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?

Why boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endures continually.

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

The tongue devises evil; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)

4 Unoda shoko rimwe nerimwe rinoparadza, iwe rurimi runonyengera!

You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

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

God shall likewise destroy you for ever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Vakarurama vachazviona uye vachatya; vachamuseka vachiti,

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

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

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

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

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

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

I will praise you for ever, because you have done it: and I will wait on your name; for it is good before your saints.
