Mapisarema 81

¹Imbirai Mwari kwazvo, iye simba redu; Pururudzai kuna Mwari waJakobho.Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

²Vambai rwiyo, muridze ngoma, Nembira dzinonakidza nomutengeranwa.Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

³Ridzai hwamanda pakugara kwomwedzi, Napakuchena kwomwedzi, pamutambo wedu wakatarwa.Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

⁴Nokuti ndizvo zvakatemerwa Zvakarairwa naMwari waJakobho.For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

⁵Wakazvitema muna Josefa kuti chive chipupuriro, Panguva yaakandorwa nenyika yeIj ipiti; Pandakanzwa rurimi rwandakanga ndisingazivi.This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

⁶Ndakabvisa mutoro pafudzi rake; Maoko ake akaregedza dengu.I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

⁷Iwe wakadana pakutambudzika, ndikakurwira; Ndakakupindura ndiri panovanda kutinhira; Ndakakuidza pamvura zhinji yeMeribha.Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

⁸Inzwai vanhu vangu, ndikupupurirei; Haiwa Isiraeri, dai waida hako kunditeerera!Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;

⁹Ngakurege kuvapo pakati penyu mwari wokumwe; Musanamata kunomumwe mwari wavatorwa.There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

¹⁰Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, Akakubudisa panyika yeIjipiti; Shamisa muromo wako kwazvo, ndigouzadza.I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹Asi vanhu vangu havana kuteerera inzwi rangu; Isiraeri wakandiramba chose.But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.

¹²Saka ndakavaregera paukukutu hwemoyo yavo, Kuti vafambe namano avo.So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

¹³Haiwa, dai vanhu vangu vainditeerera havo, Dai Isiraeri aifamba nenzira dzangu!Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

¹⁴Ndingadai ndakakurumidza kukunda vavengi vavo, Nokurova vadzivisi vavo noruoko rwangu.I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

¹⁵Vanovenga Jehovha vaizviisa pasi pake; Asi nguva yavo yaivapo nokusingaperi.The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

¹⁶Angadai aivadyisawo zviyo zvakaisvonaka; Ndaikugutsa nohuchi hunobva padombo.He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
