Mapisarema 71
1 Ndinovanda mamuri, imi Jehovha; ngandirege kutongonyadziswa.
In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 Ndinunurei uye mundirwire mukururama kwenyu; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri uye mundiponese.
In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
3 Ivai bako rangu rokuvanda kwandingaramba ndichienda; rayirai kuti ndiponeswe, nokuti ndimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu.
Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
4 Haiwa Mwari wangu, ndirwirei, paruoko rwowakaipa, pakubatwa navanhu vakaipa uye vane utsinye.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
5 Nokuti muri tariro yangu, imi Ishe Jehovha, ndakavimba nemi kubva pauduku hwangu.
For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6 Ndakazendamira pamuri kubva pakuberekwa kwangu; ndimi makandibudisa mudumbu ramai vangu. Ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai.
I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
7 Ndava sechishamiso kuvazhinji, asi imi muri utiziro hwangu hwakasimba.
I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8 Muromo wangu uzere nerumbidzo yenyu, ndinoparidza kubwinya kwenyu zuva rose.
My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
9 Regai kundirasa pandinenge ndakwegura; musandisiya kana simba rangu rapera.
Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Nokuti vavengi vangu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu; avo vakamirira kundiuraya vanorangana pamwe chete.
For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
11 Vanoti, “Mwari amusiya; muteverei mumubate, nokuti hakuna achamununura.”
saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
12 Regai kuva kure neni, imi Mwari; uyai nokukurumidza, imi Mwari wangu, mundibatsire.
Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
13 Vapomeri vangu ngavaparare vanyadziswe; vaya vanoda kundikuvadza ngavafukidzwe nokusekwa nokunyadziswa.
May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 Asi kana ndirini, ndichagara ndine tariro; ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai zvakanyanya.
But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
15 Muromo wangu uchareva zvokururama kwenyu, nezvoruponeso rwenyu zuva rose, kunyange ndisingazivi chiyero charwo.
My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
16 Ndichauya ndichiparidza mabasa enyu makuru, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndichaparidza kururama kwenyu, iyemi moga.
I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 Kubva pauduku hwangu, imi Mwari, makandidzidzisa, nanhasi uno ndinoparidza mabasa enyu anoshamisa.
O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
18 Kunyange pandinenge ndakwegura uye bvudzi rachena, musandisiya, imi Mwari, kusvikira ndaparidza simba renyu kurudzi runotevera, nesimba renyu kuna vose vari kuzouya.
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
19 Kururama kwenyu kunosvika kudenga kumusoro, imi Mwari, iyemi makaita zvinhu zvikuru. Haiwa Mwari, ndiani akafanana nemi?
Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
20 Kunyange imi makandiratidza matambudziko mazhinji uye anorwadza, muchadzosa upenyu hwangu zvakare; kubva kwakadzika kwepasi muchandibudisazve.
Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
21 Muchawedzera kukudzwa kwangu, uye muchandinyaradzazve.
You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
22 Ndichakurumbidzai nembira nokuda kwokutendeka kwenyu, imi Mwari wangu; ndichakurumbidzai nenziyo nomutengeranwa, imi Mutsvene woga waIsraeri.
So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Miromo yangu ichadanidzira nomufaro pandinokurumbidzai nenziyo, iyeni, wamakadzikinura.
When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
24 Rurimi rwangu ruchataura nezvamabasa enyu akarurama zuva rose, nokuti avo vaida kundikuvadza vanyadziswa uye vakanganiswa.
My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
