Masalimo 130

1 Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndikulirira kwa Inu Yehova ndili mʼdzenje lozama;

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

2 Ambuye imvani mawu anga. Makutu anu akhale tcheru kumva kupempha chifundo kwanga.

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3 Inu Yehova, mukanamawerengera machimo, Inu Yehova, akanayima chilili ndani wopanda mlandu?

If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

4 Koma kwa Inu kuli chikhululukiro; nʼchifukwa chake mumaopedwa.

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

5 Ndimayembekezera Yehova, moyo wanga umayembekezera, ndipo ndimakhulupirira mawu ake.

I wait for Adonai. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

6 Moyo wanga umayembekezera Ambuye, kupambana momwe alonda amayembekezera mmawa, inde, kupambana momwe alonda amayembekezera mmawa,

My soul longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Yembekeza Yehova, iwe Israeli, pakuti Yehova ali ndi chikondi chosasinthika ndipo alinso ndi chipulumutso chochuluka.

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

8 Iye mwini adzawombola Israeli ku machimo ake onse.

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
