< Mapisarema 89 >
1 Masikiri raEtani muEzirahi. Ndichaimba nezvorudo rukuru rwaJehovha nokusingaperi; ndichazivisa kutendeka kwenyu nomuromo wangu kuzvizvarwa zvose.
I WILL sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 Ndichaparidza kuti rudo rwenyu runomira rwakasimba nokusingaperi, uye kuti muchasimbisa kutendeka kwenyu kudenga chaiko.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3 Imi makati, “Ndakaita sungano nomusanangurwa wangu, ndakapika kuna Dhavhidhi muranda wangu, ndichiti,
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 ‘Ndichasimbisa imba yako nokusingaperi, uye ndichasimbisa chigaro chako choushe kuzvizvarwa zvose.’” Sera
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. (Selah)
5 Matenga anorumbidza zvishamiso zvenyu, imi Jehovha, kutendeka kwenyuwo muungano yavatsvene.
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 Nokuti ndianiko kudenga kumusoro angaenzaniswa naJehovha? Ndianiko akaita saJehovha pakati pezvisikwa zvokudenga?
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
7 Mwari anotyiwa zvikuru paungano yavatsvene; iye anotyisa kwazvo kupfuura vose vakamupoteredza.
God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8 Haiwa Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose, ndianiko akaita semi? Mune simba, imi Jehovha, uye kutendeka kwenyu kunokupoteredzai.
O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9 Munotonga pamusoro pokusunda kwegungwa; mafungu aro paanosimuka, munoanyaradza.
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10 Makapwanya Rahabhi somumwe wavakaurayiwa; makaparadzira vavengi venyu noruoko rwenyu rune simba.
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11 Matenga ndeenyu, nenyika ndeyenyuwo; makavamba nyika nezvose zviri mairi.
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 Ndimi makasika kumusoro nezasi; Tabhori neHerimoni zvinoimbira zita renyu nomufaro.
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Ruoko rwenyu rune simba; chanza chenyu chakasimba, ruoko rwenyu rworudyi rwakasimudzwa.
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Kururama nokururamisira ndidzo nheyo dzechigaro chenyu choushe; rudo nokutendeka zvinokutungamirirai.
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
15 Vakaropafadzwa avo vakadzidza kukurumbidzai, vanofamba muchiedza pamberi penyu, imi Jehovha.
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
16 Vanofara muzita renyu zuva rose; vanofara mukururama kwenyu.
In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 Nokuti imi ndimi kubwinya nesimba ravo, uye nenyasha dzenyu munosimudzira runyanga rwedu.
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 Zvirokwazvo, nhoo yedu ndeyaJehovha, mambo wedu, iye Mutsvene oga waIsraeri.
For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Ipapo makataura muchiratidzo, mukati, kuvanhu venyu vakatendeka: “Ndakaisa simba pamusoro pemhare; ndakasimudzira jaya pakati pavanhu.
Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 Ndakawana Dhavhidhi muranda wangu; ndakamuzodza namafuta matsvene.
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 Ruoko rwangu ruchamutsigira; zvirokwazvo chanza changu chichamusimbisa.
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 Hakuna muvengi achamuripisa mutero; hakuna munhu akaipa achamudzvinyirira.
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 Ndichapwanya vavengi vake pamberi pake, uye ndicharovera pasi vadzivisi vake.
And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 Rudo rwangu rwakatendeka ruchava naye, uye runyanga rwake ruchasimudzirwa muzita rangu.
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 Ndichaisa ruoko rwake pamusoro pegungwa, ruoko rwake rworudyi pamusoro penzizi.
I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 Iye achadana kwandiri, achiti, ‘Ndimi Baba vangu, Mwari wangu, Dombo noMuponesi wangu.’
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Ndichamugadzawo kuti ave dangwe rangu, iye anokudzwa zvikuru pamadzimambo enyika.
Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 Ndichachengetedza rudo rwangu kwaari nokusingaperi, uye sungano yangu naye haitongoperi.
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 Ndichasimbisa imba yake nokusingaperi, uye nechigaro chake choushe chero matenga achingovapo.
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 “Kana vana vake vakasiya murayiro wangu, uye vakasatevera zvandakatema,
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 kana vakazvidza mitemo yangu, uye vakakoniwa kuchengeta mirayiro yangu,
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 ndicharanga chivi chavo neshamhu, uye kuipa kwavo nokurova kukuru;
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 asi handizobvisi rudo rwangu kwavari, kana kuzombopandukira kutendeka kwangu.
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 Handizozvidzi sungano yangu kana kushandura zvakarehwa nemiromo yangu.
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Kamwe chete, ndakapika noutsvene hwangu, uye handingarevi nhema kuna Dhavhidhi,
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 kuti imba yake icharamba iripo nokusingaperi uye chigaro chake choushe chichagara pamberi pangu sezuva;
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 chichasimbiswa nokusingaperi somwedzi, chapupu chakatendeka chiri kudenga.” Sera
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. (Selah)
38 Asi imi makaramba, makavenga, makatsamwira kwazvo muzodziwa wenyu.
But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39 Makaparadza sungano yomuranda wenyu uye mukasvibisa korona yake muguruva.
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 Makaputsa masvingo ake ose mukaita nhare dzake matongo.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
41 Vose vanopfuura napo vanomupamba; ava chiseko chavavakidzani vake.
All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Makasimudzira ruoko rworudyi rwavavengi vake; makaita kuti vavengi vake vose vafare.
Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43 Makadzosera shure munondo wake unopinza, uye hamuna kumutsigira pakurwa.
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44 Makagumisa kubwinya kwake, mukawisira pasi chigaro chake choushe.
Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45 Makatapudza mazuva oujaya hwake; makamufukidza nejasi renyadzi. Sera
The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
46 Haiwa Jehovha kusvikira riniko? Muchazvivanza nokusingaperi here? Hasha dzenyu dzichapisa somoto kusvikira riniko?
How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47 Rangarirai kuti upenyu hwangu hunopfuura sei. Nokuti makasikira vanhu vose zvisina maturo!
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
48 Ko, munhu ndoupi angararama akasaona rufu, kana angazviponesa pasimba reguva? Sera (Sheol )
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? (Selah) (Sheol )
49 Haiwa Ishe, rudo rwenyu rukuru rwekare rwuripiko, irwo rwamakapika nokutendeka kwenyu kuna Dhavhidhi?
Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
50 Rangarirai, Ishe kuti muranda wenyu aisekwa sei, kuti ndaitakura sei muchipfuva changu kutuka kwendudzi dzose,
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
51 kutuka uko vavengi venyu vaikusekai nako, imi Jehovha, pavaiseka nhambwe imwe neimwe yomuzodziwa wenyu.
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52 Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe nokusingaperi!
Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
