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 our refuge throughout all generations.
2 Makomo asati azvarwa uye musati mabudisa nyika nepasi rose, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi muri Mwari.
Before the mountains were formed, or you formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 Munodzosera vanhu kuguruva zvakare, muchiti, “Dzokerai kuguruva, imi vanakomana vavanhu.”
You return man to dust, and you say, “Return, you descendants of mankind.”
4 Nokuti pamberi penyu makore chiuru akangofanana nezuva richangopfuura, kana senguva yokurinda usiku.
For a thousand years in your sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Munokukura vanhu pakuvata kworufu; vakaita sebundo idzva ramangwanani,
You sweep them away as with a flood and they sleep; in the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up.
6 kunyange richimera riri idzva mangwanani, nenguva yamadekwana rinenge raoma uye rasvava.
In the morning it blooms and grows up; in the evening it withers and dries up.
7 Tapera nokutsamwa kwenyu uye tinovhundutswa nehasha dzenyu.
Truly, we are consumed in your anger, and in your wrath we are terrified.
8 Makaisa zvakaipa zvedu pamberi penyu, makaisa zvivi zvedu zvakavanzika muchiedza chokuvapo kwenyu.
You have set our iniquities before you, our hidden sins in the light of your presence.
9 Mazuva edu ose anopfuura napasi pehasha dzenyu; tinopedza makore edu nokuchema.
Our life passes away under your wrath; our years quickly pass like a sigh.
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.
Our years are seventy, or even eighty if we are healthy; but even our best years are marked by trouble and sorrow. Yes, they pass quickly, and we fly away.
11 Ndianiko anoziva simba rokutsamwa kwenyu? Nokuti hasha dzenyu dzakakura sokutyiwa kwakakufanirai imi.
Who knows the intensity of your anger, and your wrath that is equal to the fear of you?
12 Tidzidzisei kuverenga mazuva edu zvakanaka, kuti tiwane mwoyo wouchenjeri.
So teach us to consider our life so that we might live wisely.
13 Dzokai, imi Jehovha! Zvichadaro kusvikira riniko? Ivai netsitsi pamusoro pavaranda venyu.
Turn back, Yahweh! How long will it be? Have pity on your servants.
14 Tigutsei mangwanani norudo rwenyu rusingaperi, kuti tigoimba nomufaro tigofara mazuva edu ose.
Satisfy us in the morning with your covenant faithfulness so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Tifadzei zvinoenzana namazuva amakatitambudza, samakore mazhinji atakaona nhamo.
Make us glad in proportion to the days you afflicted us and to the years we have experienced trouble.
16 Mabasa enyu ngaaratidzwe kuvaranda venyu, nokubwinya kwenyu kuvana vavo.
Let your servants see your work, and let our children see your majesty.
17 Nyasha dzaIshe Mwari wedu ngadzive pamusoro pedu; tisimbisirei mabasa amaoko edu, hongu, simbisai basa ramaoko edu.
May the favor of the Lord our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands; indeed, prosper the work of our hands.
