< Mapisarema 86 >
1 Munyengetero waDhavhidhi. Inzwai, imi Jehovha, mundipindure, nokuti ndiri murombo uye ndinoshayiwa.
A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!
2 Chengetai upenyu hwangu, nokuti ndakazvipa kwamuri. Muri Mwari wangu; ponesai muranda wenyu anovimba nemi.
Don't let me die, for I am faithful to you. Save me, for I am your servant and I trust in you. You are my God.
3 Ndinzwirei ngoni, imi Ishe, nokuti ndinodana kwamuri zuva rose.
Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
4 Vigirai muranda wenyu mufaro, nokuti kwamuri, imi Ishe, ndinosimudzira mweya wangu.
Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.
5 Imi munokanganwira uye makanaka, imi Ishe, muzere norudo kuna vose vanodana kwamuri.
For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.
6 Inzwai munyengetero wangu, imi Jehovha; inzwai kuchemera kwangu ngoni dzenyu.
Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.
7 Ndichadana kwamuri pazuva rokutambudzika kwangu, nokuti muchandipindura.
When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.
8 Haiwa Ishe, hakuna akafanana nemi pakati pavamwari; hakuna mabasa akaita seenyu.
There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.
9 Ndudzi dzose dzamakaita dzichauya kuzonamata pamberi penyu, imi Ishe; dzicharumbidza zita renyu.
You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
10 Nokuti imi muri mukuru uye munoita zvinhu zvinoshamisa; imi moga ndimi Mwari.
For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.
11 Haiwa Jehovha, ndidzidzisei nzira yenyu, uye ndichafamba muzvokwadi yenyu; ndipei mwoyo mumwe, kuti ndigotya zita renyu.
Lord, please teach me your way, so I can depend on your trustworthiness. Make me single-minded, so I can consistently honor the kind of person you are.
12 Ndichakurumbidzai, imi Ishe Mwari wangu, nomwoyo wangu wose; ndicharumbidza zita renyu nokusingaperi.
Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.
13 Nokuti rudo rwenyu rukuru kwandiri; makandirwira paguva rakadzika. (Sheol )
For your trustworthy love for me is so great; you have saved me from death. (Sheol )
14 Haiwa Mwari, vanozvikudza vari kundirwisa; boka ravanhu vane utsinye rinotsvaka upenyu hwangu, vanhu vasina hanya nemi.
God, arrogant people are attacking me, vicious people are trying to kill me. To them you count for nothing.
15 Asi, imi Ishe, mune tsitsi uye muri Mwari ane nyasha, anononoka kutsamwa, azere norudo nokutendeka.
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.
16 Dzokerai kwandiri mundinzwire ngoni; ipai simba renyu kumuranda wenyu, uye muponese mwanakomana womurandakadzi wenyu.
Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
17 Ndipei chiratidzo chokunaka kwenyu, kuti vavengi vangu vazvione vagonyadziswa, nokuti imi Jehovha makandibatsira uye mukandinyaradza.
Show me a sign that you approve of me! Those who hate me will see it, and they will be ashamed because you, Lord, have helped me.
