Mapisarema 79

¹Haiwa Mwari, vahedheni vakapinda panhaka yenyu; Vakasvibisa temberi yenyu tsvene; Jerusaremu vakariita dongo.O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

²Zvitunha zvavaranda venyu vakazvipa shiri dzokudenga zvive zvokudya zvadzo. Uye nyama yavatsvene venyu vakaipa zvikara zvapasi.The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

³Vakateura ropa ravo pose-pose paJerusaremu semvura; Vakashaiwa anovaviga.Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

⁴Tava chinhu chinoshorwa navatigere navo, Chinhu chinozvidzwa nechinosekwa navakatipoteredza.We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁵Haiwa Jehovha, mucharamba makatsamwa nokusingaperi kusvikira rinhiko? Godo renyu richapfuta somoto here?How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁶Dururai hasha dzenyu pamusoro pavahedheni vasingakuziviyi, Napamusoro poushe huzhinji, husingadi zita renyu.Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

⁷Nokuti vakapedza Jakobho, Vakaparadza ugaro hwake.For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

⁸Musarangarira kutirova pamusoro pezvakaipa zvamadzibaba edu; Ngoni dzenyu nyoro ngadzikurumidze kusangana nesu; nokuti taneta kwazvo.O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

⁹Tibatsirei, Mwari muponesi wedu, nokuda kwomukurumbira wezita renyu;Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.

¹⁰Vahedheni vacharevereiko, vachiti, Mwari wavo aripiko? Kutsihwa kweropa ravaranda venyu, rakateurwa, Ngakuzikanwe pakati pavahedheni pamberi pedu.Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

¹¹Kugomera kwomusungwa ngakusvike kwamuri; Noukuru hwesimba renyu chengetai vana vorufu;Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

¹²Mutsivire vagere nesu kanomwe pachipfuva chavo. Kushora kwavakakushorai nako, imi Ishe.And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

¹³Naizvozvo isu vanhu venyu, namakwai amafuro enyu, Tichakuvongai nokusingaperi; Ticharatidza kurumbidzwa kwenyu kumarudzi namarudzi.So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
