Masalimo 139
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mwandisanthula ndipo mukundidziwa.
Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:
2 Inu mumadziwa pamene ndikhala pansi ndi pamene ndidzuka; mumazindikira maganizo anga muli kutali.
Thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.
3 Mumapenyetsetsa pamene ndikutuluka ndi kugona kwanga; mumadziwa njira zanga zonse.
Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.
4 Mawu asanatuluke pa lilime langa mumawadziwa bwinobwino, Inu Yehova.
And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.
5 Mumandizinga kumbuyo ndi kutsogolo komwe; mwasanjika dzanja lanu pa ine.
Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
6 Nzeru zimenezi ndi zopitirira nzeru zanga, ndi zapamwamba kuti ine ndizipeze.
Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
7 Kodi ndingapite kuti kufuna kuzemba Mzimu wanu? Kodi ndingathawire kuti kuchoka pamaso panu?
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?
8 Ndikakwera kumwamba, Inu muli komweko; ndikakagona ku malo a anthu akufa, Inu muli komweko. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present. (Sheol h7585)
9 Ngati ndiwulukira kotulukira dzuwa, ngati ndikakhala ku malekezero a nyanja,
If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
10 kumenekonso dzanja lanu lidzanditsogolera, dzanja lanu lamanja lidzandigwiriziza.
Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 Ndikanena kuti, “Zoonadi, mdima udzandibisa ndithu ndipo kuwunika kukhale mdima mondizungulira,”
And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
12 komabe mdimawo sudzakhala mdima kwa Inu; usiku udzawala ngati masana, pakuti mdima uli ngati kuwunika kwa Inu.
But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
13 Pakuti Inu munalenga za mʼkati mwanga; munandiwumba pamodzi mʼmimba mwa amayi anga.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother’s womb.
14 Ndimakuyamikani chifukwa ndinapangidwa mochititsa mantha ndi modabwitsa; ntchito zanu ndi zodabwitsa, zimenezi ndimazidziwa bwino lomwe.
I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
15 Mapangidwe anga sanabisike pamaso panu pamene ndimapangidwa mʼmalo achinsinsi, pamene ndinkawumbidwa mwaluso mʼmimba ya amayi anga.
My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in 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.
Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them.
17 Zolingalira zanu pa ine ndi zamtengowapatali, Inu Mulungu, ndi zosawerengeka ndithu!
But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
18 Ndikanaziwerenga, zikanakhala zochuluka kuposa mchenga; pamene ndadzuka, ndili nanube.
I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee.
19 Ndi bwino mukanangopha anthu oyipa, Inu Mulungu! Chokereni inu anthu owononga anzanu!
If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me:
20 Amayankhula za Inu ndi zolinga zoyipa; adani anu amagwiritsa ntchito dzina lanu molakwika.
Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain.
21 Kodi ine sindidana nawo amene amakudani, Inu Yehova? Kodi sindinyansidwa nawo amene amakuwukirani?
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?
22 Ndimadana nawo kwathunthu; ndi adani anga.
I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me.
23 Santhuleni, Inu Mulungu ndipo mudziwe mtima wanga; Yeseni ndipo mudziwe zolingalira zanga.
Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths.
24 Onani ngati muli mayendedwe aliwonse oyipa mwa ine, ndipo munditsogolere mʼnjira yanu yamuyaya.
And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.
