Masalimo 130

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

A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O LORD.

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

LORD, hear my voice: let thy 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 [waiteth] for the LORD more than they that watch for the morning: [I say], [more than] they that watch for the morning.

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

Let 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.
