Mapisarema 71
1 Ndinovanda mamuri, imi Jehovha; ngandirege kutongonyadziswa.
In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be disappointed for all time.
2 Ndinunurei uye mundirwire mukururama kwenyu; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri uye mundiponese.
You deliver me in Your righteousness, And cause me to escape, Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
3 Ivai bako rangu rokuvanda kwandingaramba ndichienda; rayirai kuti ndiponeswe, nokuti ndimi dombo rangu nenhare yangu.
Be a rock to me—a habitation, To go in continually, You have given command to save me, For You [are] my rock and my bulwark.
4 Haiwa Mwari wangu, ndirwirei, paruoko rwowakaipa, pakubatwa navanhu vakaipa uye vane utsinye.
O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
5 Nokuti muri tariro yangu, imi Ishe Jehovha, ndakavimba nemi kubva pauduku hwangu.
For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, My trust from my youth.
6 Ndakazendamira pamuri kubva pakuberekwa kwangu; ndimi makandibudisa mudumbu ramai vangu. Ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai.
I have been supported from the womb by You, You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, My praise [is] continually in You.
7 Ndava sechishamiso kuvazhinji, asi imi muri utiziro hwangu hwakasimba.
I have been as a wonder to many, And You [are] my strong refuge.
8 Muromo wangu uzere nerumbidzo yenyu, ndinoparidza kubwinya kwenyu zuva rose.
My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, All the day [with] Your beauty.
9 Regai kundirasa pandinenge ndakwegura; musandisiya kana simba rangu rapera.
Do not cast me off at the time of old age, Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power.
10 Nokuti vavengi vangu vanotaura zvakaipa pamusoro pangu; avo vakamirira kundiuraya vanorangana pamwe chete.
For my enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
11 Vanoti, “Mwari amusiya; muteverei mumubate, nokuti hakuna achamununura.”
Saying, “God has forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.”
12 Regai kuva kure neni, imi Mwari; uyai nokukurumidza, imi Mwari wangu, mundibatsire.
O God, do not be far from me, O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Vapomeri vangu ngavaparare vanyadziswe; vaya vanoda kundikuvadza ngavafukidzwe nokusekwa nokunyadziswa.
They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
14 Asi kana ndirini, ndichagara ndine tariro; ndicharamba ndichikurumbidzai zvakanyanya.
And I continually wait with hope, And have added to all Your praise.
15 Muromo wangu uchareva zvokururama kwenyu, nezvoruponeso rwenyu zuva rose, kunyange ndisingazivi chiyero charwo.
My mouth recounts Your righteousness, All the day Your salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
16 Ndichauya ndichiparidza mabasa enyu makuru, imi Ishe Jehovha; ndichaparidza kururama kwenyu, iyemi moga.
I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 Kubva pauduku hwangu, imi Mwari, makandidzidzisa, nanhasi uno ndinoparidza mabasa enyu anoshamisa.
God, You have taught me from my youth, And until now I declare Your wonders.
18 Kunyange pandinenge ndakwegura uye bvudzi rachena, musandisiya, imi Mwari, kusvikira ndaparidza simba renyu kurudzi runotevera, nesimba renyu kuna vose vari kuzouya.
And also to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to a generation, Your might to everyone that comes.
19 Kururama kwenyu kunosvika kudenga kumusoro, imi Mwari, iyemi makaita zvinhu zvikuru. Haiwa Mwari, ndiani akafanana nemi?
And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, Because You have done great things, O God, who [is] like You?
20 Kunyange imi makandiratidza matambudziko mazhinji uye anorwadza, muchadzosa upenyu hwangu zvakare; kubva kwakadzika kwepasi muchandibudisazve.
Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, You turn back—You revive me, And from the depths of the earth, You turn back—You bring me up.
21 Muchawedzera kukudzwa kwangu, uye muchandinyaradzazve.
You increase my greatness, And You surround—You comfort me,
22 Ndichakurumbidzai nembira nokuda kwokutendeka kwenyu, imi Mwari wangu; ndichakurumbidzai nenziyo nomutengeranwa, imi Mutsvene woga waIsraeri.
I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
23 Miromo yangu ichadanidzira nomufaro pandinokurumbidzai nenziyo, iyeni, wamakadzikinura.
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, And my soul that You have redeemed,
24 Rurimi rwangu ruchataura nezvamabasa enyu akarurama zuva rose, nokuti avo vaida kundikuvadza vanyadziswa uye vakanganiswa.
My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
