Mapisarema 59
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbiro anoti, “Musaparadza.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Sauro paakanga atuma varume kundorinda imba yaDhavhidhi kuti amuuraye. Ndirwirei pavavengi vangu, imi Mwari; Ndidzivirirei kubva kuna avo vanondimukira.
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 Ndirwirei pavaiti vezvakaipa, uye mundiponese pavanhu vanokarira kuteura ropa.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 Tarirai kundivandira kwavakaita! Vanhu vanotyisa vanondirangana pasina mhosva yandapara kana chivi, nhai Jehovha.
For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.
4 Handina chandakakanganisa, asi ivo vagadzirira kundirwisa. Simukai mundibatsire; tarirai dambudziko rangu!
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!
5 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, mukai murange ndudzi dzose; musanzwira ngoni vakaipa navapanduki. Sera
You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
6 Vanodzoka madekwana, vachihonʼa sembwa, uye vachinyahwaira muguta.
They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
7 Onai zvavanorutsa mumiromo yavo: vanorutsa minondo kubva pamiromo yavo, uye vanoti, “Ndiani angatinzwa?”
Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”
8 Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, munovaseka; munodadira ndudzi dzose.
But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9 Haiwa imi simba rangu, ndinokurindirai; imi, iyemi Mwari, ndimi nhare yangu,
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
10 Mwari anondida achanditungamirira uye achanditendera kuti ndifare pamusoro pavanondireva.
My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11 Asi musavauraya, imi Ishe nhoo yedu, zvimwe vanhu vangu vangakanganwa. Musimba renyu itai kuti vadzungaire, uye muvaderedze.
Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
12 Nokuda kwezvivi zvemiromo yavo, nokuda kwamashoko emiromo yavo, ngavabatwe pakuzvikudza kwavo. Nokuda kwokutuka nenhema dzavanotaura,
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
13 vaparadzei nehasha dzenyu, vaparadzei kusvikira vapera. Ipapo zvichazivikanwa kumigumo yenyika kuti Mwari anotonga pamusoro paJakobho. Sera
Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Vanodzoka madekwana, vachihonʼa sembwa, uye vachinyahwaira muguta.
At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15 Vanodzungaira vachitsvaka zvokudya, uye vanohuhudza kana vasina kuguta.
They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.
16 Asi ini ndichaimba nezvesimba renyu, ndichaimba nezvorudo rwenyu mangwanani; nokuti imi muri nhare yangu, utiziro hwangu panguva dzokutambudzika.
But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Haiwa imi simba rangu, ndinokuimbirai nziyo dzokukurumbidzai; imi, Mwari, ndimi nhare yangu, Mwari anondida.
To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
