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.
To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not,' by David. — A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.
2 Ndirwirei pavaiti vezvakaipa, uye mundiponese pavanhu vanokarira kuteura ropa.
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
3 Tarirai kundivandira kwavakaita! Vanhu vanotyisa vanondirangana pasina mhosva yandapara kana chivi, nhai Jehovha.
For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
4 Handina chandakakanganisa, asi ivo vagadzirira kundirwisa. Simukai mundibatsire; tarirai dambudziko rangu!
Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
5 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, mukai murange ndudzi dzose; musanzwira ngoni vakaipa navapanduki. Sera
And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. (Selah)
6 Vanodzoka madekwana, vachihonʼa sembwa, uye vachinyahwaira muguta.
They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
7 Onai zvavanorutsa mumiromo yavo: vanorutsa minondo kubva pamiromo yavo, uye vanoti, “Ndiani angatinzwa?”
Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for 'Who heareth?'
8 Asi imi, iyemi Jehovha, munovaseka; munodadira ndudzi dzose.
And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
9 Haiwa imi simba rangu, ndinokurindirai; imi, iyemi Mwari, ndimi nhare yangu,
O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God [is] my tower — the God of my kindness.
10 Mwari anondida achanditungamirira uye achanditendera kuti ndifare pamusoro pavanondireva.
God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.
11 Asi musavauraya, imi Ishe nhoo yedu, zvimwe vanhu vangu vangakanganwa. Musimba renyu itai kuti vadzungaire, uye muvaderedze.
Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 Nokuda kwezvivi zvemiromo yavo, nokuda kwamashoko emiromo yavo, ngavabatwe pakuzvikudza kwavo. Nokuda kwokutuka nenhema dzavanotaura,
The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.
13 vaparadzei nehasha dzenyu, vaparadzei kusvikira vapera. Ipapo zvichazivikanwa kumigumo yenyika kuti Mwari anotonga pamusoro paJakobho. Sera
Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Vanodzoka madekwana, vachihonʼa sembwa, uye vachinyahwaira muguta.
And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.
15 Vanodzungaira vachitsvaka zvokudya, uye vanohuhudza kana vasina kuguta.
They — they wander for food, If they are not satisfied — then they murmur.
16 Asi ini ndichaimba nezvesimba renyu, ndichaimba nezvorudo rwenyu mangwanani; nokuti imi muri nhare yangu, utiziro hwangu panguva dzokutambudzika.
And I — I sing [of] Thy strength, And I sing at morn [of] Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
17 Haiwa imi simba rangu, ndinokuimbirai nziyo dzokukurumbidzai; imi, Mwari, ndimi nhare yangu, Mwari anondida.
O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God [is] my tower, the God of my kindness!
