Mapisarema 90
1 Munyengetero waMozisi munhu waMwari. Jehovha, imi makava ugaro hwedu kuzvizvarwa zvose.
A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD. Lord, You have been a habitation, To us—in generation and generation,
2 Makomo asati azvarwa uye musati mabudisa nyika nepasi rose, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi muri Mwari.
Before mountains were brought forth, And You form the earth and the world, Even from age to age You [are] God.
3 Munodzosera vanhu kuguruva zvakare, muchiti, “Dzokerai kuguruva, imi vanakomana vavanhu.”
You turn man to a bruised thing, And say, Return, you sons of men.
4 Nokuti pamberi penyu makore chiuru akangofanana nezuva richangopfuura, kana senguva yokurinda usiku.
For one thousand years in Your eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passes on, indeed, [as] a watch by night.
5 Munokukura vanhu pakuvata kworufu; vakaita sebundo idzva ramangwanani,
You have inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning he changes as grass.
6 kunyange richimera riri idzva mangwanani, nenguva yamadekwana rinenge raoma uye rasvava.
In the morning it flourishes, and has changed, At evening it is cut down, and has withered.
7 Tapera nokutsamwa kwenyu uye tinovhundutswa nehasha dzenyu.
For we were consumed in Your anger, And we have been troubled in Your fury.
8 Makaisa zvakaipa zvedu pamberi penyu, makaisa zvivi zvedu zvakavanzika muchiedza chokuvapo kwenyu.
You have set our iniquities before You, Our hidden things at the light of Your face,
9 Mazuva edu ose anopfuura napasi pehasha dzenyu; tinopedza makore edu nokuchema.
For all our days pined away in Your wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
10 Uwandu hwamazuva edu hunosvika makore makumi manomwe, kana makumi masere, kana tiine simba; kunyange zvakadaro uwandu hwawo hunongova nhamo nokusuwa, nokuti anokurumidza kupfuura, uye isu tobhururuka toenda.
The days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet their enlargement [is] labor and vanity, For it has been cut off quickly, and we fly away.
11 Ndianiko anoziva simba rokutsamwa kwenyu? Nokuti hasha dzenyu dzakakura sokutyiwa kwakakufanirai imi.
Who knows the power of Your anger? And according to Your fear—Your wrath?
12 Tidzidzisei kuverenga mazuva edu zvakanaka, kuti tiwane mwoyo wouchenjeri.
Let [us] know to number our days correctly, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
13 Dzokai, imi Jehovha! Zvichadaro kusvikira riniko? Ivai netsitsi pamusoro pavaranda venyu.
Turn back, O YHWH, until when? And regret concerning Your servants.
14 Tigutsei mangwanani norudo rwenyu rusingaperi, kuti tigoimba nomufaro tigofara mazuva edu ose.
Satisfy us at morning [with] Your kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
15 Tifadzei zvinoenzana namazuva amakatitambudza, samakore mazhinji atakaona nhamo.
Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein You have afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
16 Mabasa enyu ngaaratidzwe kuvaranda venyu, nokubwinya kwenyu kuvana vavo.
Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your honor on their sons.
17 Nyasha dzaIshe Mwari wedu ngadzive pamusoro pedu; tisimbisirei mabasa amaoko edu, hongu, simbisai basa ramaoko edu.
And let the pleasantness of our God YHWH be on us, And establish on us the work of our hands, Indeed, establish the work of our hands!
