Pisarema 40
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi.
1 Ndakamirira Jehovha nomwoyo murefu;
iye akatendeukira kwandiri akanzwa kuchema kwangu.
2 Akandibudisa mugomba rakadzika,
kunze kwamatope netsvina;
akamisa tsoka dzangu padombo
akandipa nzvimbo yakasimba kuti ndimirepo.
3 Akaisa rwiyo rutsva mumuromo mangu,
rwiyo rwokurumbidza Mwari wedu.
Vazhinji vachaona, uye vachatya
uye vachaisa ruvimbo rwavo muna Jehovha.
4 Akaropafadzwa munhu
akaita Jehovha ruvimbo rwake,
asingatariri kuna vanozvikudza,
kuna avo vanotsaukira kuna vamwari venhema.
5 Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu,
zvizhinji zvishamiso zvamakaita.
Zvinhu zvamakatitongera hakuna
angazvirondedzera kwamuri;
dai ndingataura nokureva pamusoro pazvo,
zvaizowandisa kuzvizivisa.
6 Hamuna kufarira zvibayiro nezvipo,
asi nzeve dzangu makadziboora;
zvibayiro zvinopiswa nezvipiriso
zvezvivi hamuna kuzvireva.
7 Ipapo ndakati, “Ndiri pano hangu,
ndauya, zvakanyorwa mubhuku pamusoro pangu.
8 Ndinofarira kuita kuda kwenyu, imi Mwari wangu;
murayiro wenyu uri mukati momwoyo wangu.”
9 Ndinoparidza kururama paungano huru;
handidziviri miromo yangu,
sokuziva kwenyu, imi Jehovha.
10 Handivanzi kururama kwenyu mumwoyo mangu;
ndinotaura nezvokutendeka kwenyu noruponeso rwenyu.
Handivanzi rudo rwenyu nechokwadi chenyu
paungano huru.
11 Regai kundinyima ngoni dzenyu, imi Jehovha;
rudo rwenyu nechokwadi chenyu ngazvindidzivirire nguva dzose.
12 Nokuti matambudziko asingaverengeki akandikomberedza;
zvivi zvangu zvakandibata, uye handigoni kuona.
Zvakawanda kupfuura bvudzi romumusoro mangu,
uye mwoyo wangu waneta mukati mangu.
13 Haiwa Jehovha, kundiponesa ngakukufadzei;
haiwa Jehovha, kurumidzai kundibatsira.
14 Vose vanotsvaka kutora upenyu hwangu
ngavanyadziswe uye vanyonganiswe;
vose vanoda kuparadzwa kwangu
ngavadzoserwe shure vanyadziswe.
15 Avo vose vanoti kwandiri, “Hekani waro! Hekani waro!”
ngavavhundutswe nokuda kwenyadzi dzavo.
16 Asi vose vanokutsvakai
ngavafare uye vafarisise mamuri;
avo vanoda ruponeso rwenyu ngavarambe vachiti,
“Jehovha ngaakudzwe!”
17 Asi ndiri murombo nomushayiwi;
dai Ishe vandifungawo.
Ndimi mubatsiri wangu nomununuri wangu;
haiwa Mwari wangu, musanonoka henyu.
