Mapisarema 48
1 Rwiyo. Pisarema raVanakomana vaKora. Jehovha mukuru, uye anofanira kurumbidzwa kwazvo, muguta raMwari wedu, mugomo rake dzvene.
Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Rakanaka pakukwirira kwaro, mufaro wenyika yose. Sokumusoro-soro kweZafoni, ndizvo zvakaita Gomo reZioni, guta raMambo Mukuru.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Mwari ari munhare dzaro; akazviratidza kwariri kuti ndiye nharirire yaro.
God has made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 Madzimambo akati abatanidza mauto, vakati vafamba pamwe chete kundorwa,
For, lo, the kings assembled themselves. They passed by together.
5 vakariona vakashamiswa; vakatiza nokutya.
They saw it, then were they amazed. They were dismayed, they hastened away.
6 Vakabatwa nokudedera ipapo, nokurwadziwa sekwomukadzi osununguka.
Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Makavaparadza sezvakaitwa zvikepe zveTashishi, zvakaputswa-putswa nemhepo yokumabvazuva.
With the east wind thou break the ships of Tarshish.
8 Sezvatakanzwa, ndizvo zvataona, muguta raJehovha Wamasimba Ose, muguta raMwari wedu: Mwari anorisimbisa nokusingaperi. Sera
As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God, God will establish it forever. (Selah)
9 Tiri mukati metemberi yenyu, imi Mwari, tinofungisisa nezvorudo rwenyu rusingaperi.
We have thought on thy loving kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 Sezvakaita zita renyu, imi Mwari, kurumbidzwa kwenyu kunosvika kumagumo enyika; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi ruzere nokururama.
As is thy name, O God, so is thy praise to the ends of the earth. Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Gomo reZioni rinofarisisa, misha yeJudha inofara nokuda kwokutonga kwenyu.
Let mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of thy judgments.
12 Famba-fambai muZioni, ripoteredzei, verengai shongwe dzaro,
Walk about Zion, and go round about her. Number the towers of it,
13 fungisisai zvakanaka nezvamasvingo aro, cherechedzai nhare dzaro, kuti mugotaura nezvazvo kuchizvarwa chinotevera.
mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces, that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 Nokuti Mwari uyu ndiye Mwari wedu nokusingaperi-peri; iye achava muperekedzi wedu kusvikira kumagumo.
For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
