GIVE ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2 pamberi paEfuremu, Bhenjamini naManase. Mutsai simba renyu; uyai mutiponese.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.

Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 Makavapa chingwa chemisodzi kuti vadye; makaita kuti vanwe misodzi yakawanda.
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6 Makatiita mavambo enharo kuna vatigere navo, uye vavengi vedu vanotiseka.
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 Makabudisa muzambiringa kubva muIjipiti; makadzinga ndudzi mukaudyara.
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Makaukurira nzvimbo, uye ukava nemidzi ukazadza nyika.
Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 Makomo akanga akafukidzwa nomumvuri wawo, nemisidhari mikuru namatavi awo.
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 Wakatandavadza matavi awo kusvikira kuGungwa, namabukira awo kusvikira kuRwizi.
She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12 Seiko makaputsa masvingo awo kuti vose vanopfuura napo vanonge mazambiringa awo?
Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 Nguruve dzinobva musango dzinouparadza, uye zvisikwa zvesango zvinoudya.
The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 Dzokerai kwatiri, imi Mwari Wamasimba Ose! Tarirai muri kudenga muone! Rindai muzambiringa uyu,
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 iwo mudzi wakasimwa noruoko rwenyu rworudyi, mwanakomana wamakazvirerera.
And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 Muzambiringa wenyu watemerwa pasi, wapiswa nomoto; pakutuka kwenyu, vanhu venyu vanofa.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Ruoko rwenyu rworudyi ngarugare pamusoro pomunhu ari kurudyi kwenyu, mwanakomana womunhu wamakazvirerera.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18 Ipapo hatingazobvi kwamuri; timutsiridzei, tigodana kuzita renyu.
So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Tidzorei, imi Mwari Wamasimba Ose; penyesai chiso chenyu pamusoro pedu, kuti tiponeswe.
Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
