Mapisarema 41
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Akaropafadzwa uyo ane hanya navasina simba; Jehovha anomurwira panguva dzokutambudzika.
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:
2 Jehovha achamudzivirira uye achachengetedza upenyu hwake; achamuropafadza panyika uye haangamuisi kuchido chavavengi vake.
Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!
3 Jehovha achamuraramisa panhoo yake yourwere uye achamuponesa panhoo yake yourwere.
Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.
4 Ini ndakati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni; ndiporesei, nokuti ndakakutadzirai.”
I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:
5 Vavengi vangu vachindigodora vanoti, “Achafa riniko uye zita rake rigoparara?”
Mine enemies, speak ill 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 have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.
7 Vavengi vangu vose vanoita zevezeve pamwe chete pamusoro pangu; vanondifungira zvakaipisisa, vachiti,
Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.
8 “Chirwere chakaipa chakamubata, haachambomukizve panzvimbo paakarara.”
An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.
9 Kunyange neshamwari yangu yapedyo yandaivimba nayo, yandaigovana zvokudya nayo, yandisimudzira chitsitsinho chayo.
Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel against me!
10 Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, mune tsitsi neni, ndisimudzei, kuti ndivatsive.
But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.
11 Ndinoziva kuti munofadzwa neni, nokuti muvengi wangu haandikundi.
Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.
12 Munonditsigira pakutendeka kwangu, uye munondiisa pamberi penyu nokusingaperi.
But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.
13 Kurumbidzwa ngakuve kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira nokusingaperi.
Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
