Mapisarema 54

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba nemitengeranwa ine hungiso. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. VaZefati pavakaenda kuna Sauro kundoti, “Ko, Dhavhidhi haana kuvanda pakati pedu here?” Ndiponesei, imi Mwari, nezita renyu; ndiruramisirei nesimba renyu.

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

2 Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Mwari; teererai kumashoko omuromo wangu.

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

3 Vatorwa vanondirwisa; vanhu vane utsinye vanotsvaka upenyu hwangu, vanhu vasingazivi Mwari. Sera

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

4 Zvirokwazvo Mwari ndiye mubatsiri wangu; ishe ndiye anonditsigira.

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

5 Zvakaipa ngazvimonere pane avo vanondireva; muvaparadze pakutendeka kwenyu.

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

6 Ndichakubayirai chipiriso chokungopa; ndicharumbidza zita renyu, imi Jehovha, nokuti rakanaka.

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

7 Nokuti akandirwira pamatambudziko angu ose, uye mukukunda, meso angu akatarisa vavengi vangu.

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
