< 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 Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him, —David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech. Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] all the day.
2 Rurimi rwako runofarira zvokuparadza; rwakaita sechisvo chakarodzwa, iyewe unogara uchingonyengera.
Engulfing ruin, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;
3 Unoda zvakaipa pachinzvimbo chezvakanaka, kureva nhema pachinzvimbo chokutaura chokwadi. Sera
Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
4 Unoda shoko rimwe nerimwe rinoparadza, iwe rurimi runonyengera!
Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
5 Zvirokwazvo Mwari achakuburutsira kukuparadzwa kusingaperi: Achakubvuta agokubvisa mutende rako; achakudzura kubva munyika yavapenyu. Sera
GOD also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot thee, out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Vakarurama vachazviona uye vachatya; vachamuseka vachiti,
The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:
7 “Houno zvino munhu asina kuita Mwari nhare yake, asi aivimba nepfuma yake zhinji, uye aisimba nokuparadza vamwe!”
Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, —But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!
8 Asi ini ndakaita somuti womuorivhi unokura zvakanaka mumba maMwari; ndinovimba norudo rusingaperi rwaMwari, nokusingaperi-peri.
But, I, am like a flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.
9 Ndichakurumbidzai, nokusingaperi nokuda kwezvamakaita; ndichavimba nezita renyu, nokuti zita renyu rakanaka. Ndichakurumbidzai pamberi pavatsvene venyu.
I will praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, —And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.
