Mapisarema 14

¹Benzi rakati mumoyo maro, Mwari haako. Vakaora, vakabata mabasa anonyangadza; Hapana anoita zvakanaka.The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

²Jehovha ari kudenga, akatarira pasi kuvana vavanhu, Kuti aone kana akachenjera aripo, Anotsvaka Mwari.The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

³Vakatsauka vose, vakasvibiswa pamwechete; Hapana anoita zvakanaka, kunyange nomumwe.They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁴Ko vaiti vose vezvakaipa havana zivo here? Ivo vanodya vanhu vangu sezvavanodya chingwa, Vasingadani kuna Jehovha.Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

⁵Vakanga vachitya zvikuru ipapo; Nokuti Mwari anogara parudzi rwavakarurama.There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

⁶Munonyadzisa zano romurombo, Asi Jehovha ndiye utiziro hwake.Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

⁷Dai kuponeswa kwalsiraeri kwaibva paZiyoni! Kana Jehovha achidzosa vanhu vake pakutapwa, Ipapo Jakobho achafarisisa kwazvo, naIsiraeri achafara.Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
