Masalimo 139
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mwandisanthula ndipo mukundidziwa.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.
2 Inu mumadziwa pamene ndikhala pansi ndi pamene ndidzuka; mumazindikira maganizo anga muli kutali.
You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.
3 Mumapenyetsetsa pamene ndikutuluka ndi kugona kwanga; mumadziwa njira zanga zonse.
You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.
4 Mawu asanatuluke pa lilime langa mumawadziwa bwinobwino, Inu Yehova.
For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.
5 Mumandizinga kumbuyo ndi kutsogolo komwe; mwasanjika dzanja lanu pa ine.
I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.
6 Nzeru zimenezi ndi zopitirira nzeru zanga, ndi zapamwamba kuti ine ndizipeze.
Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
7 Kodi ndingapite kuti kufuna kuzemba Mzimu wanu? Kodi ndingathawire kuti kuchoka pamaso panu?
Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?
8 Ndikakwera kumwamba, Inu muli komweko; ndikakagona ku malo a anthu akufa, Inu muli komweko. (Sheol h7585)
If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Ngati ndiwulukira kotulukira dzuwa, ngati ndikakhala ku malekezero a nyanja,
If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;
10 kumenekonso dzanja lanu lidzanditsogolera, dzanja lanu lamanja lidzandigwiriziza.
Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.
11 Ndikanena kuti, “Zoonadi, mdima udzandibisa ndithu ndipo kuwunika kukhale mdima mondizungulira,”
If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
12 komabe mdimawo sudzakhala mdima kwa Inu; usiku udzawala ngati masana, pakuti mdima uli ngati kuwunika kwa Inu.
Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.
13 Pakuti Inu munalenga za mʼkati mwanga; munandiwumba pamodzi mʼmimba mwa amayi anga.
My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
14 Ndimakuyamikani chifukwa ndinapangidwa mochititsa mantha ndi modabwitsa; ntchito zanu ndi zodabwitsa, zimenezi ndimazidziwa bwino lomwe.
I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.
15 Mapangidwe anga sanabisike pamaso panu pamene ndimapangidwa mʼmalo achinsinsi, pamene ndinkawumbidwa mwaluso mʼmimba ya amayi anga.
My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Maso anu anaona thupi langa lisanawumbidwe. Masiku onse amene anapatsidwa kwa ine, analembedwa mʼbuku lanu asanayambe nʼkuwerengedwa komwe.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.
17 Zolingalira zanu pa ine ndi zamtengowapatali, Inu Mulungu, ndi zosawerengeka ndithu!
How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
18 Ndikanaziwerenga, zikanakhala zochuluka kuposa mchenga; pamene ndadzuka, ndili nanube.
If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.
19 Ndi bwino mukanangopha anthu oyipa, Inu Mulungu! Chokereni inu anthu owononga anzanu!
If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
20 Amayankhula za Inu ndi zolinga zoyipa; adani anu amagwiritsa ntchito dzina lanu molakwika.
For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.
21 Kodi ine sindidana nawo amene amakudani, Inu Yehova? Kodi sindinyansidwa nawo amene amakuwukirani?
Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?
22 Ndimadana nawo kwathunthu; ndi adani anga.
My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.
23 Santhuleni, Inu Mulungu ndipo mudziwe mtima wanga; Yeseni ndipo mudziwe zolingalira zanga.
O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:
24 Onani ngati muli mayendedwe aliwonse oyipa mwa ine, ndipo munditsogolere mʼnjira yanu yamuyaya.
See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal way.
