Mapisarema 38
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Chikumbiro. Haiwa Jehovha, musandirayira mukutsamwa kwenyu kana kundiranga muhasha dzenyu.
Adonai, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
2 Nokuti miseve yenyu yandibaya, uye ruoko rwenyu rwawira pamusoro pangu.
For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
3 Mumuviri mangu hamuchina utano nokuda kwehasha dzenyu; mapfupa angu apera simba nokuda kwechivi changu.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my habitual sin ·missing the mark·.
4 Mhosva yangu yandiremera somutoro unorema kwazvo kuutakura.
For my depravities (moral evils) have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 Maronda angu aora uye anosemesa nokuda kwoupenzi hwokutadza kwangu.
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6 Ndakotamiswa uye ndaderedzwa kwazvo; ndinofamba ndichichema zuva rose.
I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
7 Musana wangu wazara nokupisa kunorwadza; muviri wangu hauchina utano.
For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Ndarukutika uye ndapwanyika chose; ndiri kugomera nokurwadza kwomwoyo.
I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
9 Haiwa Ishe, zvose zvandinoshuva zviri pachena pamberi penyu, kugomera kwangu hakuna kuvanzika kwamuri.
Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
10 Hana yangu inorova, simba rangu rapera; kunyange nechiedza chabva pameso angu.
My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
11 Shamwari dzangu navafambidzani vondinzvenga nokuda kwamaronda angu; vavakidzani vangu vanogara kure neni.
My 'ahav ·affectionate lovers· and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
12 Avo vanotsvaka kundiuraya vanonditeya nemisungo yavo, avo vanoda kundikuvadza vanotaura nezvokuparadzwa kwangu; zuva rose vanorangana zvounyengeri.
They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
13 Ini ndafanana nematsi, isinganzwi, sembeveve, isingagoni kushamisa muromo wayo;
But I, as a deaf man, don’t sh'ma ·hear obey·. I am as a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14 ndava somunhu asinganzwi, ano muromo usingapinduri.
Yes, I am as a man who does not sh'ma ·hear obey·, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 Haiwa Jehovha, ndakakumirirai; muchapindura, imi Ishe Mwari wangu.
For in you, Adonai, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
16 Nokuti ndakati, “Musavarega vachifarira kutambudzika kwangu kana kuzvisimudzira pamusoro pangu, rutsoka rwangu parunotedzemuka.”
For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17 Nokuti ndava pedyo nokuwa, uye kurwadziwa kwangu kunogara neni.
For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18 Ndinoreurura chivi changu; chivi changu chinonditambudza.
For I will declare my depravity (moral evil). I will be sorry for my habitual sin ·missing the mark·.
19 Vavengi vangu vane simba vazhinji; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva vakawanda.
But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Ivavo vanotsiva zvakanaka zvangu nezvakaipa, vanondireva pandinotevera zvakanaka.
They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
21 Haiwa Jehovha, regai kundisiya; regai kuva kure neni, imi Mwari wangu.
Don’t forsake me, Adonai. My God, don’t be far from me.
22 Haiwa Ishe Muponesi wangu, kurumidzai kuuya kuzondibatsira.
Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
