Mapisarema 74
1 Masikiri raAsafi. Haiwa Mwari, makatirambireiko nokusingaperi? Kutsamwa kwenyu kwapfungairireiko pamusoro pamakwai anofudzwa nemi?
A Psalme to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe of thy pasture?
2 Rangarirai vanhu vamakatenga kare, rudzi rwenhaka yenyu, ivo vamakadzikinura, Gomo reZioni, pamaigara.
Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Dzorai nhambwe dzenyu mutarise matongo asingaperi, kuparadza ikoku kwose kwakauya nomuvengi pamusoro penzvimbo yenyu tsvene.
Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
4 Vavengi venyu vakaomba panzvimbo yamakasangana nesu; vakamisa mireza yavo sechiratidzo.
Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
5 Vakaita savanhu vanosimudza matemo kuti vateme dondo remiti.
He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
6 Vakaputsa zvose zvakavezwa namatemo avo nembezo.
But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
7 Vakapisira pasi nzvimbo yenyu tsvene; vakamhura ugaro hweZita renyu.
They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
8 Vakati mumwoyo yavo, “Tichavaputsa zvachose!” Vakapisa nzvimbo dzose dzokunamatira Mwari munyika.
They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God in the land.
9 Hatichaoni zviratidzo zvinoshamisa; hakuna muprofita akasara, pakati pedu hapana munhu anoziva kuti zvicharamba zvakadaro kusvikira rini.
We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.
10 Haiwa Mwari, muvengi acharamba achikushorai kusvikira riniko? Ko, muvengi acharamba achimhura zita renyu nokusingaperi here?
O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
11 Munodzoserereiko ruoko rwenyu shure, irwo ruoko rwenyu rworudyi? Rubvisei pamupendero wenguo yenyu muvaparadze!
Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
12 Asi imi, iyemi Mwari, ndimi mambo wangu kubva nakare; imi munouyisa ruponeso panyika.
Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
13 Ndimi makaganhura gungwa napakati nesimba renyu; makaputsa misoro yechikara chomumvura.
Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Ndimi makapwanya misoro yaRevhiatani, mukamuita chokudya chezvisikwa zvomugwenga.
Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
15 Ndimi makazarura zvitubu nehova; mukapwisa nzizi dzaigara dzichierera.
Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
16 Zuva nderenyu, uye usiku ndohwenyuwo; makasimbisa zuva nomwedzi.
The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
17 Ndimi makatara miganhu yose yenyika; mukaita zvose zhizha nechando.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Rangarirai kuti muvengi akakushorai sei, imi Jehovha, uye kuti mapenzi akamhura sei zita renyu.
Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
19 Regai kuisa upenyu hwenjiva yenyu kumhuka dzesango; regai kukanganwa nokusingaperi upenyu hwavanhu venyu vanonetswa.
Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
20 Ivai nehanya nesungano yenyu, nokuti mweya wokurwisana wazadza nzvimbo dzerima munyika.
Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
21 Musarega vakadzvinyirirwa vachidududza shure nenyadzi; varombo navanoshayiwa ngavarumbidze zita renyu.
Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
22 Simukai, imi Mwari, mutsigire mhaka yenyu; rangarirai kuti mapenzi anokushorai sei zuva rose.
Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
23 Regai kushayira hanya ruzha rwavadzivisi venyu, bope ravavengi venyu, rinoramba richikwira.
Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
