< Mapisarema 7 >
1 Rwiyo rwaDhavhidhi, rwaakaimbira Jehovha pamusoro paKushi, muBhenjamini. Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, ndinovanda mamuri; ndiponesei uye mundirwire pane vose vanondidzinganisa,
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2 kuti varege kundibvambura seshumba nokundibvambura-bvambura pasina anondinunura.
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, kana ndichinge ndakaita izvi uye ndine mhosva pamaoko angu,
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4 kana ndakaita zvakaipa kuno uya akanga ane rugare neni kana kupamba muvengi wangu pasina mhaka,
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5 ipapo muvengi wangu ngaandidzinganise andibate; ngaatsike-tsike upenyu hwangu muvhu uye andivatise muguruva.
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.
6 Simukai, imi Jehovha pakutsamwa kwenyu; simukai murwise hasha dzavavengi vangu. Simukai, Mwari wangu; rayirai kururamisira.
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7 Marudzi akaungana ngaaungane akakupoteredzai. Vatongei imi muri kumusoro;
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8 Jehovha ngaatonge marudzi. Nditongei, imi Jehovha, zvakafanira kururama kwangu, zvakafanira kukwaniswa kwangu, imi Wokumusoro-soro.
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9 Haiwa, Mwari akarurama, iyemi munonzvera ndangariro nomwoyo, gumisai kuita nesimba kwavakaipa mugoita kuti vakarurama vagare zvakanaka.
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10 Nhoo yangu ndimi Mwari Wokumusoro-soro, iye anoponesa vane mwoyo yakarurama.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Mwari ndiye mutongi akarurama, iye Mwari anoratidza hasha dzake zuva nezuva.
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12 Kana munhu asingatendeuki, iye acharodza munondo wake; achakunga uta hwake agogadzirira.
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13 Agadzirira zvombo zvake zvinouraya; anozvigadzirira miseve yake inopisa.
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14 Iye ane mimba yezvakaipa akatakura mimba yokutambudzika achabereka nhema.
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15 Uyo anochera gomba, akaridzikisa achawira mugomba raachera.
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16 Zvakashata zvake zvichadzokera pamusoro wake; uye kumanikidza kwake kuchauya pamusoro wake.
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17 Ndichatenda Jehovha nokuda kwokururama kwake, uye ndichaimbira zita raJehovha Wokumusoro-soro nziyo dzokurumbidza.
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
