Masalimo 130

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

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

4 Koma kwa Inu kuli chikhululukiro; nʼchifukwa chake mumaopedwa.

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

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

My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

8 Iye mwini adzawombola Israeli ku machimo ake onse.

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
