Mapisarema 58
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbiro okuti, “Musaparadza.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Ko, imi vatongi munotaura mukururama here? Munotonga pakati pavanhu nokururamisira here?
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Kwete, munofunga kusaruramisira mumwoyo menyu, uye maoko enyu anomanikidza panyika.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 Kunyange kubvira pakuberekwa, vakaipa vanofamba mukutsauka; kubva mudumbu ramai, vakaipa uye vanoreva nhema.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Uturu hwavo hwakaita souturu hwenyoka, vakafanana nemhakure yadzivira nzeve dzayo,
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 isingateereri maimbiro enʼanga kunyange zvazvo achiimba nouchenjeri hukuru.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 Vhunai mazino mumiromo yavo, imi Mwari; bvisai, imi Jehovha, mazino marefu eshumba!
Break their teeth, O Elohim, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O YHWH.
7 Ngavatsakatike semvura yapera kuerera; pavanowembura uta, miseve yavo ngaigomare.
Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 Vafanane nehozhwa inonyakatika painofamba, kufanana negavamwedzi, ngavarege kuona zuva.
As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Hari dzenyu dzisati dzanzwa kupisa kweminzwa pamoto, ingava minyoro kana yakaoma, vakaipa vachakukurwa.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10 Vakarurama vachafara pavachatsivirwa, pavachashambidza tsoka dzavo muropa ravakaipa.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Ipapo vanhu vachati, “Zvirokwazvo vakarurama vachiri kungowana mubayiro; zvirokwazvo Mwari ariko anotonga nyika.”
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is an Elohim that judgeth in the earth.
