Masalimo 13

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mpaka liti Yehova? Kodi mudzandiyiwala mpaka kalekale? Mpaka liti mudzandibisira nkhope yanu?

How long, Adonai? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 Ndidzalimbana ndi maganizo anga ndi kukhala ndi chisoni mu mtima mwanga tsiku lililonse mpaka liti? Mpaka liti adani anga adzandipambana?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

3 Ndiyangʼaneni ndi kundiyankha, Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga. Walitsani maso anga kuti ndingafe;

Behold, and answer me, Adonai, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 mdani wanga adzati, “Ndamugonjetsa,” ndipo adani anga adzakondwera pamene ine ndagwa.

Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

5 Koma ndikudalira chikondi chanu chosasinthika; mtima wanga umakondwera ndi chipulumutso chanu.

But I trust in your chesed ·loving-kindness·. My heart rejoices in your yishu'ah ·salvation·.

6 Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova pakuti wandichitira zokoma.

I will sing to Adonai, because he has been good to me.
