< Mapisarema 68 >
1 Mutungamiri mukuru wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo. Mwari ngaasimuke, vavengi vake ngavaparadzirwe; vavengi vake ngavatize pamberi pake.
To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
2 Sokupeperetswa kunoitwa utsi nemhepo, saizvozvo vapeperetsei; sokunyauka kunoita namo pamberi pomoto, vakaipa ngavaparare pamberi paMwari.
As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
3 Asi vakarurama ngavafare, vafarisise pamberi paMwari; ngavafare vapembere.
But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
4 Imbirai Mwari, imbirai zita rake nziyo dzokurumbidza, murumbidzei zvikuru iye anofamba pamusoro pamakore, zita rake ndiJehovha, uye farai pamberi pake.
Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.
5 Baba venherera, mudziviriri wechirikadzi, ndiye Mwari ari paugaro hwake utsvene.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Vakanga vari voga Mwari akavagarisa mumhuri, anosesedza vasungwa vachiimba; asi mhandu dzinogara panyika yatsva nezuva.
God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched [land].
7 Pamakatungamirira vanhu venyu, imi Mwari, pamakafamba napakati perenje, Sera
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness (Selah)
8 nyika yakazungunuka, matenga akadurura mvura, pamberi paMwari, iye weSinai, pamberi paMwari, iye Mwari waIsraeri.
The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Imi Mwari, makanayisa mvura zhinji; mukaita kuti nhaka yenyu yakaneta ifefeterwe.
Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
10 Vanhu venyu vakagaramo, uye imi Mwari, kubva pane, zvakawanda zvenyu, makariritira varombo.
Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!
11 Ishe akataura shoko, vanhu vakaparidza shoko vaiva vazhinji kwazvo:
The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
12 “Madzimambo navarwi vakakurumidza kutiza; mumisasa, vanhu vakagovana zvakapambwa.
Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
13 Kunyange pamunenge makavata pakati pemoto yemisasa, mapapiro enjiva yangu akafukidzwa nesirivha, minhenga yayo negoridhe rinovaima.”
Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
14 Wamasimba Ose paakaparadzira madzimambo munyika, zvakanga zvakaita sechando chawira pamusoro peZarimoni.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
15 Makomo eBhashani makomo oushe; makomo eBhashani akati twi.
[As] mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
16 Munotaririreiko negodo, imi makomo akati twi, pagomo rakasarudzwa naMwari kuti atongepo, pachagarwa naJehovha pachake nokusingaperi?
Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.
17 Ngoro dzaMwari dzinosvika makumi ezviuru nezviuru zvezviuru; Ishe akasvika panzvimbo yake tsvene achibva kuSinai.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.
18 Pamakakwira kumusoro, makatungamirira vatapwa mumudungwe wenyu; mukagamuchira zvipo zvaibva kuvanhu, kunyange zvaibva kuna vakapanduka, kuti imi, iyemi Jehovha Mwari, mugarepo.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim.
19 Ishe ngaarumbidzwe, Mwari Muponesi wedu, anotakura mitoro yedu zuva nezuva. Sera
Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Mwari wedu ndiMwari anoponesa; kupunyuka parufu kunobva kuna Ishe Jehovha.
Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth [even] from death.
21 Zvirokwazvo Mwari achapwanya misoro yavavengi vake, panhongonya dzine vhudzi dzaavo vanorambira muzvivi zvavo.
Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 Ishe anoti, “Ndichavabvisa kubva kuBhashani; ndichavabudisa kubva kwakadzika kwegungwa,
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depth of the sea;
23 kuti unyike tsoka dzako muropa ravavengi vako, ndimi dzembwa dzako dzichiwanawo mugove wadzo.”
That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.
24 Mudungwe wenyu wakaonekwa, imi Mwari, mudungwe waMwari wangu naMambo achipinda munzvimbo tsvene.
They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 Mberi kuna vaimbi, vachiteverwa navaridzi vemitengeranwa; pamwe chete navarandakadzi vachiridza matambureni.
The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
26 Rumbidzai Mwari paungano huru; rumbidzai Mwari pagungano raIsraeri.
In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, — [ye] from the fountain of Israel.
27 Tarirai, rudzi ruduku rwaBhenjamini runovatungamirira, hawo machinda mazhinji aJudha, uye hawo machinda aZebhuruni neaNafutari.
There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28 Danai simba renyu, imi Mwari; tiratidzei simba renyu, imi Mwari, sezvamakaita kare.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Nokuda kwetemberi yenyu paJerusarema, madzimambo achakuvigirai zvipo.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30 Tukai mhuka dziri pakati petsanga, mapoka ehando ari pakati pemhuru dzendudzi. Ngavauye nesirivha, vakazvininipisa. Paradzirai ndudzi dzinofarira kurwa.
Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: [every one] submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
31 Nhume dzichabva kuIjipiti; Etiopia ichazviisa pasi paMwari.
Great ones shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall quickly stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Imbirai Mwari, imi ushe hwepasi, rumbidzai Ishe nenziyo, Sera
Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing psalms of the Lord, (Selah)
33 kuna iye anotasva matenga akare kumusoro, iye anobudisa inzwi rake, inzwi rine simba.
Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
34 Paridzai simba raMwari, iye ano ushe huri pamusoro peIsraeri, ane simba riri kudenga denga.
Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 Munotyisa imi Mwari, muri panzvimbo yenyu tsvene; Mwari waIsraeri anopa ushe nesimba kuvanhu vake. Mwari ngaarumbidzwe!
Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, — the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!
