Mapisarema 84

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

For the leader. On the gittith. Of the Korahites, a psalm. How dearly loved is the place where you live, Lord of hosts!

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

How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to 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.

Even the sparrow has found her a home and the swallow a nest, to lay her young, near your altar, Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

4 Vakaropafadzwa avo vanogara mumba menyu; vanogara vachikurumbidzai. Sera

Happy those who live in your house, praising you evermore. (Selah)

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

Happy those whose strength is in you, people with pilgrim hearts.

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

As they pass through the valley of tears, they make it a place of fountains, clothed with the blessings of early rain.

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

From rampart to rampart on they march, till at last God reveals himself in Zion.

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

Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer, attend, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Behold, O God, our defender, and look upon 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 better a single day in your courts than a thousand in my own chambers: better stand at the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of ungodliness,

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

for the Lord is sun and shield, the Lord gives grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from the life that is blameless.

12 Haiwa Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, akaropafadzwa munhu anovimba nemi.

Lord of hosts, happy those whose trust is in you.
