Mapisarema 35
1 Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Haiwa Jehovha, kakavadzanai navanokakavadzana neni; rwisai avo vanondirwisa.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
2 Torai nhoo huru neduku; simukai, uye uyai mundibatsire.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
3 Vheyesai pfumo guru nepfumo diki murwise avo vanonditevera. Muti kumweya wangu, “Ndini ruponeso rwako.”
Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Vanotsvaka kundiuraya ngavazvidzwe uye vanyadziswe; vanorangana kuparadzwa kwangu ngavadzoserwe shure vachitya.
Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
5 Ngavaite sehundi pamberi pemhepo, mutumwa waJehovha achivasundira kure;
Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
6 nzira yavo ngaisvibe uye itsvedze, mutumwa waJehovha achivateverera.
Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
7 Sezvo vakandivanzira mimbure yavo ndisina mhosva, uye vakandicherera gomba ndisina mhosva,
For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
8 kuparadzwa ngakuvawire pakarepo, mumbure wavakavanza ngauvapinge ivo, ngavawire mugomba ravo vaparare.
Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
9 Ipapo mweya wangu uchafara muna Jehovha, uye uchafarira ruponeso rwake.
But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.
10 Zvandiri zvose zvichadanidzira zvichiti: “Ndianiko akaita semi, Jehovha? Munonunura varombo kubva kuna avo vane simba kupinda ravo.”
All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
11 Zvapupu zvino utsinye zvinouya mberi; zvinondibvunza pamusoro pezvinhu zvandisingazivi.
Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.
12 Vanotsiva zvakanaka zvangu nezvakaipa, uye vanosiya mweya wangu uchidzungaira.
They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
13 Asi pavairwara, ndakafuka nguo dzamasaga ndikazvininipisa nokutsanya. Munyengetero wangu pawakadzokera kwandiri usina mhinduro,
But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.
14 ndakafamba-famba ndichichema kunge ndinochemera shamwari yangu kana hama yangu. Ndakakotamisa musoro wangu ndichichema, sokunge ndinochema mai vangu.
I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbour [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
15 Asi pandakagumburwa, vakaungana vachifara; varwi vakaungana kuzondirwisa ndisingazivi. Vakandireva vasingaregi.
Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
16 Savanhu vasina Mwari vakandiseka muruvengo rwavo; vakandirumanyira meno avo.
They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
17 Haiwa Jehovha, muchasvika riniko makangotarira? Nunurai upenyu hwangu kubva pakuparadza kwavo, noupenyu hwangu hunokosha kubva pashumba idzi.
O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.
18 Ndichakuvongai paungano huru; ndichakurumbidzai pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.
19 Ngavarege kufara pamusoro pangu avo vanondivenga ndisina mhosva; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva ngavarege kuchonyerana meso avo mukundivenga.
Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
20 Havatauri norugare, asi vanofunga kupomera mhosva pamusoro pavanogara norunyararo munyika.
For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
21 Vanondishamira miromo yavo vachiti, “Hekani waro! Hekani waro! Tazviona nameso edu.”
And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
22 Haiwa Jehovha, mazviona izvi; regai kunyarara. Regai kuva kure neni, imi Ishe.
Thou hast seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [thyself] from me.
23 Mukai uye simukai mundirwire! Ndirwirei, Mwari wangu naIshe wangu.
Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Ndiruramisirei mukururama kwenyu, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu; musarega vachifara pamusoro pangu.
Judge me, O Lord, according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
25 Musarega vachifunga mumwoyo mavo vachiti, “Hekani waro, ndizvo zvatanga tichida!” kana kuti vati, “Tamumedza chose.”
Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
26 Vose vanofarira kutambudzika kwangu ngavanyadziswe uye vanyonganiswe; vose vanozvisimudzira pamusoro pangu ngavafukidzwe nenyadzi nokuzvidzwa.
Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.
27 Vose vanofarira kururamisirwa kwangu ngavapembere nomufaro nokufarisisa; ngavarambe vachiti, “Jehovha ngaakudzwe, iye anofarira kugara zvakanaka kwavaranda vake.”
Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
28 Rurimi rwangu ruchataura zvokururama kwenyu, uye nezvokurumbidzwa kwenyu zuva rose.
And my tongue shall meditate on thy righteousness, [and] on thy praise all the day.
