Mapisarema 7
1 Rwiyo rwaDhavhidhi, rwaakaimbira Jehovha pamusoro paKushi, muBhenjamini. Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, ndinovanda mamuri; ndiponesei uye mundirwire pane vose vanondidzinganisa,
A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush, the son of Jemini. O Lord, my God, in you I have hoped. Save me from all those who persecute me, and free me:
2 kuti varege kundibvambura seshumba nokundibvambura-bvambura pasina anondinunura.
lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.
3 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, kana ndichinge ndakaita izvi uye ndine mhosva pamaoko angu,
O Lord, my God, if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have done this:
4 kana ndakaita zvakaipa kuno uya akanga ane rugare neni kana kupamba muvengi wangu pasina mhaka,
if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:
5 ipapo muvengi wangu ngaandidzinganise andibate; ngaatsike-tsike upenyu hwangu muvhu uye andivatise muguruva.
let the enemy pursue my soul, and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, and drag down my glory into the dust. (Pause)
6 Simukai, imi Jehovha pakutsamwa kwenyu; simukai murwise hasha dzavavengi vangu. Simukai, Mwari wangu; rayirai kururamisira.
Rise up, Lord, in your anger. And be exalted to the borders of my enemies. And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded,
7 Marudzi akaungana ngaaungane akakupoteredzai. Vatongei imi muri kumusoro;
and a congregation of people will surround you. And, because of this, return on high.
8 Jehovha ngaatonge marudzi. Nditongei, imi Jehovha, zvakafanira kururama kwangu, zvakafanira kukwaniswa kwangu, imi Wokumusoro-soro.
The Lord judges the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice and according to my innocence within me.
9 Haiwa, Mwari akarurama, iyemi munonzvera ndangariro nomwoyo, gumisai kuita nesimba kwavakaipa mugoita kuti vakarurama vagare zvakanaka.
The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God.
10 Nhoo yangu ndimi Mwari Wokumusoro-soro, iye anoponesa vane mwoyo yakarurama.
Just is my help from the Lord, who saves the upright of heart.
11 Mwari ndiye mutongi akarurama, iye Mwari anoratidza hasha dzake zuva nezuva.
God is a just judge, strong and patient. How could he be angry throughout every day?
12 Kana munhu asingatendeuki, iye acharodza munondo wake; achakunga uta hwake agogadzirira.
Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. He has extended his bow and made it ready.
13 Agadzirira zvombo zvake zvinouraya; anozvigadzirira miseve yake inopisa.
And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. He has produced his arrows for those on fire.
14 Iye ane mimba yezvakaipa akatakura mimba yokutambudzika achabereka nhema.
Behold him who has given birth to injustice: he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.
15 Uyo anochera gomba, akaridzikisa achawira mugomba raachera.
He has opened a pit and enlarged it. And he has fallen into the hole that he made.
16 Zvakashata zvake zvichadzokera pamusoro wake; uye kumanikidza kwake kuchauya pamusoro wake.
His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, and his iniquity will descend upon his highest point.
17 Ndichatenda Jehovha nokuda kwokururama kwake, uye ndichaimbira zita raJehovha Wokumusoro-soro nziyo dzokurumbidza.
I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High.
