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, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title. If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.
2 Kwete, munofunga kusaruramisira mumwoyo menyu, uye maoko enyu anomanikidza panyika.
For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.
3 Kunyange kubvira pakuberekwa, vakaipa vanofamba mukutsauka; kubva mudumbu ramai, vakaipa uye vanoreva nhema.
The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
4 Uturu hwavo hwakaita souturu hwenyoka, vakafanana nemhakure yadzivira nzeve dzayo,
Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
5 isingateereri maimbiro enʼanga kunyange zvazvo achiimba nouchenjeri hukuru.
Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
6 Vhunai mazino mumiromo yavo, imi Mwari; bvisai, imi Jehovha, mazino marefu eshumba!
God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
7 Ngavatsakatike semvura yapera kuerera; pavanowembura uta, miseve yavo ngaigomare.
They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
8 Vafanane nehozhwa inonyakatika painofamba, kufanana negavamwedzi, ngavarege kuona zuva.
Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall 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 swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
10 Vakarurama vachafara pavachatsivirwa, pavachashambidza tsoka dzavo muropa ravakaipa.
The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall 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 shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
