Mapisarema 52

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. Dhoegi muEdhomu paakanga aenda kuna Sauro akamuudza kuti: “Dhavhidhi aenda kumba kwaAhimereki.” Ko, unozvikudzirei pane zvakaipa, iwe murume wesimba? Unozvikudzirei zuva rose, iyewe unonyadzisa pamberi paMwari?

To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

2 Rurimi rwako runofarira zvokuparadza; rwakaita sechisvo chakarodzwa, iyewe unogara uchingonyengera.

Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

3 Unoda zvakaipa pachinzvimbo chezvakanaka, kureva nhema pachinzvimbo chokutaura chokwadi. Sera

You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)

4 Unoda shoko rimwe nerimwe rinoparadza, iwe rurimi runonyengera!

Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

5 Zvirokwazvo Mwari achakuburutsira kukuparadzwa kusingaperi: Achakubvuta agokubvisa mutende rako; achakudzura kubva munyika yavapenyu. Sera

But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Vakarurama vachazviona uye vachatya; vachamuseka vachiti,

The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

7 “Houno zvino munhu asina kuita Mwari nhare yake, asi aivimba nepfuma yake zhinji, uye aisimba nokuparadza vamwe!”

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

8 Asi ini ndakaita somuti womuorivhi unokura zvakanaka mumba maMwari; ndinovimba norudo rusingaperi rwaMwari, nokusingaperi-peri.

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

9 Ndichakurumbidzai, nokusingaperi nokuda kwezvamakaita; ndichavimba nezita renyu, nokuti zita renyu rakanaka. Ndichakurumbidzai pamberi pavatsvene venyu.

I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
