Mapisarema 115

¹Isu kwete, Jehovha, isu kwete, Asi zita renyu ngarikudzwe, Nokuda kwengoni dzenyu, uye nokuda kwokutendeka kwenyu.Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

²Vahedheni vachareverei, vachiti, Ko Mwari wavo zvino uripi?Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

³Asi Mwari wedu ari kudenga-denga; Akaita zvose zvaakada.But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

⁴Zvifananidzo zvavo sirivha nendarama, Basa ramaoko avanhu.Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

⁵Zvinemiromo, asi hazvitauri; nameso zvinawo, asi hazvioni;They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

⁶Zvinenzeve, asi hazvinzwi; Nemhino zvinadzo, asi hazvinhuwidzi;They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

⁷zvina maoko, asi hazvibati; Namakumbo zvinawo, asi hazvifambi; Hazvitauri napahuro pazvo.They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

⁸Ivo vanozviita vachafanana nazvo; Zvirokwazvo, navose vanovimba nazvo.They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

⁹lwe Isiraeri, vimba naJehovha; Ndiye mubatsiri wavo nenhovo yavo.O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹⁰Iwe imba yaAroni, vimba naJehovha; Ndiye mubatsiri wavo nenhovo yavo.O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹¹Imi munotya Jehovha, vimbai naJehovha; Ndiye mubatsiri wavo nenhovo yavo.Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹²Jehovha akatirangarira; iye achatiropafadza; Acharopafadza imba yaIsiraeri, Acharopafadza imba yaAroni.The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³Acharopafadza vanotya Jehovha, Vaduku navakuru vose.He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

¹⁴Jehovha acharamba achikuwanzai, Imi navana venyu.The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

¹⁵Imi makaropafadzwa naJehovha, Iye akaita kudenga napasi.Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

¹⁶Kudenga-denga ndiko kudenga-denga kwaJehovha; Asi pasi akapa vanakomana vavanhu.The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

¹⁷Vakafa havarumbidzi Jehovha, Kunyange ani naani anoburukira kwakanyarara;The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

¹⁸Asi isu hedu tichakudza Jehovha Kubva panguva ino kusvika pakusingaperi. Hareruya!But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
