizanyamalala, zinyamalale njengentuthu.
21 Vakaipa vanokwereta uye havadzori, asi vakarurama vanopa zvakawanda;
Ababi bayaboleka kodwa kababuyiseli, kodwa abalungileyo bayapha kakhulu;
22 avo vanoropafadzwa naJehovha vachagara nhaka yenyika, asi avo vaanotuka vachaparadzwa.
labo uThixo ababusisayo bazakudla ilifa lelizwe; kodwa labo abathukayo bazasuswa.
23 Kana Jehovha achifarira nzira yomunhu, anosimbisa mafambiro ake;
Nxa uThixo ethokoziswa yikuhamba komuntu, uyaqinisa izinyathelo zakhe;
24 kunyange akagumburwa, haangawi, nokuti Jehovha anomutsigira noruoko rwake.
loba angakhubeka, kayikuwa, ngoba uThixo uyamsekela ngesandla sakhe.
25 Ndakanga ndiri muduku uye zvino ndakwegura, asi handina kumboona vakarurama vachiraswa, kana vana vavo vachipemha chingwa.
Ngangimutsha, manje sengiluphele, kodwa angizange ngibone abalungileyo bedelwa loba abantwababo becela isinkwa.
26 Vanogara vachingopa vamwe, uye vachikweretesa pasina muripo; vana vavo vacharopafadzwa.
Bayaphana kokuphela njalo bayebolekana nje; abantwababo bazabusiswa.
27 Dzoka pane zvakaipa ugoita zvakanaka; ipapo uchagara panyika nokusingaperi.
Phendukani ebubini lenze ukulunga lapho-ke lizahlala elizweni nini lanini.
28 Nokuti Jehovha anoda vanoruramisira uye haangazosiyi vanhu vake vakatendeka. Vachadzivirirwa nokusingaperi; asi vana vowakaipa vachaparadzwa;
Ngoba uThixo uthanda abalungileyo njalo kayikubadela abathembekileyo bakhe. Bazavikelwa kuze kube nini lanini kodwa inzalo yababi izalahlwa;
29 vakarurama vachagara nhaka yenyika uye vachagara mairi nokusingaperi.
abalungileyo bazazuza ilifa lelizwe bahlale kulo lanini.
30 Muromo womunhu akarurama unotaura uchenjeri, uye rurimi rwake runotaura kururamisira.
Umlomo womuntu olungileyo ukhuluma ukuhlakanipha, lolimi lwakhe lukhuluma okuqondileyo.
31 Murayiro waMwari wake uri pamwoyo wake; tsoka dzake hadzitedzemuki.
Umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakhe usenhliziyweni yakhe; inyawo zakhe kazitsheleli.
32 Vakaipa vanovandira vakarurama, vachitsvaka upenyu hwavo chaihwo;
Ababi bacathamela abalungileyo befuna impilo yabo qobo lwayo;
33 asi Jehovha haangavasiyi vari musimba ravo, kana kuvarega vachipomerwa kana vamira pakutongwa.
kodwa uThixo kayikubayekela bazenzele abakuthandayo kubo kumbe balahlwe licala nxa bethonisiswa.
34 Rindira Jehovha, uye uchengete nzira yake. Achakusimudzira kuti ugare nhaka yenyika; kana vakaipa voparadzwa, iwe uchazviona.
Lindelani uThixo ligcine indlela yakhe. Uzaliphakamisa lilithathe ilifa lelizwe; lizakubona lokhu nxa ababi sebesusiwe.
35 Ndakaona munhu akaipa uye ano utsinye achibudirira somuti wakasvibira pavhu romunyika yawo,
Sengike ngabona umuntu omubi olesihluku kulokubhadala ehluma njengesihlahla, esikhula kuhle emhlabathini waso wemvelo,
36 asi nokukurumidza akapfuura uye akasazovapozve; kunyange ndakamutsvaka, haana kuzowanikwa.
kodwa waphanga wafa kabe esabakhona; ngathi loba sengimdinga ngamswela.
37 Cherechedza asina mhosva, ongorora akarurama; ane ramangwana rakanaka munhu worugare.
Nanzelela abangelecala, qaphela abaqotho. Likhona ikusasa kumuntu wokuthula.
38 Asi vatadzi vose vachaparadzwa; ramangwana rowakaipa richagurwa.
Kodwa zonke izoni zizabhujiswa; ikusasa lezigangi lizasuswa.
39 Ruponeso rwavakarurama runobva kuna Jehovha; ndiye nhare yavo panguva yamatambudziko.
Ukusindiswa kwabalungileyo kuvela kuThixo; uyinqaba yabo ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka.
40 Jehovha anovabatsira uye anovanunura; anovanunura kubva kuna vakaipa uye anovaponesa, nokuti vanovanda maari.
UThixo uyabasiza abakhulule; abakhulule kwababi abasindise, ngoba baphephela kuye.
