Psalms

97

1Jehovha anobata ushe; nyika ngaifare kwazvo; Zviwi zvizhinji ngazvifare.
1Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.
2Makore nerima zvinomukomberedza; Kururama nokururamisa ndidzo nheyo dzechigaro chake choushe.
2Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
3Moto unotungamira pamberi pake, Uchipisa vadzivisi vake pamativi ose.
3Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.
4Mheni dzake dzakavheneka nyika yose; Pasi pakaona, ndokubvunda.
4Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.
5Makomo akanyauka senamo pamberi paJehovha, Pamberi paShe wapasi pose.
5Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.
6Kudenga-denga kunoparidza kururama kwake, Ndudzi dzose dzakaona kubwinya kwake.
6The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.
7Vose, vanoshumira mifananidzo yakaveziwa, vanonyadziswa, Ivo vanozvirumbidza pamusoro pezvifananidzo; Namatai kwaari, imwi vamwari vose
7Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
8Ziyoni rakanzwa ndokufara, Navakunda vaJudha vakafara kwazvo; Nokuda kwezvamakatonga, imwi Jehovha.
8Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9nekuti imwi Jehovha, muri kumusoro-soro kwapasi pose; Makakwirira kupfuura vamwari vose.
9For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.
10Vengai zvakaipa, imwi munoda Jehovha; Iye anochengeta mweya yavatsvene vake; Unovarwira paruoko rwawakaipa.
10Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.
11Chiedza chinodzvarirwa wakarurama, Nomufaro vane moyo yakarurama.
11Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.
12Farai munaJehovha, imwi vakarurama; Vongai pakurangarira utsvene hwake.
12Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
