Mapisarema 81
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema raAsafi. Imbirai Mwari nomufaro iye simba redu; danidzirai kuna Mwari waJakobho!
For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Vambai rwiyo, muridze tambureni, ridzai mbira dzinonakidza nomutengeranwa.
Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Ridzai runyanga rwehwai paKugara kwoMwedzi, uye pakuchena kwomwedzi, pazuva roMutambo wedu;
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.
4 ichi ndicho chirevo chaIsraeri, chakatarwa naMwari waJakobho.
For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 Akachisimbisa somutemo wakanyorwa waJosefa panguva yaakandorwa neIjipiti, uko kwatakanzwa mutauro watakanga tisinganzwisisi.
He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, [Where] I heard a language that I knew not.
6 Iye anoti, “Ndakabvisa mutoro pamapfudzi avo; maoko avo akasunungurwa padengu.
I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.
7 Pakutambudzika kwako wakadana ini ndikakununura, ndakakupindura ndiri mugore rokutinhira; ndakakuedza pamvura zhinji yeMeribha. Sera
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 “Inzwai, imi vanhu vangu, uye ndichakuyambirai, kana mukada chete kunditeerera, imi Israeri!
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
9 Pakati penyu ngaparege kuva namwari wavatorwa, musapfugamira mwari wokumwe.
There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
10 Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva munyika yeIjipiti. Shamisa muromo wako kwazvo, ndigouzadza.
I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “Asi vanhu vangu havana kuda kundinzwa, Israeri haana kuda kuzviisa pasi pangu.
But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.
12 Saka ndakavaregera paukukutu hwemwoyo yavo, kuti vatevere mano avo.
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
13 “Kana vanhu vangu vakada kunditeerera, kana Israeri akada kutevera nzira dzangu,
Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
14 ndaikurumidza kukunda sei vavengi vavo nokurova vavengi vavo noruoko rwangu!
I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
15 Vaya vanovenga Jehovha vachatya pamberi pake, uye kurangwa kwavo kuchagara nokusingaperi.
The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.
16 Asi imi muchagutswa nezviyo zvakaisvonaka; uye ndichakugutsai nouchi hunobva padombo.”
He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.
