< Mapisarema 64 >

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndinzweiwo, imi Mwari, pandinotaura chichemo changu; dzivirirai upenyu hwangu pakutyisidzira kwavavengi.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.
2 Ndivanzei pakurangana kwavakaipa, ndibve pazhowezhowe yeungano yavaiti vezvakaipa.
Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.
3 Vanorodza ndimi dzavo seminondo, uye vanonanga namashoko avo semiseve inouraya.
They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,
4 Vanopfura vari pakavanda munhu asina mhosva; vanomupfura pakarepo, vasingatyi.
so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.
5 Vanokurudzira mumwe nomumwe wavo pakufunga zvakaipa, vanotaura pamusoro pokuteya misungo yavo, uye vanoti, “Ndianiko achaiona?”
They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”
6 Vanorangana kusaruramisira vachiti, “Tafunga zano rakakwana!” Zvirokwazvo mwoyo nomurangariro womunhu zvinonyengera.
They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.
7 Asi Mwari achavapfura nemiseve; pakarepo vachawira pasi.
But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.
8 Achaita kuti ndimi dzavo dzivashandukire, uye achavaisa pakuparadzwa; vose vanovaona vachavadzungudzira misoro vachivaseka.
They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
9 Marudzi ose avanhu achatya; achaparidza mabasa aMwari, uye achafungisisa zvaakaita.
All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.
10 Vakarurama ngavafare muna Jehovha uye vavande maari; vose vakarurama mumwoyo ngavamurumbidze!
The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
