Mapisarema 81
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema raAsafi. Imbirai Mwari nomufaro iye simba redu; danidzirai kuna Mwari waJakobho!
“To the chief musician upon Gittith; by Assaph.” Sing aloud unto God our strength: shout joyfully unto the God of Jacob.
2 Vambai rwiyo, muridze tambureni, ridzai mbira dzinonakidza nomutengeranwa.
Lift up psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Ridzai runyanga rwehwai paKugara kwoMwedzi, uye pakuchena kwomwedzi, pazuva roMutambo wedu;
Blow on the new moon the cornet, at the time appointed, on the day of our feast.
4 ichi ndicho chirevo chaIsraeri, chakatarwa naMwari waJakobho.
For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance by the God of Jacob.
5 Akachisimbisa somutemo wakanyorwa waJosefa panguva yaakandorwa neIjipiti, uko kwatakanzwa mutauro watakanga tisinganzwisisi.
As a testimony in Joseph did he ordain it, when he went out over the land of Egypt. The language of one I had not known did I hear.
6 Iye anoti, “Ndakabvisa mutoro pamapfudzi avo; maoko avo akasunungurwa padengu.
I removed from the burden his shoulder: his hands left behind the burden-basket.
7 Pakutambudzika kwako wakadana ini ndikakununura, ndakakupindura ndiri mugore rokutinhira; ndakakuedza pamvura zhinji yeMeribha. Sera
In distress thou didst call, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret of the 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 give warning unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldst but hearken unto me!
9 Pakati penyu ngaparege kuva namwari wavatorwa, musapfugamira mwari wokumwe.
There shall not be among thee a foreign God; nor shalt thou bow thyself down to any strange God.
10 Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva munyika yeIjipiti. Shamisa muromo wako kwazvo, ndigouzadza.
I am the Lord thy God, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open wide thy mouth, and I will fill it.
11 “Asi vanhu vangu havana kuda kundinzwa, Israeri haana kuda kuzviisa pasi pangu.
But my people did not hearken to my voice; and Israel was not willing [to follow] me.
12 Saka ndakavaregera paukukutu hwemwoyo yavo, kuti vatevere mano avo.
So I let them go in the stubbornness of their own hearts: and they walked 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!
In a little while would I subdue their enemies, and against their adversaries would I turn my hand.
15 Vaya vanovenga Jehovha vachatya pamberi pake, uye kurangwa kwavo kuchagara nokusingaperi.
The haters of the Lord should offer flattery unto him; but their time should endure for ever.
16 Asi imi muchagutswa nezviyo zvakaisvonaka; uye ndichakugutsai nouchi hunobva padombo.”
And he would feed him with the best of wheat: and out of the rock would I satisfy thee with honey.
