< Mapisarema 82 >
1 Pisarema raAsafi. Mwari anogara paungano huru; anotonga pakati pa“vamwari” achiti,
Ihubo lika-Asafi UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu; nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”:
2 “Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera
“Koze kube nini livikela ababi na libonakala lithanda izigangi?
3 Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.
Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane; melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.
4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.
Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo; bephuleni esandleni sababi.
5 “Havana chavanoziva, havana chavanonzwisisa. Vanongofamba-famba murima; nheyo dzose dzenyika dzinozungunuswa.
Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho. Bayantula emnyameni; zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.
6 “Ndakati, ‘Muri vamwari; imi mose muri vanakomana veWokumusoro-soro.’
Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”; lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’
7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”
Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje; lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.”
8 Simukai, imi Mwari, mutonge nyika, nokuti ndudzi dzose inhaka yenyu.
Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba, ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
