Mapisarema 68
1 Mutungamiri mukuru wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo. Mwari ngaasimuke, vavengi vake ngavaparadzirwe; vavengi vake ngavatize pamberi pake.
“To the chief musician, by David, a Psalm or song.” Oh that God would arise, that his enemies might be scattered, and those that hate him might flee before him.
2 Sokupeperetswa kunoitwa utsi nemhepo, saizvozvo vapeperetsei; sokunyauka kunoita namo pamberi pomoto, vakaipa ngavaparare pamberi paMwari.
As smoke is driven off, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked 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: yea, they shall be exceedingly joyful.
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 praises to his name; extol him who rideth upon the heavens: the Everlasting is his name, 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 places those who are solitary in the midst of their families: he bringeth out those who are bound unto happiness; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 Pamakatungamirira vanhu venyu, imi Mwari, pamakafamba napakati perenje, Sera
O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people, when thou didst tread along through the wilderness—Selah—
8 nyika yakazungunuka, matenga akadurura mvura, pamberi paMwari, iye weSinai, pamberi paMwari, iye Mwari waIsraeri.
The earth quaked, also the heavens dropped at the presence of God, yea, this Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Imi Mwari, makanayisa mvura zhinji; mukaita kuti nhaka yenyu yakaneta ifefeterwe.
Rain of beneficence didst thou pour down, O God, whereby thou didst truly strengthen thy heritage, when it was weary.
10 Vanhu venyu vakagaramo, uye imi Mwari, kubva pane, zvakawanda zvenyu, makariritira varombo.
Thy assembly dwelt therein: thou didst prepare it with thy goodness for the afflicted [people]. O God,
11 Ishe akataura shoko, vanhu vakaparidza shoko vaiva vazhinji kwazvo:
The Lord gave [happy] tidings; they are published by the female messengers, a numerous host.
12 “Madzimambo navarwi vakakurumidza kutiza; mumisasa, vanhu vakagovana zvakapambwa.
The kings of the armies flee away—flee away: yet she that tarried at home divideth the spoil.
13 Kunyange pamunenge makavata pakati pemoto yemisasa, mapapiro enjiva yangu akafukidzwa nesirivha, minhenga yayo negoridhe rinovaima.”
When ye lie still between the folds [of your cattle], [ye will be like] the wings of the dove covered with sliver, and her pinions shining with flaming gold.
14 Wamasimba Ose paakaparadzira madzimambo munyika, zvakanga zvakaita sechando chawira pamusoro peZarimoni.
When the Almighty scattered kings in the midst of her, then even in darkness shone light [as pure] as snow.
15 Makomo eBhashani makomo oushe; makomo eBhashani akati twi.
A mountain of God is the mount of Bashan; many peaks hath the mount of Bashan.
16 Munotaririreiko negodo, imi makomo akati twi, pagomo rakasarudzwa naMwari kuti atongepo, pachagarwa naJehovha pachake nokusingaperi?
Why watch ye enviously, ye many-peaked mountains, yonder mountain which God hath chosen for his residence? yea, the Lord will also dwell [there] for ever.
17 Ngoro dzaMwari dzinosvika makumi ezviuru nezviuru zvezviuru; Ishe akasvika panzvimbo yake tsvene achibva kuSinai.
The chariots of God are two myriads; thousands of angels [follow him]: the Lord is among them: so is Sinai holy [among mountains].
18 Pamakakwira kumusoro, makatungamirira vatapwa mumudungwe wenyu; mukagamuchira zvipo zvaibva kuvanhu, kunyange zvaibva kuna vakapanduka, kuti imi, iyemi Jehovha Mwari, mugarepo.
Thou didst ascend on high, lead away captives, receive gifts among men, yea, even the rebellious, to dwell among them. O Lord God.
19 Ishe ngaarumbidzwe, Mwari Muponesi wedu, anotakura mitoro yedu zuva nezuva. Sera
Blessed be the Lord; day by day he loadeth us [with benefits]; our God is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Mwari wedu ndiMwari anoponesa; kupunyuka parufu kunobva kuna Ishe Jehovha.
Our God is to us the God of salvation: and by the Eternal the Lord are the escapes from death.
21 Zvirokwazvo Mwari achapwanya misoro yavavengi vake, panhongonya dzine vhudzi dzaavo vanorambira muzvivi zvavo.
But God will crush the head of his enemies, the hairy skull of him who walketh in his guiltiness.
22 Ishe anoti, “Ndichavabvisa kubva kuBhashani; ndichavabudisa kubva kwakadzika kwegungwa,
The Lord hath said, From Bashan will I bring back, I will bring back from the depths of the sea:
23 kuti unyike tsoka dzako muropa ravavengi vako, ndimi dzembwa dzako dzichiwanawo mugove wadzo.”
In order that thou mayest wade with thy feet in blood, feeding the tongue of thy dogs from the enemies' blood.
24 Mudungwe wenyu wakaonekwa, imi Mwari, mudungwe waMwari wangu naMambo achipinda munzvimbo tsvene.
Men see thy goings forth, O God! the goings forth of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 Mberi kuna vaimbi, vachiteverwa navaridzi vemitengeranwa; pamwe chete navarandakadzi vachiridza matambureni.
First come singers, then follow players on instruments, in the midst of maidens playing on timbrels.
26 Rumbidzai Mwari paungano huru; rumbidzai Mwari pagungano raIsraeri.
In assemblies bless ye God, [praise] the Lord, ye sprung from Israel's fountain.
27 Tarirai, rudzi ruduku rwaBhenjamini runovatungamirira, hawo machinda mazhinji aJudha, uye hawo machinda aZebhuruni neaNafutari.
There Benjamin the youngest leadeth them on, the princes of Judah in purple robes, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28 Danai simba renyu, imi Mwari; tiratidzei simba renyu, imi Mwari, sezvamakaita kare.
Thy God hath ordained the rule to thee: strengthen, O God, what thou hast wrought for us.
29 Nokuda kwetemberi yenyu paJerusarema, madzimambo achakuvigirai zvipo.
Because of thy temple over 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 wild beasts hiding among the reeds, the troops of steers among the calves of nations, that hasten along with presents of silver. He scattereth nations that are eager for the fight.
31 Nhume dzichabva kuIjipiti; Etiopia ichazviisa pasi paMwari.
Nobles will come out of Egypt: Ethiopia will stretch forth eagerly her hands unto God.
32 Imbirai Mwari, imi ushe hwepasi, rumbidzai Ishe nenziyo, Sera
Kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing praises unto the Lord: (Selah)
33 kuna iye anotasva matenga akare kumusoro, iye anobudisa inzwi rake, inzwi rine simba.
To him who rideth over the highest heavens, of ancient days: hear! he sendeth forth his voice, the voice of might.
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 skies.
35 Munotyisa imi Mwari, muri panzvimbo yenyu tsvene; Mwari waIsraeri anopa ushe nesimba kuvanhu vake. Mwari ngaarumbidzwe!
Thou art tremendous, O God, from thy holy residences: O God of Israel, [thou art] he that givest strength and power unto [thy] people. Blessed be God.
