Mapisarema 41
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Akaropafadzwa uyo ane hanya navasina simba; Jehovha anomurwira panguva dzokutambudzika.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Happy is he that careth for the poor: on the day of evil will the Lord deliver him.
2 Jehovha achamudzivirira uye achachengetedza upenyu hwake; achamuropafadza panyika uye haangamuisi kuchido chavavengi vake.
The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy on the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the revengeful desire of his enemies.
3 Jehovha achamuraramisa panhoo yake yourwere uye achamuponesa panhoo yake yourwere.
The Lord will sustain him upon the bed of painful disease: thou changest all his couch in his sickness.
4 Ini ndakati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni; ndiporesei, nokuti ndakakutadzirai.”
I said, Lord, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Vavengi vangu vachindigodora vanoti, “Achafa riniko uye zita rake rigoparara?”
My enemies speak evil of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
6 Kana mumwe achiuya kuzondiona, anotaura zvenhema, mwoyo uchiunganidza makuhwa; ipapo anobuda ondozviparadzira kumwe.
And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsely: his heart gathereth wickedness to itself; he goeth abroad [and] speaketh it.
7 Vavengi vangu vose vanoita zevezeve pamwe chete pamusoro pangu; vanondifungira zvakaipisisa, vachiti,
Altogether whisper against me all that hate me: against me do they devise my injury.
8 “Chirwere chakaipa chakamubata, haachambomukizve panzvimbo paakarara.”
“His godless deed [say they] is poured out over him: as he lieth there he will never more rise up again.”
9 Kunyange neshamwari yangu yapedyo yandaivimba nayo, yandaigovana zvokudya nayo, yandisimudzira chitsitsinho chayo.
Yea, even the man that should have sought my welfare, in whom I trusted, who eateth my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, mune tsitsi neni, ndisimudzei, kuti ndivatsive.
But thou, O Lord, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite it unto them.
11 Ndinoziva kuti munofadzwa neni, nokuti muvengi wangu haandikundi.
By this do I know that thou art pleased with me, that my enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 Munonditsigira pakutendeka kwangu, uye munondiisa pamberi penyu nokusingaperi.
But as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and placest me before thy presence for ever.
13 Kurumbidzwa ngakuve kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira nokusingaperi.
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. BEGIM
