Masalimo 109
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wamayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mulungu amene ndimakutamandani, musakhale chete,
Nkulunkulu wendumiso yami, ungathuli.
2 pakuti anthu oyipa ndi achinyengo atsekula pakamwa pawo kutsutsana nane; iwo ayankhula motsutsana nane ndi malilime abodza.
Ngoba umlomo wokhohlakeleyo lomlomo wenkohliso uvulekile umelene lami; bakhulume lami ngolimi lwamanga.
3 Andizungulira ndi mawu audani, amandinena popanda chifukwa.
Bangihanqa ngamazwi enzondo, balwa bemelene lami kungelasizatho.
4 Mʼmalo mwa chikondi changa amandineneza, koma ine ndine munthu wapemphero.
Esikhundleni sothando lwami bayizitha zami, kodwa mina ngisemkhulekweni.
5 Iwo amandibwezera zoyipa mʼmalo mwa zabwino, ndi udani mʼmalo mwa chikondi changa.
Basebengibuyisela okubi esikhundleni sokuhle, lenzondo esikhundleni sothando lwami.
6 Sankhani munthu woyipa kuti amutsutse iye; lolani wotsutsa ayime ku dzanja lake lamanja.
Umise omubi phezu kwakhe, loSathane kame ngakwesokunene sakhe.
7 Pamene aweruzidwa, apezeke kuti ndi wolakwa, ndipo mapemphero ake amutsutse.
Ekwahlulelweni kwakhe kaphume elecala; lomkhuleko wakhe ube yisono.
8 Masiku ake akhale owerengeka; munthu wina atenge malo ake a utsogoleri.
Insuku zakhe kazibe nlutshwana; omunye athathe isikhundla sakhe.
9 Ana ake akhale amasiye ndipo mkazi wake akhale wopanda mwamuna.
Abantwana bakhe kabangabi loyise, lomkakhe abe ngumfelokazi.
10 Ana ake akhale oyendayenda ndi opemphapempha; apirikitsidwe kuchoka pa mabwinja a nyumba zawo.
Abantwana bakhe kabazulazule bephanza isinkwa sabo, bacele bevela emanxiweni abo.
11 Wokongoza alande zonse zimene ali nazo; alendo afunkhe ntchito za manja ake.
Umebolekisi kabambe konke alakho, labezizweni baphange izithelo zomsebenzi wakhe.
12 Pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe womukomera mtima kapena kumvera chisoni ana ake amasiye.
Kungabi khona omelulela umusa, futhi kungabi khona ozwela intandane zakhe.
13 Zidzukulu zake zithe nʼkufa, mayina awo afafanizidwe mu mʼbado wotsatirawo.
Inzalo yakhe kayiqunywe, lebizo labo lesulwe esizukulwaneni esilandelayo.
14 Mphulupulu za makolo ake zikumbukiridwe pamaso pa Yehova; tchimo la amayi ake lisadzafafanizidwe.
Ububi baboyise bukhunjulwe eNkosini, lesono sikanina singesulwa.
15 Machimo awo akhale pamaso pa Yehova nthawi zonse, kuti Iye achotse chikumbutso chawo pa dziko lapansi.
Kabube phambi kweNkosi njalonjalo, ukuze aqume ukukhunjulwa kwabo kusuke emhlabeni.
16 Pakuti iye sanaganizirepo zochita chifundo, koma anazunza mpaka kuwapha anthu osauka ndi osweka mtima.
Ngenxa yokuthi wayengakhumbuli ukwenza umusa, kodwa wazingela umuntu ohluphekayo longumyanga, lodabukileyo enhliziyweni ukumbulala.
17 Anakonda kutemberera, matembererowo abwerere kwa iye; sanakondwe nʼkudalitsa anthu ena, choncho madalitso akhale kutali naye.
Njengoba wathanda ukuqalekisa, ngakho kakwehlele kuye; njengoba wayengathandi ukubusisa, ngakho kakube khatshana laye.
18 Anavala kutemberera ngati chovala; kutemberera kunalowa mʼthupi lake ngati madzi, kulowa mʼmafupa ake ngati mafuta.
Njengoba wagqoka isiqalekiso njengesigqoko sakhe, ngakho kakungene emibilini yakhe njengamanzi, lanjengamafutha emathanjeni akhe.
19 Matemberero akhale ngati chofunda chodzikutira nacho, ngati lamba wovala tsiku ndi tsiku.
Kakube kuye njengesembatho azembesa ngaso, kube libhanti azibopha ngalo njalonjalo.
20 Awa akhale malipiro ochokera kwa Yehova pa onditsutsa anga, kwa iwo amene amayankhula zoyipa za ine.
Lokhu kube ngumvuzo wezitha zami ovela eNkosini, lowalabo abakhuluma okubi ngomphefumulo wami.
21 Koma Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, muchite nane molingana ndi dzina lanu, chifukwa cha ubwino wa chikondi chanu, pulumutseni.
Kodwa wena, Jehova, Nkosi, ngenzela ngenxa yebizo lakho; ngoba umusa wakho ulungile, ngikhulule.
22 Pakuti ndine wosauka ndi wosowa, ndipo mtima wanga ukuwawa mʼkati mwanga.
Ngoba mina ngiyisihlupheki lomyanga, lenhliziyo yami ilimele phakathi kwami.
23 Ndikuzimirira ngati mthunzi wa kumadzulo, ndapirikitsidwa ngati dzombe.
Ngedlula njengesithunzi sisiba side; ngizanyazanyiswe njengesikhonyane.
24 Mawondo anga afowoka chifukwa cha kusala zakudya, thupi langa lawonda ndi mutu wanga womwe.
Amadolo ami ayaxega ngokuzila ukudla, lenyama yami isicakile iswela ukukhuluphala.
25 Ndine chinthu chotonzedwa kwa otsutsana nane; akandiona, amapukusa mitu yawo.
Mina sengibe lihlazo kubo, bengibona banikina ikhanda labo.
26 Thandizeni Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga; pulumutseni molingana ndi chikondi chanu.
Ngisize, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ungisindise ngokomusa wakho.
27 Adaniwo adziwe kuti limeneli ndi dzanja lanu, kuti Inu Yehova mwachita zimenezi.
Ukuze bazi ukuthi lesi yisandla sakho; wena, Nkosi, ukwenzile.
28 Angathe kutemberera, koma Inu mudzadalitsa; pamene iwo andiputa adzachititsidwa manyazi, koma mtumiki wanu adzasangalala.
Kabathuke bona, kodwa wena ubusise; nxa bevuka kabayangeke, kodwa inceku yakho kayithabe.
29 Onditsutsa adzavekedwa mnyozo, ndipo adzadzifunditsa manyazi ngati chovala.
Izitha zami kazigqokiswe ngehlazo, kazizigoqele ngenhloni zazo njengesembatho.
30 Ndi pakamwa panga ndidzathokoza Yehova kwambiri; ndidzamutamanda mʼgulu lalikulu la anthu.
Ngizayibonga kakhulu iNkosi ngomlomo wami; njalo ngizayidumisa phakathi kwabanengi.
31 Popeza Iye amayima ku dzanja lamanja la munthu wosowayo, kupulumutsa moyo wake kwa iwo amene agamula molakwa.
Ngoba izakuma ngakwesokunene komyanga, ukumsindisa kulabo abalahla umphefumulo wakhe.
