Masalimo 139
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mwandisanthula ndipo mukundidziwa.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have examined me, and you have known me.
2 Inu mumadziwa pamene ndikhala pansi ndi pamene ndidzuka; mumazindikira maganizo anga muli kutali.
You have known my sitting down and my rising up again.
3 Mumapenyetsetsa pamene ndikutuluka ndi kugona kwanga; mumadziwa njira zanga zonse.
You have understood my thoughts from afar. My path and my fate, you have investigated.
4 Mawu asanatuluke pa lilime langa mumawadziwa bwinobwino, Inu Yehova.
And you have foreseen all my ways. For there is no word in my tongue.
5 Mumandizinga kumbuyo ndi kutsogolo komwe; mwasanjika dzanja lanu pa ine.
Behold, O Lord, you have known all things: the newest and the very old. You have formed me, and you have placed your hand over me.
6 Nzeru zimenezi ndi zopitirira nzeru zanga, ndi zapamwamba kuti ine ndizipeze.
Your knowledge has become a wonder to me. It has been reinforced, and I am not able to prevail against it.
7 Kodi ndingapite kuti kufuna kuzemba Mzimu wanu? Kodi ndingathawire kuti kuchoka pamaso panu?
Where will I go from your Spirit? And where will I flee from your face?
8 Ndikakwera kumwamba, Inu muli komweko; ndikakagona ku malo a anthu akufa, Inu muli komweko. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I descend into Hell, you are near. (Sheol h7585)
9 Ngati ndiwulukira kotulukira dzuwa, ngati ndikakhala ku malekezero a nyanja,
If I assume my feathers in early morning, and dwell in the utmost parts of the sea,
10 kumenekonso dzanja lanu lidzanditsogolera, dzanja lanu lamanja lidzandigwiriziza.
even there, your hand will lead me forth, and your right hand will hold me.
11 Ndikanena kuti, “Zoonadi, mdima udzandibisa ndithu ndipo kuwunika kukhale mdima mondizungulira,”
And I said: Perhaps darkness will overwhelm me, and the night will be my illumination, to my delight.
12 komabe mdimawo sudzakhala mdima kwa Inu; usiku udzawala ngati masana, pakuti mdima uli ngati kuwunika kwa Inu.
But darkness will not be impenetrable to you, and night will illuminate like the day: for just as its darkness is, so also is its light.
13 Pakuti Inu munalenga za mʼkati mwanga; munandiwumba pamodzi mʼmimba mwa amayi anga.
For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother.
14 Ndimakuyamikani chifukwa ndinapangidwa mochititsa mantha ndi modabwitsa; ntchito zanu ndi zodabwitsa, zimenezi ndimazidziwa bwino lomwe.
I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well.
15 Mapangidwe anga sanabisike pamaso panu pamene ndimapangidwa mʼmalo achinsinsi, pamene ndinkawumbidwa mwaluso mʼmimba ya amayi anga.
My bone, which you have made in secret, has not been hidden from you, and my substance is in accord with the lower 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 imperfection, and all this shall be written in your book. Days will be formed, and no one shall be in them.
17 Zolingalira zanu pa ine ndi zamtengowapatali, Inu Mulungu, ndi zosawerengeka ndithu!
But to me, O God, your friends have been greatly honored. Their first ruler has been exceedingly strengthened.
18 Ndikanaziwerenga, zikanakhala zochuluka kuposa mchenga; pamene ndadzuka, ndili nanube.
I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you.
19 Ndi bwino mukanangopha anthu oyipa, Inu Mulungu! Chokereni inu anthu owononga anzanu!
O God, if only you would cut down sinners. You men of blood: depart from me.
20 Amayankhula za Inu ndi zolinga zoyipa; adani anu amagwiritsa ntchito dzina lanu molakwika.
For you say in thought: They will accept your cities in vain.
21 Kodi ine sindidana nawo amene amakudani, Inu Yehova? Kodi sindinyansidwa nawo amene amakuwukirani?
Have I not hated those who hated you, Lord, and wasted away because of your enemies?
22 Ndimadana nawo kwathunthu; ndi adani anga.
I have hated them with a perfect hatred, and they have become enemies to me.
23 Santhuleni, Inu Mulungu ndipo mudziwe mtima wanga; Yeseni ndipo mudziwe zolingalira zanga.
Examine me, O God, and know my heart. Question me, and know my paths.
24 Onani ngati muli mayendedwe aliwonse oyipa mwa ine, ndipo munditsogolere mʼnjira yanu yamuyaya.
And see if there might be in me the way of iniquity, and lead me in the way of eternity.
