Mapisarema 69
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbirwo a“Maruva eMahapa.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Ndiponesei, imi Mwari, nokuti mvura zhinji yakwira kusvikira pamutsipa wangu.
To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of David. Be my saviour, O God; because the waters have come in, even to my neck.
2 Ndinonyura munhope yakadzika, pasina pangatsika makumbo angu. Ndapinda mumvura yakadzika; ndafukidzwa namafashamu.
My feet are deep in the soft earth, where there is no support; I have come into deep waters, the waves are flowing over me.
3 Ndaneta nokuridza mhere yokuti ndibatsirwe; huro dzangu dzaoma, meso angu aneta nokumirira Mwari wangu.
I am tired with my crying; my throat is burning: my eyes are wasted with waiting 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 have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.
5 Munoziva upenzi hwangu, imi Mwari; mhaka yangu haina kuvanzika kwamuri.
O God, you see how foolish I am; and my wrongdoing is clear to you.
6 Vaya vane tariro mamuri ngavarege kunyadziswa nokuda kwangu, haiwa Ishe, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose; vanokutsvakai ngavarege kunyadziswa nokuda kwangu, haiwa Mwari waIsraeri.
Let not those who have hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord God of armies: let not those who are waiting for you be made low because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Nokuti ndinotsunga kusekwa hangu nokuda kwenyu, uye nyadzi dzafukidza chiso changu.
I have been wounded with sharp words because of you; my face has been covered with shame.
8 Ndiri mutorwa kuhama dzangu, nomweni kuvanakomana vamai vangu;
I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children.
9 nokuti kushingairira imba yenyu kwandipedza, uye kutuka kwaavo vanokutukai kunowira pamusoro pangu.
I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.
10 Pandinochema uye ndichitsanya, ndinofanira kushinga pakusekwa;
My bitter weeping, and my going without food, were turned to my shame.
11 pandinofuka nguo dzamasaga, vanhu vanondiita shumo.
When I put on the clothing of grief, they said evil of me.
12 Vaya vanogara pasuo vanondiseka, uye ndiri rwiyo rwezvidhakwa.
I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.
13 Asi ndinonyengetera kwamuri, imi Mwari, panguva inokufadzai; murudo rwenyu rukuru, imi Mwari, ndipindurei noruponeso rwenyu rwechokwadi.
But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.
14 Ndinunurei mumatope, musandirega ndichinyura; ndirwirei kuna vanondivenga, napamvura zhinji yakadzika.
Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.
15 Musatendera mvura yamafashamu kuti indifukidze, kana kwakadzika kuti kundimedze kana kuti gomba rizarure muromo waro pamusoro pangu.
Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.
16 Ndipindurei, imi Jehovha, zvichibva pakunaka kworudo rwenyu; dzokerai henyu kwandiri nokuda kwetsitsi dzenyu huru.
Give an answer to my words, O Lord; for your mercy is good: be turned to me, because of your great pity.
17 Regai kuvanzira muranda wenyu chiso chenyu; ndipindurei nokukurumidza, nokuti ndava mudambudziko.
Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.
18 Swederai pedyo mundinunure; ndidzikinurei nokuda kwavavengi vangu.
Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.
19 Munoziva kusekwa kwangu, kunyadziswa nokusakudzwa kwangu; vavengi vangu vose vari pamberi penyu.
You have seen my shame, how I was laughed at and made low; my haters are all before you.
20 Kusekwa kwaputsa mwoyo wangu, uye kwandisiya ndisisina chingandibatsira; Ndakatsvaka vangandinzwira ngoni, asi ndakavashaya, vangandinyaradza, asi ndakavashayazve.
My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter.
21 Vakaisa nduru mune zvokudya zvangu, uye vakandipa vhiniga pandaiva nenyota.
They gave me poison for my food; and bitter wine for my drink.
22 Tafura yagadzirwa pamberi pavo ngaive musungo; ngaive shamhu yokuranga neriva.
Let their table before them be for their destruction; let their feasts become a net to take them.
23 Meso avo ngaapofumadzwe kuti varege kuona, uye misana yavo iminame nokusingaperi.
Let their eyes be blind so that they may not see; let their bodies for ever be shaking.
24 Dururirai hasha dzenyu pamusoro pavo; kutsamwa kwenyu kunotyisa ngakuvakurire.
Let your curse come on them; let the heat of your wrath overtake them.
25 Nzvimbo yavo ngaisiyiwe; ngaparege kuva nomunhu anogara mumatende avo.
Give their houses to destruction, and let there be no one in their tents.
26 Nokuti vanotambudza vaya vamakarova, uye vanotaura pamusoro pokurwadziwa kwavakakuvadzwa nemi.
Because they are cruel to him against whom your hand is turned; they make bitter the grief of him who is wounded by you.
27 Vapei mhosva pamusoro pemhosva; ngavarege kuva nomugove woruponeso rwenyu.
Let their punishment be increased; let them not come into your righteousness.
28 Ngavadzimwe mubhuku roupenyu, uye varege kuverengwa pamwe chete navakarurama.
Let their names be taken from the book of the living, let them not be numbered with the upright.
29 Ndiri pakurwadziwa nenhamo; ruponeso rwenyu imi Mwari, ngarundidzivirire.
But I am poor and full of sorrow; let me be lifted up by your salvation, O Lord.
30 Ndicharumbidza zita raMwari norwiyo, uye ndichamukudza nokuvonga.
I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done.
31 Izvi zvichafadza Jehovha kukunda nzombe, kupfuura hando nenyanga dzayo, namahwanda ayo.
This will be more pleasing to the Lord than an ox, or a young ox of full growth.
32 Varombo vachazviona uye vachafara, imi vanotsvaka Mwari, mwoyo yenyu ngairarame!
The poor will see it and be glad: you who are lovers of God, let your hearts have life.
33 Jehovha anonzwa vanoshayiwa uye haashori vanhu vake vakatapwa.
For the ears of the Lord are open to the poor, and he takes thought for his prisoners.
34 Denga nenyika ngazvimurumbidze, makungwa nezvose zvinofamba, imomo,
Let the heavens and the earth give praise to him, the seas, and everything moving in them.
35 nokuti Mwari achaponesa Zioni agovakazve maguta aJudha. Ipapo vanhu vachagarako, vagoritora;
For God will be the saviour of Zion, and the builder of the towns of Judah; so that it may be their resting-place and heritage.
36 Vana vavaranda vake vacharipiwa senhaka, uye avo vanoda zita rake vachagara ikoko.
The seed of his servants will have their part in it, and there the lovers of his name will have rest.
