Mapisarema 88
1 Rwiyo. Pisarema ravanakomana vaKora. Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbirwo emaharati reanoti. Masikiri raHemani muEzrahi. Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari anondiponesa, ndakachema masikati nousiku pamberi penyu.
A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before thee:
2 Munyengetero wangu ngausvike pamberi penyu; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kukuchema kwangu.
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thy ear to my cry;
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ndinoverengwa pakati paavo vakaburukira kugomba; ndava somunhu asina simba.
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man [that hath] no strength:
5 Ndakatsaurwa pamwe chete navakafa, savakaurayiwa vavete muguva, vamusingacharangaririzve, vakagurwa kubva pakuchengeta kwenyu.
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
6 Makandiisa mugomba rakadzika dzika, murima guru makadzika dzika.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7 Hasha dzenyu dzinorema kwazvo pamusoro pangu, makandifukidza namafungu enyu ose. Sera
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. (Selah)
8 Makanditorera shamwari dzangu dzapedyo, uye mukandiita chinhu chinonyangadza. Ndakapfigirwa uye handingatongopunyuki;
Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 meso angu asviba neshungu. Ndinodana kwamuri, imi Jehovha, mazuva ose; ndinotambanudzira maoko angu kwamuri.
My eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee.
10 Ko, munoratidza zvishamiso zvenyu kuna vakafa here? Ko, vakafa vanomuka vachikurumbidzai here? Sera
Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and] praise thee? (Selah)
11 Ko, rudo rwenyu runoparidzwa muguva, nokutendeka kwenyu mukuparadzwa here?
Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? [or] thy faithfulness in destruction?
12 Ko, zvishamiso zvenyu zvinozivikanwa munzvimbo yerima, kana mabasa akarurama enyu munyika yokukanganwa here?
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Asi ndinochemera rubatsiro kwamuri, imi Jehovha; mangwanani, munyengetero wangu unosvika pamberi penyu.
But to thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
14 Seiko, imi Jehovha, muchindiramba uye muchindivanzira chiso chenyu?
LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?
15 Kubvira pauduku hwangu, ndakatambudzika zvokutosvika pedyo norufu; ndatambudzika nokutyisa kwenyu uye handisisina tariro.
I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up: [while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16 Hasha dzenyu dzakapfuura napamusoro pangu; kutyisa kwenyu kwandiparadza.
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17 Zuva rose zvakandipoteredza samafashamu; ndakaputirwa nazvo chose.
They came around me daily like water; they encompassed me together.
18 Makanditorera shamwari dzangu navadikani vangu; rima ndiyo shamwari yangu iri pedyo.
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] my acquaintance into darkness.
