Mapisarema 55
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba nemitengeranwa ine hungiso. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kumunyengetero wangu, imi Mwari; regai kushaya hanya nokukumbira kwangu;
For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
2 ndinzwei, uye ndipindureiwo. Pfungwa dzangu dzinondinetsa uye ndiri kushushikana,
Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;
3 pandinonzwa inzwi romuvengi wangu, pandinodzvokorwa navakaipa; nokuti vanodururira matambudziko pamusoro pangu, uye vanondituka mukutsamwa kwavo.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4 Mwoyo wangu unorwadziwa mukati mangu; kutyisa kworufu kunondiwira.
My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Kutya nokudedera zvakandibata; kutya kukuru kwakandifukidza.
Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 Ini ndakati, “Haiwa, dai ndina mapapiro enjiva! Ndaibhururukira kure ndikandozorora hangu,
And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 ndaitizira kure kwazvo, ndikandogara mugwenga; Sera
Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 ndaikurumidza kundovanda panzvimbo yangu, kure nemafungu nedutu.”
I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'
9 Nyonganisai vakaipa, imi Ishe, kanganisai mutauro wavo, nokuti ndinoona mhirizhonga nokurwa muguta.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Masikati nousiku vanopoterera masvingo aro chinyararire; utsinye nokumanikidza zviri mukati maro.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
11 Masimba okuparadza azere muguta; kutyisidzira nenhema hazvibvi munzira dzaro.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.
12 Dai ndatukwa nomuvengi, ndaigona kushinga hangu; dai muvengi aindimukira, ndaigona kumuvanda hangu.
For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
13 Asi ndiwe, munhu akaita seni, mumwe wangu, shamwari yangu yapedyo,
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;
14 yandaimbofarira kuwadzana nayo pataifamba navazhinji mumba maMwari.
We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.
15 Rufu ngaruwane vavengi vangu vasingafungiri; ngavaburukire muguva vari vapenyu, nokuti kuipa kwakawana pokugara pakati pavo. (Sheol h7585)
May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Asi ini ndinodana kuna Mwari, uye Jehovha anondiponesa.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Madekwana, mangwanani namasikati ndinochema mukushushikana, uye iye anonzwa inzwi rangu.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.
18 Anondidzikinura ndisina kukuvara kubva pahondo inondirwisa, kunyange zvazvo vazhinji vachindipikisa.
He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.
19 Mwari, agere pachigaro choushe nokusingaperi, achavanzwa agovaninipisa, Sera ivo vanhu vasingamboshanduri nzira dzavo, uye vasingatyi Mwari.
God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, (Selah) such as have no changes, and fear not God.
20 Mumwe wangu anorova shamwari dzake; anoputsa sungano yake.
He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
21 Mutauro wake unotsvedzerera samafuta, asi kurwa kuri mumwoyo make; mashoko ake anopfavisa kukunda mafuta, asi minondo yakavhomorwa.
Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.
22 Kanda kufunganya kwako pana Jehovha uye iye achakusimbisa; haazombotenderi vakarurama kuti vawire pasi.
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, muchaburutsira vakaipa pasi mugomba rokuora; vanhu vanokarira ropa navanyengeri havangararami hafu yamazuva avo. Asi kana ndirini, ndinovimba nemi.
But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I will trust in Thee.
