Mapisarema 48

1 Rwiyo. Pisarema raVanakomana vaKora. Jehovha mukuru, uye anofanira kurumbidzwa kwazvo, muguta raMwari wedu, mugomo rake dzvene.

A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Great [is] YHWH, and greatly praised, In the city of our God—His holy hill.

2 Rakanaka pakukwirira kwaro, mufaro wenyika yose. Sokumusoro-soro kweZafoni, ndizvo zvakaita Gomo reZioni, guta raMambo Mukuru.

Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is] Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of [the] great King.

3 Mwari ari munhare dzaro; akazviratidza kwariri kuti ndiye nharirire yaro.

God is known for a tower in her high places.

4 Madzimambo akati abatanidza mauto, vakati vafamba pamwe chete kundorwa,

For behold, the kings met, they passed by together,

5 vakariona vakashamiswa; vakatiza nokutya.

They have seen—so they have marveled, They have been troubled, they were hurried away.

6 Vakabatwa nokudedera ipapo, nokurwadziwa sekwomukadzi osununguka.

Trembling has seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.

7 Makavaparadza sezvakaitwa zvikepe zveTashishi, zvakaputswa-putswa nemhepo yokumabvazuva.

By an east wind You shatter 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 YHWH of hosts, In the city of our God, God establishes her for all time. (Selah)

9 Tiri mukati metemberi yenyu, imi Mwari, tinofungisisa nezvorudo rwenyu rusingaperi.

We have thought, O God, of Your kindness, In the midst of Your temple,

10 Sezvakaita zita renyu, imi Mwari, kurumbidzwa kwenyu kunosvika kumagumo enyika; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi ruzere nokururama.

As [is] Your Name, O God, so [is] Your praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness has filled Your right hand.

11 Gomo reZioni rinofarisisa, misha yeJudha inofara nokuda kwokutonga kwenyu.

Mount Zion rejoices, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Your judgments.

12 Famba-fambai muZioni, ripoteredzei, verengai shongwe dzaro,

Surround Zion, and go around her, count her towers,

13 fungisisai zvakanaka nezvamasvingo aro, cherechedzai nhare dzaro, kuti mugotaura nezvazvo kuchizvarwa chinotevera.

Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that you recount to a later generation,

14 Nokuti Mwari uyu ndiye Mwari wedu nokusingaperi-peri; iye achava muperekedzi wedu kusvikira kumagumo.

That this God [is] our God—For all time and forever, He leads us over death!
