Mapisarema 77
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Kuna Jedhutuni. Pisarema raAsafi. Ndakadanidzira kuna Mwari kuti andibatsire; ndakadana kuna Mwari kuti andinzwe.
“For the leader of the music of the Jeduthunites. A psalm of Asaph.” I call upon God; I cry aloud for help; I call upon God, that he would hear me!
2 Pandakanga ndiri pakutambudzika, ndakatsvaka Ishe; panguva yousiku ndakatambanudza maoko angu asinganeti, uye mweya wangu wakaramba kunyaradzwa.
In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; In the night is my hand stretched forth continually; My soul refuseth to be comforted.
3 Haiwa Mwari, ndakakurangarirai, uye ndikagomera; ndakafungisisa, mweya wangu ukaziya. Sera
I remember God, and am disquieted; I think of him, and my spirit is overwhelmed.
4 Makakonesa meso angu kutsinzina; ndakatambudzika zvokuti ndakatadza kutaura.
Thou keepest mine eyelids from closing; I am distressed, so that I cannot speak!
5 Ndakarangarira mazuva ekare, makore ekare kare;
I think of 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 songs in the night; I meditate in my heart, And my spirit inquireth:
7 “Ko, Ishe acharamba nokusingaperi here? Haachazombonzwiri ngonizve here?
Will the Lord be angry for ever? Will he be favorable no more?
8 Ko, rudo rwake rusingaperi rwakabva nokusingaperi here? Chipikirwa chake chakakona nokusingaperi here? Sera
Is his mercy utterly withdrawn for ever? Doth his promise fail from generation to generation?
9 Ko, Mwari akanganwa kuva nenyasha here? Mukutsamwa kwake haachaitira tsiye dzake nyoro here?”
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his compassion?
10 Ipapo ndakafunga ndikati, “Ndichakumbira hangu pane izvozvi: makore oruoko rworudyi reWokumusoro-soro.”
Then I say, “This is mine affliction, A change in the right hand of the Most High.”
11 Ndicharangarira mabasa aJehovha; hongu, ndicharangarira zvishamiso zvenyu zvakare kare.
I remember the deeds of Jehovah; I think of thy wonders of old.
12 Ndichafungisisa pamusoro pamabasa enyu ose, uye ndicharangarira mabasa enyu makuru.
I meditate on all thy works, And talk of thy doings.
13 Haiwa Mwari, nzira dzenyu itsvene. Ndoupiko mwari mukuru saMwari wedu?
Thy ways, O God! are holy! Who so great a god as our God?
14 Muri Mwari anoita zvishamiso; munoratidza simba renyu pakati pavanhu.
Thou art a God who doest wonders; Thou hast manifested thy power among the nations.
15 Noruoko rwenyu rune simba, makadzikinura vanhu venyu, izvo zvizvarwa zvaJakobho naJosefa. Sera
With thy strong arm thou didst redeem thy people, —The sons of Jacob and Joseph.
16 Mvura zhinji yakakuonai, imi Mwari, mvura zhinji yakakuonai ikatya; kwakadzika chaiko kwakabvunda.
The waters saw thee, O God! The waters saw thee, and feared, And the deep trembled.
17 Makore akadurura mvura, kumatenga kwakaunga nokutinhira; miseve yenyu yakapenya kuno nokoko.
The clouds poured out water, The skies sent forth thunder, And thine arrows flew.
18 Kutinhira kwenyu kwakanzwika muchamupupuri, kupenya kwenyu kwakavhenekera nyika; nyika yakadedera ikadengenyeka.
Thy thunder roared in the whirlwind; Thy lightning illumined the world; The earth trembled and shook.
19 Gwara renyu rakapinda nomugungwa, nzira yenyu ikapinda nomumvura zhinji zhinji, kunyange zvazvo tsoka dzenyu dzakanga dzisingaonekwi.
Thy way was through the sea, And thy path through great waters; And thy footsteps could not be found.
20 Makatungamirira vanhu venyu seboka ramakwai noruoko rwaMozisi naAroni.
Thou didst lead thy people like a flock, By the hands of Moses and Aaron.
