Mapisarema 75
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbiro okuti, “Regai kuparadza.” Pisarema raAsafi. Rwiyo. Tinokuvongai, imi Mwari, tinokuvongai, nokuti Zita renyu riri pedyo; vanhu vanotaura nezvamabasa enyu anoshamisa.
To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
2 Imi munoti, “Ndinosarudza nguva yakatarwa; ndini ndinotonga zvakarurama.
When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.
3 Panozununguka nyika yose navanhu vayo, ini ndini ndinobata mbiru dzayo zvakasimba. Sera
Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)
4 Kuna vanozvikudza ndinoti, ‘Regai kuzvikudzazve,’ uye kuna vakaipa, ndinoti, ‘Regai kusimudza nyanga dzenyu.
I have said to the boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'
5 Regai kusimudzira nyanga dzenyu kudenga; regai kutaura nemitsipa mikukutu.’”
Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
6 Hakuna munhu anobva kumabvazuva kana kumavirira, kana anobva kugwenga angasimudzira munhu.
For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.
7 Asi Mwari ndiye anotonga: Anoderedza mumwe, achisimudzira mumwe.
But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this He lifteth up.
8 Muruoko rwaJehovha mune mukombe uzere newaini inopupuma, yakavhenganiswa nezvinonhuhwira; anoidururira pasi, uye vakaipa vose vapanyika vanoinwa kusvikira pamasese ayo.
For a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
9 Kana ndirini, ndichaparidza izvi nokusingaperi; ndichaimbira Mwari waJakobho rwiyo rwokurumbidza.
And I — I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10 Ndichagura nyanga dzavakaipa vose, asi nyanga dzavakarurama dzichasimudzirwa kumusoro.
And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
