Mapisarema 41
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Akaropafadzwa uyo ane hanya navasina simba; Jehovha anomurwira panguva dzokutambudzika.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
2 Jehovha achamudzivirira uye achachengetedza upenyu hwake; achamuropafadza panyika uye haangamuisi kuchido chavavengi vake.
Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
3 Jehovha achamuraramisa panhoo yake yourwere uye achamuponesa panhoo yake yourwere.
Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
4 Ini ndakati, “Haiwa Jehovha, ndinzwirei ngoni; ndiporesei, nokuti ndakakutadzirai.”
I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'
5 Vavengi vangu vachindigodora vanoti, “Achafa riniko uye zita rake rigoparara?”
Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
6 Kana mumwe achiuya kuzondiona, anotaura zvenhema, mwoyo uchiunganidza makuhwa; ipapo anobuda ondozviparadzira kumwe.
And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
7 Vavengi vangu vose vanoita zevezeve pamwe chete pamusoro pangu; vanondifungira zvakaipisisa, vachiti,
All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
8 “Chirwere chakaipa chakamubata, haachambomukizve panzvimbo paakarara.”
A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
9 Kunyange neshamwari yangu yapedyo yandaivimba nayo, yandaigovana zvokudya nayo, yandisimudzira chitsitsinho chayo.
Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
10 Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, mune tsitsi neni, ndisimudzei, kuti ndivatsive.
And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
11 Ndinoziva kuti munofadzwa neni, nokuti muvengi wangu haandikundi.
By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
12 Munonditsigira pakutendeka kwangu, uye munondiisa pamberi penyu nokusingaperi.
As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
13 Kurumbidzwa ngakuve kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira nokusingaperi.
Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
