Mapisarema 102

¹Inzwai munyengetero wangu, Jehovha, Kuchema kwangu ngakusvikire kwamuri.Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

²Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu pazuva rokutambudzika kwangu; Rerekerai nzeve yenyu kwandiri; Pazuva rokudana kwangu kurumidzai kundipindura.Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

³Nokuti mazuva angu anopera soutsi, Mapfupa angu anotsva sechitsa.For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

⁴moyo wangu warohwa souswa, waoma; Nokuti ndinokanganwa kudya zvokudya zvangu.My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

⁵Nokuda kwenzwi rokugomera kwangu Mapfupa angu anonamatira nyama yangu.By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

⁶Ndafanana nehukurwizi yomurenje; Ndava sezizi romumatongo.I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

⁷Handivati, ndafanana Neshiri iri yoga pamusoro pedenga reimba.I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

⁸Vavengi vangu vanondituka zuva rose; Avo vanondipengera vanonditukisa kwazvo.Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

⁹Nokuti ndakadya madota sezvokudya, Ndikavhenganisa zvokunwa zvangu nemisodzi.For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

¹⁰Nokuda kwehasha dzenyu nokutsamwa kwenyu; Nokuti makandisimudza mukandirasha.Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

¹¹Mazuva angu akafanana nomumvuri wareba; Ndaoma souswa.My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

¹²Asi imi Jehovha, muchavapo nokusingaperi; Marudzi namarudzi achakurangarirai.But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

¹³Imi muchasimuka, mukanzwira Ziyoni ngoni; Nokuti nguva yavapo yokurinzwira tsitsi, zvirokwazvo, nguva, yakatarwa, yasvika.Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

¹⁴Nokuti varanda venyu vanofarira mabwe aro, Vanonzwira tsitsi guruva raro.For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

¹⁵Naizvozvo vahedheni vachatya zita raJehovha, Namadzimambo ose apasi kubwinya kwenyu;So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

¹⁶Jehovha zvaakavaka Ziyoni, Akaonekwa nokubwinya kwake;When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

¹⁷Akava nehanya nomunyengetero wavakakamurwa, Akasazvidza munyengetero wavo.He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

¹⁸Izvi zvichanyorerwa rudzi runozouya; Vanhu, vachazosikwa, vacharumbidza Jehovha.This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

¹⁹Nokuti wakatarira pasi ari panzvimbo yake tsvene yakakwirira; Jehovha akacherekedza nyika ari kudenga;For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

²⁰Kuti anzwe kugomera kwomusungwa; Kuti asunungure vana vorufu;To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

²¹Kuti vanhu vaparidze zita raJehovha paZiyoni, Nokurumbidzwa kwake paJerusaremu;To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

²²Kana marudzi avanhu aungana, Noushe huzhinji, kuti vashumire Jehovha.When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

²³Wakatapudza simba rangu panzira; Wakafupisa mazuva angu.He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

²⁴Ndakati, Mwari wangu, regai kundibvisa mazuva angu achigere kusvika; Makore enyu anosvika kumarudzi namarudzi.I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁵Makateya nyika kare-kare; Nedenga rose ibasa ramaoko enyu.Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁶Zvichaparara izvo, asi imi muchagara muripo; Zvirokwazvo, izvozvo zvose zvichasakara senguvo; Muchazvishandura sechisimiro, zvikashanduka;They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

²⁷Asi imi hamushanduki, Makore enyu haangavi nomugumo.But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

²⁸Vana vavaranda venyu vachagara varipo, Navana vavo vachasimbiswa pamberi penyu.The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
