< Mapisarema 7 >
1 Rwiyo rwaDhavhidhi, rwaakaimbira Jehovha pamusoro paKushi, muBhenjamini. Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, ndinovanda mamuri; ndiponesei uye mundirwire pane vose vanondidzinganisa,
O YHWH my Elohim, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 kuti varege kundibvambura seshumba nokundibvambura-bvambura pasina anondinunura.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, kana ndichinge ndakaita izvi uye ndine mhosva pamaoko angu,
O YHWH my Elohim, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 kana ndakaita zvakaipa kuno uya akanga ane rugare neni kana kupamba muvengi wangu pasina mhaka,
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
5 ipapo muvengi wangu ngaandidzinganise andibate; ngaatsike-tsike upenyu hwangu muvhu uye andivatise muguruva.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
6 Simukai, imi Jehovha pakutsamwa kwenyu; simukai murwise hasha dzavavengi vangu. Simukai, Mwari wangu; rayirai kururamisira.
Arise, O YHWH, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 Marudzi akaungana ngaaungane akakupoteredzai. Vatongei imi muri kumusoro;
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 Jehovha ngaatonge marudzi. Nditongei, imi Jehovha, zvakafanira kururama kwangu, zvakafanira kukwaniswa kwangu, imi Wokumusoro-soro.
YHWH shall judge the people: judge me, O YHWH, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Haiwa, Mwari akarurama, iyemi munonzvera ndangariro nomwoyo, gumisai kuita nesimba kwavakaipa mugoita kuti vakarurama vagare zvakanaka.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous Elohim trieth the hearts and reins.
10 Nhoo yangu ndimi Mwari Wokumusoro-soro, iye anoponesa vane mwoyo yakarurama.
My defence is of Elohim, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 Mwari ndiye mutongi akarurama, iye Mwari anoratidza hasha dzake zuva nezuva.
Elohim judgeth the righteous, and El is angry with the wicked every day.
12 Kana munhu asingatendeuki, iye acharodza munondo wake; achakunga uta hwake agogadzirira.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Agadzirira zvombo zvake zvinouraya; anozvigadzirira miseve yake inopisa.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Iye ane mimba yezvakaipa akatakura mimba yokutambudzika achabereka nhema.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Uyo anochera gomba, akaridzikisa achawira mugomba raachera.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Zvakashata zvake zvichadzokera pamusoro wake; uye kumanikidza kwake kuchauya pamusoro wake.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Ndichatenda Jehovha nokuda kwokururama kwake, uye ndichaimbira zita raJehovha Wokumusoro-soro nziyo dzokurumbidza.
I will praise YHWH according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of YHWH most high.
