Mapisarema 58
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbiro okuti, “Musaparadza.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Ko, imi vatongi munotaura mukururama here? Munotonga pakati pavanhu nokururamisira here?
Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title. If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.
2 Kwete, munofunga kusaruramisira mumwoyo menyu, uye maoko enyu anomanikidza panyika.
For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.
3 Kunyange kubvira pakuberekwa, vakaipa vanofamba mukutsauka; kubva mudumbu ramai, vakaipa uye vanoreva nhema.
Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.
4 Uturu hwavo hwakaita souturu hwenyoka, vakafanana nemhakure yadzivira nzeve dzayo,
Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,
5 isingateereri maimbiro enʼanga kunyange zvazvo achiimba nouchenjeri hukuru.
who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.
6 Vhunai mazino mumiromo yavo, imi Mwari; bvisai, imi Jehovha, mazino marefu eshumba!
God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.
7 Ngavatsakatike semvura yapera kuerera; pavanowembura uta, miseve yavo ngaigomare.
They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.
8 Vafanane nehozhwa inonyakatika painofamba, kufanana negavamwedzi, ngavarege kuona zuva.
Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.
9 Hari dzenyu dzisati dzanzwa kupisa kweminzwa pamoto, ingava minyoro kana yakaoma, vakaipa vachakukurwa.
Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.
10 Vakarurama vachafara pavachatsivirwa, pavachashambidza tsoka dzavo muropa ravakaipa.
The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
11 Ipapo vanhu vachati, “Zvirokwazvo vakarurama vachiri kungowana mubayiro; zvirokwazvo Mwari ariko anotonga nyika.”
And man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”
