Mapisarema 69
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbirwo a“Maruva eMahapa.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndiponesei, imi Mwari, nokuti mvura zhinji yakwira kusvikira pamutsipa wangu.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.
2 Ndinonyura munhope yakadzika, pasina pangatsika makumbo angu. Ndapinda mumvura yakadzika; ndafukidzwa namafashamu.
I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.
3 Ndaneta nokuridza mhere yokuti ndibatsirwe; huro dzangu dzaoma, meso angu aneta nokumirira Mwari wangu.
I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.
4 Vanondivenga ndisina mhosva vakawanda kupfuura bvudzi romusoro wangu; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva vazhinji, avo vanotsvaka kundiparadza. Ndinomanikidzwa kudzosera zvandisina kuba.
Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me— my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.
5 Munoziva upenzi hwangu, imi Mwari; mhaka yangu haina kuvanzika kwamuri.
You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.
6 Vaya vane tariro mamuri ngavarege kunyadziswa nokuda kwangu, haiwa Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose; vanokutsvakai ngavarege kunyadziswa nokuda kwangu, haiwa Mwari waIsraeri.
May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.
7 Nokuti ndinotsunga kusekwa hangu nokuda kwenyu, uye nyadzi dzafukidza chiso changu.
For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.
8 Ndiri mutorwa kuhama dzangu, nomweni kuvanakomana vamai vangu;
I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,
9 nokuti kushingairira imba yenyu kwandipedza, uye kutuka kwaavo vanokutukai kunowira pamusoro pangu.
because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.
10 Pandinochema uye ndichitsanya, ndinofanira kushinga pakusekwa;
I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.
11 pandinofuka nguo dzamasaga, vanhu vanondiita shumo.
I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.
12 Vaya vanogara pasuo vanondiseka, uye ndiri rwiyo rwezvidhakwa.
Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
13 Asi ndinonyengetera kwamuri, imi Mwari, panguva inokufadzai; murudo rwenyu rukuru, imi Mwari, ndipindurei noruponeso rwenyu rwechokwadi.
But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.
14 Ndinunurei mumatope, musandirega ndichinyura; ndirwirei kuna vanondivenga, napamvura zhinji yakadzika.
Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.
15 Musatendera mvura yamafashamu kuti indifukidze, kana kwakadzika kuti kundimedze kana kuti gomba rizarure muromo waro pamusoro pangu.
Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.
16 Ndipindurei, imi Jehovha, zvichibva pakunaka kworudo rwenyu; dzokerai henyu kwandiri nokuda kwetsitsi dzenyu huru.
Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.
17 Regai kuvanzira muranda wenyu chiso chenyu; ndipindurei nokukurumidza, nokuti ndava mudambudziko.
Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!
18 Swederai pedyo mundinunure; ndidzikinurei nokuda kwavavengi vangu.
Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.
19 Munoziva kusekwa kwangu, kunyadziswa nokusakudzwa kwangu; vavengi vangu vose vari pamberi penyu.
You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.
20 Kusekwa kwaputsa mwoyo wangu, uye kwandisiya ndisisina chingandibatsira; Ndakatsvaka vangandinzwira ngoni, asi ndakavashaya, vangandinyaradza, asi ndakavashayazve.
Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.
21 Vakaisa nduru mune zvokudya zvangu, uye vakandipa vhiniga pandaiva nenyota.
They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.
22 Tafura yagadzirwa pamberi pavo ngaive musungo; ngaive shamhu yokuranga neriva.
May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.
23 Meso avo ngaapofumadzwe kuti varege kuona, uye misana yavo iminame nokusingaperi.
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
24 Dururirai hasha dzenyu pamusoro pavo; kutsamwa kwenyu kunotyisa ngakuvakurire.
Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.
25 Nzvimbo yavo ngaisiyiwe; ngaparege kuva nomunhu anogara mumatende avo.
May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26 Nokuti vanotambudza vaya vamakarova, uye vanotaura pamusoro pokurwadziwa kwavakakuvadzwa nemi.
For they persecute the one You struck and recount the pain of those You wounded.
27 Vapei mhosva pamusoro pemhosva; ngavarege kuva nomugove woruponeso rwenyu.
Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.
28 Ngavadzimwe mubhuku roupenyu, uye varege kuverengwa pamwe chete navakarurama.
May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.
29 Ndiri pakurwadziwa nenhamo; ruponeso rwenyu imi Mwari, ngarundidzivirire.
But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.
30 Ndicharumbidza zita raMwari norwiyo, uye ndichamukudza nokuvonga.
I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.
31 Izvi zvichafadza Jehovha kukunda nzombe, kupfuura hando nenyanga dzayo, namahwanda ayo.
And this will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.
32 Varombo vachazviona uye vachafara, imi vanotsvaka Mwari, mwoyo yenyu ngairarame!
The humble will see and rejoice. You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!
33 Jehovha anonzwa vanoshayiwa uye haashori vanhu vake vakatapwa.
For the LORD listens to the needy and does not despise His captive people.
34 Denga nenyika ngazvimurumbidze, makungwa nezvose zvinofamba, imomo,
Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
35 nokuti Mwari achaponesa Zioni agovakazve maguta aJudha. Ipapo vanhu vachagarako, vagoritora;
For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.
36 Vana vavaranda vake vacharipiwa senhaka, uye avo vanoda zita rake vachagara ikoko.
The descendants of His servants will inherit it, and those who love His name will settle in it.
