Mapisarema 77
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Kuna Jedhutuni. Pisarema raAsafi. Ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari kuti andibatsire; ndakadana kuna Mwari kuti andinzwe.
For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of Asaph. I cry out to God for help—I even shout. If only he would listen to me!
2 Pandakanga ndiri pakutambudzika, ndakatsvaka Ishe; panguva yousiku ndakatambanudza maoko angu asinganeti, uye mweya wangu wakaramba kunyaradzwa.
When I was in trouble I prayed to the Lord. All night long I stretched out my hands to him in prayer but nothing brought me any comfort.
3 Haiwa Mwari, ndakakurangarirai, uye ndikagomera; ndakafungisisa, mweya wangu ukaziya. Sera
I thought about God, groaning loudly; I meditated on him, but I was discouraged. (Selah)
4 Makakonesa meso angu kutsinzina; ndakatambudzika zvokuti ndakatadza kutaura.
You stop me going to sleep; I'm so upset I can't even talk.
5 Ndakarangarira mazuva ekare, makore ekare kare;
I think of the old days, years ago.
6 ndakarangarira nziyo dzangu panguva yousiku. Mwoyo wangu wakafungisisa uye mweya wangu wakabvunza ukati,
I remember the songs I sung in the night. I meditate and ask myself:
7 “Ko, Ishe acharamba nokusingaperi here? Haachazombonzwiri ngonizve here?
Has the Lord given up on me forever? Won't he ever be pleased with me again?
8 Ko, rudo rwake rusingaperi rwakabva nokusingaperi here? Chipikirwa chake chakakona nokusingaperi here? Sera
Has his trustworthy love disappeared forever? Have his promises permanently ended?
9 Ko, Mwari akanganwa kuva nenyasha here? Mukutsamwa kwake haachaitira tsiye dzake nyoro here?”
Has God forgotten to be kind? Has he angrily slammed the door shut on his compassion? (Selah)
10 Ipapo ndakafunga ndikati, “Ndichakumbira hangu pane izvozvi: makore oruoko rworudyi reWokumusoro-soro.”
Then I said, “This is what hurts me the most: the Most High doesn't treat me the way he used to.”
11 Ndicharangarira mabasa aJehovha; hongu, ndicharangarira zvishamiso zvenyu zvakare kare.
I remember what you have done, Lord; I remember all the wonderful things you did long ago.
12 Ndichafungisisa pamusoro pamabasa enyu ose, uye ndicharangarira mabasa enyu makuru.
I will think about all you have accomplished; I will think deeply about how you have acted.
13 Haiwa Mwari, nzira dzenyu itsvene. Ndoupiko mwari mukuru saMwari wedu?
God, your ways are holy; is any god as great as you?
14 Muri Mwari anoita zvishamiso; munoratidza simba renyu pakati pavanhu.
You are the God who does wonderful things! You have revealed your power to the nations.
15 Noruoko rwenyu rune simba, makadzikinura vanhu venyu, izvo zvizvarwa zvaJakobho naJosefa. Sera
Through your strength you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Mvura zhinji yakakuonai, imi Mwari, mvura zhinji yakakuonai ikatya; kwakadzika chaiko kwakabvunda.
When the waters saw you, God, when they looked they trembled! Yes, they shook down to the very depths!
17 Makore akadurura mvura, kumatenga kwakaunga nokutinhira; miseve yenyu yakapenya kuno nokoko.
The clouds poured rain down; the skies crashed with thunder; your lightning flew like arrows.
18 Kutinhira kwenyu kwakanzwika muchamupupuri, kupenya kwenyu kwakavhenekera nyika; nyika yakadedera ikadengenyeka.
Your thunder rumbled from the whirlwind; lightning flashes lit up the world; the earth quaked and shook.
19 Gwara renyu rakapinda nomugungwa, nzira yenyu ikapinda nomumvura zhinji zhinji, kunyange zvazvo tsoka dzenyu dzakanga dzisingaonekwi.
Your way led through the sea; your path passed through the deep sea; yet your footprints were invisible.
20 Makatungamirira vanhu venyu seboka ramakwai noruoko rwaMozisi naAroni.
You led your people like a flock, shepherded by Moses and Aaron.
