Mapisarema 79
1 Pisarema raAsafi. Haiwa Mwari, ndudzi dzapinda panhaka yenyu; vakasvibisa temberi yenyu tsvene, Jerusarema varideredza rikava marara.
O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; your holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2 Vakapa mitumbi yavaranda venyu sezvokudya zveshiri dzedenga, nyama yavatsvene venyu kuzvikara zvenyika.
The dead bodies of your servants have they given to be meat to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3 Vakateura ropa kunge mvura paJerusarema rose, uye hakuna munhu anoviga zvitunha.
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4 Tiri chinhu chinoshorwa navatigere navo, chinosekwa nechinozvidzwa kuna avo vakatipoteredza.
We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 Haiwa Jehovha, mucharamba makatitsamwira nokusingaperi kusvikira riniko? Godo renyu richapisa somoto kusvikira riniko?
How long, LORD? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Dururirai hasha dzenyu pamusoro pendudzi dzisingakuzive, napaushe husingadani kuzita renyu;
Pour out your wrath on the heathen that have not known you, and on the kingdoms that have not called on your name.
7 nokuti vakapedza Jakobho uye vakaparadza nyika yokwake.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8 Regai kuverengera pamusoro pedu zvivi zvamadzibaba; tsitsi dzenyu ngadzikurumidze kuuya kuzosangana nesu, nokuti tiri pakutambudzika.
O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9 Tibatsirei, imi Mwari Muponesi wedu, nokuda kwokukudzwa kwezita renyu; tirwirei mutiregerere zvivi zvedu nokuda kwezita renyu.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for your name’s sake.
10 Ndudzi dzichataurireiko dzichiti, “Mwari wavo aripi?” Zivisai pakati pendudzi, pamberi pedu, kuti munotsiva ropa ravaranda venyu rakateurwa.
Why should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of your servants which is shed.
11 Kugomera kwavasungwa ngakusvike pamberi penyu; nesimba roruoko rwenyu chengetedzai avo vakatongerwa rufu.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you; according to the greatness of your power preserve you those that are appointed to die;
12 Mutsive kanomwe pamabvi avavakidzani vedu, kutuka kwavakaita zita renyu, imi Ishe.
And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
13 Ipapo vanhu venyu, makwai amafuro enyu, vachakurumbidzai nokusingaperi; kubva kune chimwe chizvarwa kusvikira kune chimwe chizvarwa, ticharondedzera nezvokurumbidzwa kwenyu.
So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks for ever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.
