Mapisarema 7
1 Rwiyo rwaDhavhidhi, rwaakaimbira Jehovha pamusoro paKushi, muBhenjamini. Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, ndinovanda mamuri; ndiponesei uye mundirwire pane vose vanondidzinganisa,
A musical composition of David, which he sang to Yahweh concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. Yahweh my God, I take refuge in you! Save me from all who chase me, and rescue me.
2 kuti varege kundibvambura seshumba nokundibvambura-bvambura pasina anondinunura.
Otherwise, they will rip me apart like a lion, tearing me in pieces with no one else able to bring me to safety.
3 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, kana ndichinge ndakaita izvi uye ndine mhosva pamaoko angu,
Yahweh my God, if I have done this, and there is guilt on my hands—
4 kana ndakaita zvakaipa kuno uya akanga ane rugare neni kana kupamba muvengi wangu pasina mhaka,
if I have done evil to him who was at peace with me, or senselessly harmed my enemy without cause, then hear my words.
5 ipapo muvengi wangu ngaandidzinganise andibate; ngaatsike-tsike upenyu hwangu muvhu uye andivatise muguruva.
Then let my enemy pursue my life and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and lay my honor in the dust. (Selah)
6 Simukai, imi Jehovha pakutsamwa kwenyu; simukai murwise hasha dzavavengi vangu. Simukai, Mwari wangu; rayirai kururamisira.
Arise, Yahweh, in your anger; stand up against the rage of my enemies; wake up for my sake and carry out the righteous decrees that you have commanded for them.
7 Marudzi akaungana ngaaungane akakupoteredzai. Vatongei imi muri kumusoro;
The countries are assembled all around you; take once more your rightful place over them.
8 Jehovha ngaatonge marudzi. Nditongei, imi Jehovha, zvakafanira kururama kwangu, zvakafanira kukwaniswa kwangu, imi Wokumusoro-soro.
Yahweh, judge the nations; vindicate me, Yahweh, because I am righteous and innocent, Most High.
9 Haiwa, Mwari akarurama, iyemi munonzvera ndangariro nomwoyo, gumisai kuita nesimba kwavakaipa mugoita kuti vakarurama vagare zvakanaka.
May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous people, righteous God, you who examine hearts and minds.
10 Nhoo yangu ndimi Mwari Wokumusoro-soro, iye anoponesa vane mwoyo yakarurama.
My shield comes from God, the one who saves the upright in heart.
11 Mwari ndiye mutongi akarurama, iye Mwari anoratidza hasha dzake zuva nezuva.
God is a righteous judge, a God who is indignant each day.
12 Kana munhu asingatendeuki, iye acharodza munondo wake; achakunga uta hwake agogadzirira.
If a person does not repent, God will sharpen his sword and will prepare his bow for battle.
13 Agadzirira zvombo zvake zvinouraya; anozvigadzirira miseve yake inopisa.
He prepares to use weapons against him; he makes his arrows flaming shafts.
14 Iye ane mimba yezvakaipa akatakura mimba yokutambudzika achabereka nhema.
Think about the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, who gives birth to harmful lies.
15 Uyo anochera gomba, akaridzikisa achawira mugomba raachera.
He digs a pit and hollows it out and then falls into the hole he has made.
16 Zvakashata zvake zvichadzokera pamusoro wake; uye kumanikidza kwake kuchauya pamusoro wake.
His own destructive plans return to his own head, for his violence comes down on his own head.
17 Ndichatenda Jehovha nokuda kwokururama kwake, uye ndichaimbira zita raJehovha Wokumusoro-soro nziyo dzokurumbidza.
I will give thanks to Yahweh for his justice; I will sing praise to Yahweh Most High.
