Mapisarema 50
1 Pisarema raAsafi. Iye Wamasimba, Mwari, Jehovha, anotaura uye anodana nyika kubva pakubuda kwezuva kusvikira kwarinovirira.
A Melody of Asaph. El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:
2 Kubva kuZioni, rakakwana parunako, Mwari anopenya.
Out of Zion the perfection of beauty, God, hath shone forth.
3 Mwari wedu anouya uye haanganyarari; moto unoparadza pamberi pake, uye dutu rine hasha rakamupoteredza.
Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire—before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:
4 Anodana matenga kumusoro, uye nenyika, kuti atonge vanhu vake achiti:
He calleth, Unto the heavens above, And unto the earth, That he may judge his people.
5 “Ndiunganidzirei vatsvene vangu, vakaita sungano neni nechibayiro.”
Gather yourselves unto me—ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.
6 Uye matenga anoparidza kururama kwake, nokuti Mwari amene ndiye mutongi. Sera
Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. (Selah)
7 “Inzwai, imi vanhu vangu, uye ndichataura, imi Israeri, uye ndichapupura pamusoro penyu: Ndini Mwari, Mwari wenyu.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am: —
8 Handikutukei nokuda kwezvibayiro zvenyu, kana zvipiriso zvenyu zvinopiswa, zvinogara zviri pamberi pangu.
Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually:
9 Handisi kuda hando inobva mudanga rako, kana mbudzi inobva muzvirugu zvako,
I will not take out of thy house—a bullock, Nor out of thy folds—he-goats;
10 nokuti mhuka dzose dzesango ndedzangu, nemombe pamakomo chiuru.
For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands;
11 Ndinoziva shiri dzose dziri mumakomo, uye zvisikwa zvose zvesango ndezvangu.
I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:
12 Kana dai ndaiva nenzara, handaikuudza iwe, nokuti nyika ndeyangu, nezvose zviri mairi.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.
13 Ko, ndinodya nyama yehando kana kunwa ropa rembudzi here?
Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he-goats, will I drink?
14 “Bayirai zvibayiro zvokuvonga kuna Mwari, zadzisai zvamakapikira Wokumusoro-soro,
Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows;
15 uye mudane kwandiri pazuva rokutambudzika; ndichakurwirai, uye imi muchandikudza.”
Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify me.
16 Asi kuna vakaipa, Mwari anoti: “Ko, une mvumo ipiko iwe yokuti ududzire mutemo wangu, kana kuisa sungano yangu pamiromo yako?
But, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?
17 Unovenga kurayira kwangu, uye unorasira mashoko angu shure kwako.
Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;
18 Paunoona mbavha, unowadzana nayo; unogoverana nemhombwe mugove wako.
If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, —And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;
19 Unoshandisa muromo wako kuita zvakaipa, uye unorovedza rurimi rwako kukunyengera.
Thy mouth, hast thou thrust into wickedness, And, thy tongue, kept weaving deceit;
20 Unogara uchipomera hama yako uye unoitira mwanakomana wamai vako makuhwa.
Thou wouldst sit down—Against thine own brother, wouldst thou speak, Against thine own mother’s son, wouldst thou expose a fault: —
21 Zvinhu izvi wakazviita ini ndikaramba ndinyerere; wakafunga kuti ndakafanana newe. Asi ndichakutsiura uye ndichaisa mhosva iyi pamberi pako.
These things, hast thou done, and I have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set [thine offences] in order before thine eyes.
22 “Fungai izvi, imi vanokanganwa Mwari, kuti ndirege kukubvambura-bvamburai mukashaya angakununurai:
Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of GOD, Lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver: —
23 Munhu anobayira chibayiro chokuvonga ndiye anondikudza, uye anogadzira nzira kuitira kuti ndimuratidze ruponeso rwaMwari.”
He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me, —And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.
