Mapisarema 84

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema ravanakomana vaKora. Ugaro hwenyu hwakanaka sei, imi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose!

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine presses. How amiable are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

2 Mweya wangu unopanga, uye unotoziya, nokuda kwezvivanze zvaJehovha; mwoyo wangu nenyama yangu zvinodana kuna Mwari mupenyu.

My soul longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in the living god.

3 Kunyange shiri diki yakazviwanira imba, nenyenganyenga yakazviwanirawo dendere kwaingachochonyera vana vayo, iyo nzvimbo iri pedyo nearitari yenyu, imi Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mambo wangu naMwari wangu.

Yes, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

4 Vakaropafadzwa avo vanogara mumba menyu; vanogara vachikurumbidzai. Sera

Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will praise you evermore. (Pause)

5 Vakaropafadzwa avo vane simba ravo mamuri, vakaisa mwoyo yavo parwendo rweZioni.

Blessed is the man whose help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up

6 Pavanopfuura nomuMupata weBhaka, vanouita nzvimbo yamatsime; mvura yomuzhizha inouzadzawo namadziva.

the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.

7 Vanowedzera simba pasimba, kusvikira mumwe nomumwe wavo amira pamberi paMwari muZioni.

They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

8 Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri, imi Mwari waJakobho. Sera

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. (Pause)

9 Haiwa Mwari, tariraiwo nhoo yedu; ringirai nenyasha dzenyu pamuzodziwa wenyu.

Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your anointed.

10 Zviri nani kuva pavazhe dzenyu kwezuva rimwe chete, kupfuura mazuva zviuru ndiri kumwe; ndingada zvangu kuva murindi womukova weimba yaMwari wangu kukunda kugara mumatende avakaipa.

For one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

11 Nokuti Jehovha Mwari ndiye zuva nenhoo; Jehovha anopa nyasha nokukudzwa; hapana chinhu chakanaka chaanganyima avo vanofamba zvakarurama.

For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

12 Haiwa Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, akaropafadzwa munhu anovimba nemi.

O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
