Masalimo 130

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

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.

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

Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 Koma kwa Inu kuli chikhululukiro; nʼchifukwa chake mumaopedwa.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

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

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

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

My soul [looketh] for the Lord, more than watchmen [look] for the morning; [yea, more than] watchmen for the morning.

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

O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 Iye mwini adzawombola Israeli ku machimo ake onse.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
