Mapisarema 44
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba waVanakomana vaKora. Masikiri. Haiwa Mwari, takanzwa nenzeve dzedu; madzibaba edu akatiudza zvamakaita pamazuva avo, pamazuva ekare.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. We haue heard with our eares, O God: our fathers haue tolde vs the workes, that thou hast done in their dayes, in the olde time:
2 Noruoko rwenyu makadzinga ndudzi uye mukasima madzibaba edu; makapwanya marudzi mukaita kuti madzibaba edu abudirire.
Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow.
3 Havana kuzviwanira nyika nomunondo wavo, uye ruoko rwavo haruna kuvakundisa; rwakanga rwuri ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, irwo ruoko rwenyu, nokupenya kwechiso chenyu, nokuti imi makavada.
For they inherited not the lande by their owne sworde, neither did their owne arme saue them: but thy right hand, and thine arme and the light of thy countenance, because thou didest fauour them.
4 Ndimi Mambo wangu naMwari wangu, anorayira kukunda kwaJakobho.
Thou art my King, O God: send helpe vnto Iaakob.
5 Kubudikidza nemi, tinosunda vavengi vedu shure; kubudikidza nezita renyu, tinotsika vavengi vedu netsoka dzedu.
Through thee haue we thrust backe our aduersaries: by thy Name haue we troden downe them that rose vp against vs.
6 Handivimbi nouta hwangu, munondo wangu haundivigiri kukunda;
For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.
7 asi imi munotipa kukunda pamusoro pavavengi vedu, munonyadzisa vadzivisi vedu.
But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.
8 Tinozvirumbidza muna Mwari zuva rose, uye ticharumbidza zita renyu nokusingaperi. Sera
Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. (Selah)
9 Asi zvino matiramba uye matininipisa; hamuchabudi nehondo dzedu.
But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Makaita kuti tidududze pamberi pavavengi vedu, uye vadzivisi vedu vakatipamba.
Thou makest vs to turne backe from the aduersary, and they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.
11 Makatiramwira kumudyi samakwai uye makatiparadzira pakati pendudzi.
Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.
12 Makatengesa vanhu venyu pasina, hamuna kuwana kana chinhu pakuvatengesa.
Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.
13 Makatiita chiseko kuvavakidzani vedu, chinozvidzwa nechinosekwa chaavo vakatipoteredza.
Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.
14 Makatiita tsumo pakati pendudzi; vanhu vanotidzungudzira misoro.
Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
15 Kunyadziswa kwangu kuri pamberi pangu zuva rose, uye chiso changu chafukidzwa nenyadzi
My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
16 pakuseka kwaavo vanondizvidza nokundirwisa, nokuda kwomuvengi, agarira kutsiva.
For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
17 Zvose izvi zvakaitika kwatiri kunyange takanga tisina kukukanganwai, kana kuva vasina kutendeka kusungano yenyu.
All this is come vpon vs, yet doe wee not forget thee, neither deale wee falsly concerning thy couenant.
18 Mwoyo yedu yakanga isati yafuratira; tsoka dzedu dzakanga dzisati dzatsauka panzira yenyu.
Our heart is not turned backe: neither our steps gone out of thy paths,
19 Asi makatipwanya mukatiita nzvimbo yamakava uye mukatifukidza nerima guru.
Albeit thou hast smitten vs downe into the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
20 Dai takanga takanganwa zita raMwari wedu, kana kutambanudzira maoko edu kuna mwari wavatorwa,
If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,
21 Mwari haaizviziva here, sezvo achiziva zvakavanzika zvomwoyo?
Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Asi nokuda kwenyu takatarisana norufu zuva rose; tinotorwa samakwai anobayiwa.
Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
23 Mukai, imi Ishe! Munovatireiko? Zvisimudzei! Regai kutiramba nokusingaperi.
Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
24 Ko, munovanzirei chiso chenyu muchikanganwa kutambudzika nokudzvinyirirwa kwedu?
Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our miserie and our affliction?
25 Takawisirwa muguruva; miviri yedu inonamatira pavhu.
For our soule is beaten downe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the ground.
26 Simukai mutibatsire; tidzikinurei nokuda kworudo rwenyu rusingaperi.
Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.
