Mapisarema 68
1 Mutungamiri mukuru wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo. Mwari ngaasimuke, vavengi vake ngavaparadzirwe; vavengi vake ngavatize pamberi pake.
For the music director. A psalm of David. A song. Stand up, God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate him run away from him!
2 Sokupeperetswa kunoitwa utsi nemhepo, saizvozvo vapeperetsei; sokunyauka kunoita namo pamberi pomoto, vakaipa ngavaparare pamberi paMwari.
Blow them away as if they were smoke; melt them like beeswax in a fire. Let the wicked die in God's presence.
3 Asi vakarurama ngavafare, vafarisise pamberi paMwari; ngavafare vapembere.
But those who are right with God are happy, and they celebrate in God's presence, full of joy.
4 Imbirai Mwari, imbirai zita rake nziyo dzokurumbidza, murumbidzei zvikuru iye anofamba pamusoro pamakore, zita rake ndiJehovha, uye farai pamberi pake.
Sing praises to God! Sing praises to his wonderful reputation! Praise the rider of the clouds—his name is the Lord! Be happy in his presence!
5 Baba venherera, mudziviriri wechirikadzi, ndiye Mwari ari paugaro hwake utsvene.
He is a father to the orphans, a protector of widows. This is who God is, who lives in his holy place.
6 Vakanga vari voga Mwari akavagarisa mumhuri, anosesedza vasungwa vachiimba; asi mhandu dzinogara panyika yatsva nezuva.
God gives those who are abandoned a family to live with. He sets prisoners free with celebration. But those who rebel live in a desert wasteland.
7 Pamakatungamirira vanhu venyu, imi Mwari, pamakafamba napakati perenje, Sera
God, when you led your people out, when you marched through the desert, (Selah)
8 nyika yakazungunuka, matenga akadurura mvura, pamberi paMwari, iye weSinai, pamberi paMwari, iye Mwari waIsraeri.
the earth quaked, and the heavens shook before God, the one of Sinai; before God, the God of Israel.
9 Imi Mwari, makanayisa mvura zhinji; mukaita kuti nhaka yenyu yakaneta ifefeterwe.
You sent plenty of rain to water the promised land; refreshing it when it was dry.
10 Vanhu venyu vakagaramo, uye imi Mwari, kubva pane, zvakawanda zvenyu, makariritira varombo.
Your people settled there, and because of your kindness, God, you looked after the poor. (Selah)
11 Ishe akataura shoko, vanhu vakaparidza shoko vaiva vazhinji kwazvo:
The Lord gives the command, and a great army of women spread the good news.
12 “Madzimambo navarwi vakakurumidza kutiza; mumisasa, vanhu vakagovana zvakapambwa.
The kings of the foreign armies are quick to run away, and the women who stayed at home divide the plunder!
13 Kunyange pamunenge makavata pakati pemoto yemisasa, mapapiro enjiva yangu akafukidzwa nesirivha, minhenga yayo negoridhe rinovaima.”
Why are you staying at home? There are ornaments in the shape of a dove with wings of silver and feathers of fine gold to be taken.
14 Wamasimba Ose paakaparadzira madzimambo munyika, zvakanga zvakaita sechando chawira pamusoro peZarimoni.
The Almighty scattered the foreign kings like a snowstorm on Mount Zalmon.
15 Makomo eBhashani makomo oushe; makomo eBhashani akati twi.
“Mountain of God,” Mount Bashan, with your many high peaks, Mount Bashan,
16 Munotaririreiko negodo, imi makomo akati twi, pagomo rakasarudzwa naMwari kuti atongepo, pachagarwa naJehovha pachake nokusingaperi?
why do you look enviously, mountain with many peaks, at the mountain God chose as his home, where the Lord will live forever?
17 Ngoro dzaMwari dzinosvika makumi ezviuru nezviuru zvezviuru; Ishe akasvika panzvimbo yake tsvene achibva kuSinai.
God's chariots can't be counted; there are thousands and thousands of them. He comes among them from Sinai into his Temple.
