Mapisarema 58
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbiro okuti, “Musaparadza.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Ko, imi vatongi munotaura mukururama here? Munotonga pakati pavanhu nokururamisira here?
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David.” Do ye, indeed, administer justice faithfully, ye mighty ones? Do ye judge with uprightness, ye sons of men?
2 Kwete, munofunga kusaruramisira mumwoyo menyu, uye maoko enyu anomanikidza panyika.
Nay, in your hearts ye contrive iniquity; Your hands weigh out violence in the land!
3 Kunyange kubvira pakuberekwa, vakaipa vanofamba mukutsauka; kubva mudumbu ramai, vakaipa uye vanoreva nhema.
The wicked are estranged, from their very birth; The liars go astray as soon as they are born.
4 Uturu hwavo hwakaita souturu hwenyoka, vakafanana nemhakure yadzivira nzeve dzayo,
They have poison, like the poison of a serpent; Like the deaf adder's, which stoppeth her ear;
5 isingateereri maimbiro enʼanga kunyange zvazvo achiimba nouchenjeri hukuru.
Which listeneth not to the voice of the charmer, And of the sorcerer, skilful in incantations.
6 Vhunai mazino mumiromo yavo, imi Mwari; bvisai, imi Jehovha, mazino marefu eshumba!
Break their teeth, O God! in their mouths! Break out the great teeth of the lions, O LORD!
7 Ngavatsakatike semvura yapera kuerera; pavanowembura uta, miseve yavo ngaigomare.
May they melt like waters, which flow away; May their arrows, when they aim them, be as if cut in pieces!
8 Vafanane nehozhwa inonyakatika painofamba, kufanana negavamwedzi, ngavarege kuona zuva.
May they be like the snail, which melteth away as it goeth; Like the abortion of a woman, that seeth not the sun!
9 Hari dzenyu dzisati dzanzwa kupisa kweminzwa pamoto, ingava minyoro kana yakaoma, vakaipa vachakukurwa.
Before your pots feel the heat of the thorns, Whether fresh, or burning, may they be blown away!
10 Vakarurama vachafara pavachatsivirwa, pavachashambidza tsoka dzavo muropa ravakaipa.
The righteous shall rejoice, when he seeth such vengeance; He shall bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Ipapo vanhu vachati, “Zvirokwazvo vakarurama vachiri kungowana mubayiro; zvirokwazvo Mwari ariko anotonga nyika.”
Then shall men say, “Truly there is a reward for the righteous! Truly there is a God who is judge upon the earth!”
