Psalms 81
1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaimbirwo egititi. Pisarema raAsafi. Imbirai Mwari nomufaro iye simba redu; danidzirai kuna Mwari waJakobho!
2 Take up the psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Vambai rwiyo, muridze tambureni, ridzai mbira dzinonakidza nomutengeranwa.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
Ridzai runyanga rwehwai paKugara kwoMwedzi, uye pakuchena kwomwedzi, pazuva roMutambo wedu;
4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
ichi ndicho chirevo chaIsraeri, chakatarwa naMwari waJakobho.
5 He appointed it in Joseph for testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
Akachisimbisa somutemo wakanyorwa waJosefa panguva yaakandorwa neIjipiti, uko kwatakanzwa mutauro watakanga tisinganzwisisi.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were freed from the basket.
Iye anoti, “Ndakabvisa mutoro pamapfudzi avo; maoko avo akasunungurwa padengu.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Pakutambudzika kwako wakadana ini ndikakununura, ndakakupindura ndiri mugore rokutinhira; ndakakuedza pamvura zhinji yeMeribha. Sera
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
“Inzwai, imi vanhu vangu, uye ndichakuyambirai, kana mukada chete kunditeerera, imi Israeri!
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Pakati penyu ngaparege kuva namwari wavatorwa, musapfugamira mwari wokumwe.
10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva munyika yeIjipiti. Shamisa muromo wako kwazvo, ndigouzadza.
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
“Asi vanhu vangu havana kuda kundinzwa, Israeri haana kuda kuzviisa pasi pangu.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.
Saka ndakavaregera paukukutu hwemwoyo yavo, kuti vatevere mano avo.
13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
“Kana vanhu vangu vakada kunditeerera, kana Israeri akada kutevera nzira dzangu,
14 I should soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
ndaikurumidza kukunda sei vavengi vavo nokurova vavengi vavo noruoko rwangu!
15 The haters of the LORD should submit themselves unto him: but their time should endure for ever.
Vaya vanovenga Jehovha vachatya pamberi pake, uye kurangwa kwavo kuchagara nokusingaperi.
16 He should feed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I satisfy thee.
Asi imi muchagutswa nezviyo zvakaisvonaka; uye ndichakugutsai nouchi hunobva padombo.”
