¹Regai kunyarara, Mwari wokurumbidza kwangu;

²nekuti vakandishamisira muromo wowakaipa, uye muromo unonyengedzera; Vakandireva norurimi rune nhema.

²for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.

³Vakandikombawo namashoko embengo, Vakarwa neni pasina mhosva.

³They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

⁴Pakuvada kwangu vava vadzivisi vangu; Asi ini ndinonyengetera hangu.

⁴In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.

⁵Vakanditsivira zvakaipa pane zvakanaka, zvandakavaitira, Nembengo pakuvada kwangu.

⁵They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁶Isai munhu akaipa ave ishe wake; Mudzivisi ngaamire paruoko rwake rworudyi.

⁶Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.

⁷Kana achitongwa, ngaapiwe mhosva; Munyengetero wake ngaushandurwe zvivi.

⁷When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.

⁸Mazuva ake ngaave mashoma; Mumwe ngaatore basa rake.

⁸Let his days be few. Let another take his office.

⁹Vana vake ngavave nherera, Uye mukadzi wake ngaave chirikadzi.

⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

¹⁰Vana vake ngavave vadzungairi, navapemhi; Ngavatsvake zvokudya kure namatongo avo.

¹⁰Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.

¹¹Waakadyira chikwereti ngaatore zvose zvaanazvo; Vatorwa ngavapambe zvose zvaakabatira.

¹¹Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.

¹²Ngakushaikwe munhu anomunzwira tsitsi; Ngakushaikwe munhu anetsitsi nenherera dzake.

¹²Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.

¹³Vana vake ngavarove; Zita ravo ngaridzimwe parudzi runotevera.

¹³Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

¹⁴Zvakaipa zvamadzibaba ake ngazvirangarirwe naJehovha; Zvivi zvamai vake ngazvirege kudzimwa.

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁵Ngazvirambe zviri pamberi paJehovha nguva dzose, Kuti aparadze kurangarirwa kwavo pasi.

¹⁵Let them be before Yahweh continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;

¹⁶Nemhaka yokuti haana kurangarira kunzwira tsitsi, Asi wakatambudza murombo nomushaiwi, Neanomoyo wakaputsika, kuti avauraye.

¹⁶because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.

¹⁷Zvirokwazvo, kutuka ndizvo zvaakada, zvikauyawo kwaari; Kukomborera haana kukufarira kukagara kure naye.

¹⁷Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.

¹⁸Akazvifukidzawo nokutuka, zvikaita senguvo yake, Zvikapinda mukati make semvura, Samafuta mumafupa ake.

¹⁸He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

¹⁹Ngazvive kwaari sechisimiro chaanofukidza nacho, Segwarada raakazvisunga naro nguva dzose.

¹⁹Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

²⁰Uyu ndiwo mubayiro wavadzivisi vangu, unobva kuna Jehovha, nowavanotaurira mweya wangu zvakaipa.

²⁰This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh, of those who speak evil against my soul.

²¹Asi imwi Jehovha Ishe, ndiitirei zvakanaka nokuda kwezita renyu; tsitsi dzenyu zvadzakanaka, ndirwirei.

²¹But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

²²nekuti ndiri murombo nomushaiwi, Nomoyo wangu wakakuvadzwa mukati mangu.

²²for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

²³Ndaenda somumvuri wareba; Ndapepereswa semhashu.

²³I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.

²⁴Mabvi angu haachine simba nokutsanya; Nyama yangu yaonda nokushaiwa mafuta.

²⁴My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

²⁵Ndavawo chinhu chinozvidzwa navo; Kana vachindiona vanodzungudza misoro yavo.

²⁵I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

²⁶Ndibatsirei, Jehovha, Mwari wangu; Ndiponesei netsitsi dzenyu.

²⁶Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

²⁷Kuti vazive kuti ndirwo ruoko rwenyu; Kuti imwi Jehovha, ndimwi makazviita.

²⁷that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.

²⁸Ngavatuke havo, asi imwi ropafadzai; Kana vachisimuka, vachanyadziswa, asi muranda wenyu achafara kwazvo.

²⁸They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.

²⁹Vadzivisi vangu ngavafukidzwe nokunyadziswa, Ngavazvifukidze nokunyara kwavo sejasi.

²⁹Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

³⁰Ndichavonga Jehovha kwazvo nomuromo wangu; Zvirokwazvo, ndichamurumbidza pakati pavazhinji.

³⁰I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.

³¹nekuti iye achamira kuruoko rworudyi rwomushaiwi, Kuti amuponese panavanotonga mweya wake.

³¹For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
