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 chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam. Do you rulers speak righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, you people?
2 Kwete, munofunga kusaruramisira mumwoyo menyu, uye maoko enyu anomanikidza panyika.
No, you commit wickedness in your heart; you distribute violence throughout the land with your hands.
3 Kunyange kubvira pakuberekwa, vakaipa vanofamba mukutsauka; kubva mudumbu ramai, vakaipa uye vanoreva nhema.
The wicked go astray even when they are in the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4 Uturu hwavo hwakaita souturu hwenyoka, vakafanana nemhakure yadzivira nzeve dzayo,
Their poison is like a snake's poison; they are like a deaf adder that stops up its ears,
5 isingateereri maimbiro enʼanga kunyange zvazvo achiimba nouchenjeri hukuru.
that pays no attention to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful they are.
6 Vhunai mazino mumiromo yavo, imi Mwari; bvisai, imi Jehovha, mazino marefu eshumba!
Break their teeth in their mouths, God; break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
7 Ngavatsakatike semvura yapera kuerera; pavanowembura uta, miseve yavo ngaigomare.
Let them melt away as water that runs off; when they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they had no points.
8 Vafanane nehozhwa inonyakatika painofamba, kufanana negavamwedzi, ngavarege kuona zuva.
Let them be like a snail that melts and passes away, like the untimely-born child of a woman that never sees the sunlight.
9 Hari dzenyu dzisati dzanzwa kupisa kweminzwa pamoto, ingava minyoro kana yakaoma, vakaipa vachakukurwa.
Before your pots can feel the thorn's burning heat, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green thorns and the burning thorns alike.
10 Vakarurama vachafara pavachatsivirwa, pavachashambidza tsoka dzavo muropa ravakaipa.
The righteous will rejoice when he sees God's vengeance; he will 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 men will say, “Truly, there is a reward for the righteous person; truly there is a God who judges the earth.”
