Mapisarema 41
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Akaropafadzwa uyo ane hanya navasina simba; Jehovha anomurwira panguva dzokutambudzika.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that iudgeth wisely of the poore: the Lord shall deliuer him in ye time of trouble.
2 Jehovha achamudzivirira uye achachengetedza upenyu hwake; achamuropafadza panyika uye haangamuisi kuchido chavavengi vake.
The Lord will keepe him, and preserue him aliue: he shalbe blessed vpon the earth, and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies.
3 Jehovha achamuraramisa panhoo yake yourwere uye achamuponesa panhoo yake yourwere.
The Lord wil strengthen him vpon ye bed of sorow: thou hast turned al his bed in his sicknes.
4 Ini ndakati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni; ndiporesei, nokuti ndakakutadzirai.”
Therefore I saide, Lord haue mercie vpon me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.
5 Vavengi vangu vachindigodora vanoti, “Achafa riniko uye zita rake rigoparara?”
Mine enemies speake euill of me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 Kana mumwe achiuya kuzondiona, anotaura zvenhema, mwoyo uchiunganidza makuhwa; ipapo anobuda ondozviparadzira kumwe.
And if hee come to see mee, hee speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquitie within him, and when he commeth foorth, he telleth it.
7 Vavengi vangu vose vanoita zevezeve pamwe chete pamusoro pangu; vanondifungira zvakaipisisa, vachiti,
All they that hate me, whisper together against me: euen against me do they imagine mine hurt.
8 “Chirwere chakaipa chakamubata, haachambomukizve panzvimbo paakarara.”
A mischiefe is light vpon him, and he that lyeth, shall no more rise.
9 Kunyange neshamwari yangu yapedyo yandaivimba nayo, yandaigovana zvokudya nayo, yandisimudzira chitsitsinho chayo.
Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lifted vp the heele against me.
10 Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, mune tsitsi neni, ndisimudzei, kuti ndivatsive.
Therefore, O Lord, haue mercy vpon mee, and raise me vp: so I shall reward them.
11 Ndinoziva kuti munofadzwa neni, nokuti muvengi wangu haandikundi.
By this I know that thou fauourest me, because mine enemie doth not triumph against me.
12 Munonditsigira pakutendeka kwangu, uye munondiisa pamberi penyu nokusingaperi.
And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie, and doest set me before thy face for euer.
13 Kurumbidzwa ngakuve kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira nokusingaperi.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel worlde without ende. So be it, euen so be it.
