< Mapisarema 6 >
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba nemitengeranwa. Nesheminiti. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, regai kundirayira mukutsamwa kwenyu, kana kundiranga muhasha dzenyu.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, a psalm of David.” O Lord, correct me not in thy anger, and chastise me not in thy wrath.
2 Ndinzwirei ngoni, Jehovha, nokuti ndava kuziya; haiwa Jehovha, ndiporesei, nokuti mapfupa angu ava kurwadza.
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for I am withering away; heal me, O Lord; for my bones are terrified.
3 Mweya wangu uri kurwadziwa. Haiwa Jehovha, kusvikira riniko, kusvikira riniko?
And my soul is greatly terrified; but thou, O Lord, how long yet—?
4 Dzokai, imi Jehovha, mugondirwira; ndiponesei nokuda kworudo rwenyu rusingaperi.
Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: help me for the sake of thy kindness.
5 Hakuna anokurangarirai kana afa. Ndiani anokurumbidzai kubva muguva? (Sheol )
For in death men do not remember thee: in the nether world, who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol )
6 Ndaneta nokugomera; ndinonyorovesa mubhedha wangu nemisodzi ndichichema usiku hwose, ndinonyorovesa uvato hwangu nemisodzi.
I am weary with my sighing; I flood every night my bed; With my tears I moisten my couch.
7 Meso angu aneta nokuchema; haachaoni nokuda kwavavengi vangu vose.
My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all my assailants.
8 Ibvai pandiri, imi mose munoita zvakaipa, nokuti Jehovha anzwa kuchema kwangu.
Depart from me, all ye workers of wickedness; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 Jehovha anzwa kukumbira kwangu nyasha; Jehovha anogamuchira munyengetero wangu.
The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will accept my prayer.
10 Vavengi vangu vose vachanyadziswa uye vachavhundutswa; vachadzokera shure pakarepo mukunyadziswa.
Ashamed and greatly terrified shall become all my enemies; they will turn round, and be made ashamed in a moment.
