Psalms 44
1 God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba waVanakomana vaKora. Masikiri. Haiwa Mwari, takanzwa nenzeve dzedu; madzibaba edu akatiudza zvamakaita pamazuva avo, pamazuva ekare.
2 [They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
Noruoko rwenyu makadzinga ndudzi uye mukasima madzibaba edu; makapwanya marudzi mukaita kuti madzibaba edu abudirire.
3 It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
Havana kuzviwanira nyika nomunondo wavo, uye ruoko rwavo haruna kuvakundisa; rwakanga rwuri ruoko rwenyu rworudyi, irwo ruoko rwenyu, nokupenya kwechiso chenyu, nokuti imi makavada.
4 You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
Ndimi Mambo wangu naMwari wangu, anorayira kukunda kwaJakobho.
5 It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
Kubudikidza nemi, tinosunda vavengi vedu shure; kubudikidza nezita renyu, tinotsika vavengi vedu netsoka dzedu.
6 I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
Handivimbi nouta hwangu, munondo wangu haundivigiri kukunda;
7 No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
asi imi munotipa kukunda pamusoro pavavengi vedu, munonyadzisa vadzivisi vedu.
8 We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
Tinozvirumbidza muna Mwari zuva rose, uye ticharumbidza zita renyu nokusingaperi. Sera
9 But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
Asi zvino matiramba uye matininipisa; hamuchabudi nehondo dzedu.
10 You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
Makaita kuti tidududze pamberi pavavengi vedu, uye vadzivisi vedu vakatipamba.
11 You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
Makatiramwira kumudyi samakwai uye makatiparadzira pakati pendudzi.
12 [It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
Makatengesa vanhu venyu pasina, hamuna kuwana kana chinhu pakuvatengesa.
13 People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
Makatiita chiseko kuvavakidzani vedu, chinozvidzwa nechinosekwa chaavo vakatipoteredza.
14 They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
Makatiita tsumo pakati pendudzi; vanhu vanotidzungudzira misoro.
15 All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
Kunyadziswa kwangu kuri pamberi pangu zuva rose, uye chiso changu chafukidzwa nenyadzi
16 I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
pakuseka kwaavo vanondizvidza nokundirwisa, nokuda kwomuvengi, agarira kutsiva.
17 All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
Zvose izvi zvakaitika kwatiri kunyange takanga tisina kukukanganwai, kana kuva vasina kutendeka kusungano yenyu.
18 We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
Mwoyo yedu yakanga isati yafuratira; tsoka dzedu dzakanga dzisati dzatsauka panzira yenyu.
19 But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
Asi makatipwanya mukatiita nzvimbo yamakava uye mukatifukidza nerima guru.
20 If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
Dai takanga takanganwa zita raMwari wedu, kana kutambanudzira maoko edu kuna mwari wavatorwa,
21 you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
Mwari haaizviziva here, sezvo achiziva zvakavanzika zvomwoyo?
22 But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.
Asi nokuda kwenyu takatarisana norufu zuva rose; tinotorwa samakwai anobayiwa.
23 [So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!
Mukai, imi Ishe! Munovatireiko? Zvisimudzei! Regai kutiramba nokusingaperi.
24 Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?
Ko, munovanzirei chiso chenyu muchikanganwa kutambudzika nokudzvinyirirwa kwedu?
25 We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.
Takawisirwa muguruva; miviri yedu inonamatira pavhu.
26 Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
Simukai mutibatsire; tidzikinurei nokuda kworudo rwenyu rusingaperi.