18 Pamakakwira kumusoro, makatungamirira vatapwa mumudungwe wenyu; mukagamuchira zvipo zvaibva kuvanhu, kunyange zvaibva kuna vakapanduka, kuti imi, iyemi Jehovha Mwari, mugarepo.
As you ascended to your high throne you led a procession of prisoners. You received gifts from the people, even from those who had rebelled against the home of the Lord God.
19 Ishe ngaarumbidzwe, Mwari Muponesi wedu, anotakura mitoro yedu zuva nezuva. Sera
May the Lord be blessed, for every day he carries our burdens. God is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Mwari wedu ndiMwari anoponesa; kupunyuka parufu kunobva kuna Ishe Jehovha.
For us, God is a God who saves. The Lord God provides our escape from death.
21 Zvirokwazvo Mwari achapwanya misoro yavavengi vake, panhongonya dzine vhudzi dzaavo vanorambira muzvivi zvavo.
But God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy heads of those who continue to sin.
22 Ishe anoti, “Ndichavabvisa kubva kuBhashani; ndichavabudisa kubva kwakadzika kwegungwa,
The Lord says, “I will drag them down from Bashan; I will drag them up from the depths of the sea,
23 kuti unyike tsoka dzako muropa ravavengi vako, ndimi dzembwa dzako dzichiwanawo mugove wadzo.”
so that you may walk in their blood. Even your dogs will have their share of your enemies.”
24 Mudungwe wenyu wakaonekwa, imi Mwari, mudungwe waMwari wangu naMambo achipinda munzvimbo tsvene.
People watch your processions, God—the processions of my God and King as they go into the Temple.
25 Mberi kuna vaimbi, vachiteverwa navaridzi vemitengeranwa; pamwe chete navarandakadzi vachiridza matambureni.
The singers are at the front, the musicians at the back, and in the middle girls playing tambourines.
26 Rumbidzai Mwari paungano huru; rumbidzai Mwari pagungano raIsraeri.
Praise God, everyone who has come to worship; praise the Lord, everyone who belongs to Israel.
27 Tarirai, rudzi ruduku rwaBhenjamini runovatungamirira, hawo machinda mazhinji aJudha, uye hawo machinda aZebhuruni neaNafutari.
There is the little tribe of Benjamin, followed by the many leaders from Judah; then come the leaders of Zebulun and Naphtali.
28 Danai simba renyu, imi Mwari; tiratidzei simba renyu, imi Mwari, sezvamakaita kare.
Display your power, God! Reveal your strength, Lord, as you have done for us in the past.
29 Nokuda kwetemberi yenyu paJerusarema, madzimambo achakuvigirai zvipo.
Because of your Temple in Jerusalem, kings bring tribute to you.
30 Tukai mhuka dziri pakati petsanga, mapoka ehando ari pakati pemhuru dzendudzi. Ngavauye nesirivha, vakazvininipisa. Paradzirai ndudzi dzinofarira kurwa.
Condemn the beasts of the reeds, the bulls and calves! May they be humbled and bring bars of silver in tribute! Scatter the war-loving nations!
31 Nhume dzichabva kuIjipiti; Etiopia ichazviisa pasi paMwari.
Let Egypt come with bronze gifts; let Ethiopia come quickly and hand over their tributes to God!
32 Imbirai Mwari, imi ushe hwepasi, rumbidzai Ishe nenziyo, Sera
Sing to God, kingdoms of the earth, sing praises to the Lord. (Selah)
33 kuna iye anotasva matenga akare kumusoro, iye anobudisa inzwi rake, inzwi rine simba.
Sing to the rider of the ancient heavens, his strong voice sounding like thunder!
34 Paridzai simba raMwari, iye ano ushe huri pamusoro peIsraeri, ane simba riri kudenga denga.
Let everyone know of God's power: how his majesty extends over Israel, how his strength is revealed in the heavens.
35 Munotyisa imi Mwari, muri panzvimbo yenyu tsvene; Mwari waIsraeri anopa ushe nesimba kuvanhu vake. Mwari ngaarumbidzwe!
How awesome is God in his Temple! The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people! Praise God!
