Masalimo 140

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Landitseni Yehova kwa anthu oyipa; tetezeni kwa anthu ankhanza,

To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, delyuere thou me fro an yuel man; delyuere thou me fro a wickid man.

2 amene mu mtima mwawo amakonza zinthu zoyipa ndi kuyambitsa nkhondo tsiku lililonse.

Whiche thouyten wickidnesses in the herte; al dai thei ordeyneden batels.

3 Iwo amanola malilime awo kukhala akuthwa ngati a njoka; pa milomo yawo pali ululu wa mamba. (Sela)

Thei scharpiden her tungis as serpentis; the venym of snakis vndir the lippis of hem.

4 Tetezeni Inu Yehova, kwa anthu oyipa; tchinjirizeni kwa anthu ankhanza amene amakonza zokola mapazi anga.

Lord, kepe thou me fro the hond of the synnere; and delyuere thou me fro wickid men. Which thouyten to disseyue my goyngis;

5 Anthu odzikuza anditchera msampha mobisika; iwo atchera zingwe za maukonde awo ndipo anditchera misampha pa njira yanga. (Sela)

proude men hidden a snare to me. And thei leiden forth cordis in to a snare; thei settiden sclaundir to me bisidis the weie.

6 Inu Yehova, ine ndikuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.” Imvani kupempha kwanga Yehova.

I seide to the Lord, Thou art mi God; Lord, here thou the vois of my biseching.

7 Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, Mpulumutsi wanga wamphamvu, mumateteza mutu wanga tsiku lankhondo.

Lord, Lord, the vertu of myn heelthe; thou madist schadowe on myn heed in the dai of batel.

8 Musawapatse anthu oyipa zokhumba zawo, Inu Yehova; musalole kuti zokonza zawo zitheke, mwina iwo adzayamba kunyada. (Sela)

Lord, bitake thou not me fro my desire to the synnere; thei thouyten ayens me, forsake thou not me, lest perauenture thei ben enhaunsid.

9 Mitu ya amene andizungulira iphimbidwe ndi masautso amene milomo yawo yayambitsa.

The heed of the cumpas of hem; the trauel of her lippis schal hile hem.

10 Makala amoto agwere pa iwo; aponyedwe pa moto, mʼmaenje amatope, asatulukemonso.

Colis schulen falle on hem, thou schalt caste hem doun in to fier; in wretchidnessis thei schulen not stonde.

11 Musalole kuti anthu achipongwe akhazikike mʼdziko; choyipa chilondole anthu ankhanza.

A man a greet ianglere schal not be dressid in erthe; yuels schulen take an vniust man in perisching.

12 Ndikudziwa kuti Yehova amapereka chiweruzo cholungama kwa anthu osauka, ndipo amateteza zolinga za anthu osowa.

I haue knowe, that the Lord schal make dom of a nedi man; and the veniaunce of pore men.

13 Zoonadi anthu olungama adzatamanda dzina lanu, ndipo anthu owongoka mtima adzakhala pamaso panu.

Netheles iust men schulen knouleche to thi name; and riytful men schulen dwelle with thi cheer.
