Masalimo 140
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Landitseni Yehova kwa anthu oyipa; tetezeni kwa anthu ankhanza,
Ya mukulu w’okuyimba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omponye abakola ebibi, Ayi Mukama, omponye abantu abakambwe;
2 amene mu mtima mwawo amakonza zinthu zoyipa ndi kuyambitsa nkhondo tsiku lililonse.
abateesa mu mitima gyabwe okukola ebibi; abanoonya entalo buli kiseera.
3 Iwo amanola malilime awo kukhala akuthwa ngati a njoka; pa milomo yawo pali ululu wa mamba. (Sela)
Ebigambo byabwe byogi ng’ennimi z’emisota; ebiva mu kamwa kaabwe busagwa ng’obw’essalambwa.
4 Tetezeni Inu Yehova, kwa anthu oyipa; tchinjirizeni kwa anthu ankhanza amene amakonza zokola mapazi anga.
Onkuume abakola ebibi baleme okunkwatako, Ayi Mukama; omponye abantu abakambwe abateesa okunkyamya.
5 Anthu odzikuza anditchera msampha mobisika; iwo atchera zingwe za maukonde awo ndipo anditchera misampha pa njira yanga. (Sela)
Abantu ab’amalala banteze omutego; banjuluzza ekitimba kyabwe; ne batega emitego mu kkubo lyange.
6 Inu Yehova, ine ndikuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.” Imvani kupempha kwanga Yehova.
Nagamba Mukama nti, “Ggwe oli Katonda wange.” Wulira okwegayirira kwange, onsaasire, Ayi Mukama!
7 Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, Mpulumutsi wanga wamphamvu, mumateteza mutu wanga tsiku lankhondo.
Ayi Mukama, Mukama wange, ggw’omponya n’amaanyi go, ggwe engabo yange mu lutalo.
8 Musawapatse anthu oyipa zokhumba zawo, Inu Yehova; musalole kuti zokonza zawo zitheke, mwina iwo adzayamba kunyada. (Sela)
Ayi Mukama, abakola ebibi tobawa bye beetaaga, era tokkiriza ntekateeka zaabwe kutuukirira; baleme kuba na malala wadde okwenyumiriza.
9 Mitu ya amene andizungulira iphimbidwe ndi masautso amene milomo yawo yayambitsa.
Abanneetoolodde baleke enkwe zaabwe zibeekyusizeeko baboneebone.
10 Makala amoto agwere pa iwo; aponyedwe pa moto, mʼmaenje amatope, asatulukemonso.
Amanda agaaka omuliro gabagwire; basuulibwe mu muliro, bakasukibwe mu bunnya obutakoma mwe bataliva emirembe gyonna.
11 Musalole kuti anthu achipongwe akhazikike mʼdziko; choyipa chilondole anthu ankhanza.
Tokkiriza balimba kweyongera bungi; abakambwe bayigganyizibwe bazikirire.
12 Ndikudziwa kuti Yehova amapereka chiweruzo cholungama kwa anthu osauka, ndipo amateteza zolinga za anthu osowa.
Mmanyi nga Mukama ayamba abo ababonaabona, y’ayamba abanaku okuyisibwa mu bwenkanya.
13 Zoonadi anthu olungama adzatamanda dzina lanu, ndipo anthu owongoka mtima adzakhala pamaso panu.
Abatuukirivu banaakutenderezanga, era w’oli we banaabeeranga.
