Mapisarema 77
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Kuna Jedhutuni. Pisarema raAsafi. Ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari kuti andibatsire; ndakadana kuna Mwari kuti andinzwe.
“To the chief musician on Jeduthun, by Assaph a psalm.” [I lift up] my voice unto God, and I cry; [I lilt up] my voice unto God: do then give ear unto me.
2 Pandakanga ndiri pakutambudzika, ndakatsvaka Ishe; panguva yousiku ndakatambanudza maoko angu asinganeti, uye mweya wangu wakaramba kunyaradzwa.
On the day of my distress I sought the Lord; in the night my hand was stretched out, and did not cease: my soul refused to be comforted.
3 Haiwa Mwari, ndakakurangarirai, uye ndikagomera; ndakafungisisa, mweya wangu ukaziya. Sera
I think of God, and moan: I reflect, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Makakonesa meso angu kutsinzina; ndakatambudzika zvokuti ndakatadza kutaura.
Thou holdest my eyes awake: I am troubled and I cannot speak.
5 Ndakarangarira mazuva ekare, makore ekare kare;
I think over the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 ndakarangarira nziyo dzangu panguva yousiku. Mwoyo wangu wakafungisisa uye mweya wangu wakabvunza ukati,
I call to remembrance my song in the night; with my own heart I reflect: and my spirit maketh diligent search.
7 “Ko, Ishe acharamba nokusingaperi here? Haachazombonzwiri ngonizve here?
Will the Lord cast me off for ever? and will he never more give his favor again?
8 Ko, rudo rwake rusingaperi rwakabva nokusingaperi here? Chipikirwa chake chakakona nokusingaperi here? Sera
Is his kindness spent for ever? is his promise come to an end for all generations?
9 Ko, Mwari akanganwa kuva nenyasha here? Mukutsamwa kwake haachaitira tsiye dzake nyoro here?”
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he shut up in anger his mercies? (Selah)
10 Ipapo ndakafunga ndikati, “Ndichakumbira hangu pane izvozvi: makore oruoko rworudyi reWokumusoro-soro.”
And I said, This shall be my entreaty, [for] the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11 Ndicharangarira mabasa aJehovha; hongu, ndicharangarira zvishamiso zvenyu zvakare kare.
I will remember the deeds of the Lord; for I will remember out of ancient times thy wonders.
12 Ndichafungisisa pamusoro pamabasa enyu ose, uye ndicharangarira mabasa enyu makuru.
I will meditate also of all thy work, and on thy deeds will I reflect.
13 Haiwa Mwari, nzira dzenyu itsvene. Ndoupiko mwari mukuru saMwari wedu?
O God, in holiness is thy way: where is there a god so great as God?
14 Muri Mwari anoita zvishamiso; munoratidza simba renyu pakati pavanhu.
Thou art the God that dost wonders: thou hast made known among the people thy strength.
15 Noruoko rwenyu rune simba, makadzikinura vanhu venyu, izvo zvizvarwa zvaJakobho naJosefa. Sera
Thou hast redeemed with [a mighty] arm thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Mvura zhinji yakakuonai, imi Mwari, mvura zhinji yakakuonai ikatya; kwakadzika chaiko kwakabvunda.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they shook: also the depths trembled.
17 Makore akadurura mvura, kumatenga kwakaunga nokutinhira; miseve yenyu yakapenya kuno nokoko.
The clouds poured out water; the skies sent forth thunder: also thy arrows sped along.
18 Kutinhira kwenyu kwakanzwika muchamupupuri, kupenya kwenyu kwakavhenekera nyika; nyika yakadedera ikadengenyeka.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; lightnings gave light to the world; the earth trembled and quaked,
19 Gwara renyu rakapinda nomugungwa, nzira yenyu ikapinda nomumvura zhinji zhinji, kunyange zvazvo tsoka dzenyu dzakanga dzisingaonekwi.
Through the sea led thy way, and thy path was through mighty waters, and thy footsteps could not be known.
20 Makatungamirira vanhu venyu seboka ramakwai noruoko rwaMozisi naAroni.
Thou didst lead like a flock thy people by means of Moses and Aaron.
