< Masalimo 141 >
1 Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova ndikukuyitanani; bwerani msanga kwa ine. Imvani mawu anga pamene ndiyitana Inu.
Ihubo likaDavida Oh Thixo, ngiyakubiza; woza masinyane kimi. Zwana ilizwi lami nxa ngikubiza.
2 Pemphero langa lifike kwa Inu ngati lubani; kukweza manja kwanga kukhale ngati nsembe yamadzulo.
Sengathi umkhuleko wami ungema phambi kwakho njengempepha; kuthi ukuphakama kwezandla zami kube njengomhlatshelo wakusihlwa.
3 Yehova ikani mlonda pakamwa panga; londerani khomo la pa milomo yanga.
Ngibekela umlindi womlomo wami, Oh Thixo, qaphela umnyango wezindebe zami.
4 Musalole kuti mtima wanga ukokedwere ku zoyipa; kuchita ntchito zonyansa pamodzi ndi anthu amene amachita zoyipa; musalole kuti ndidye nawo zokoma zawo.
Ungayekeli inhliziyo yami ihugwe ngokubi, ngingene ezenzweni ezimbi labantu abayizigangi; mangingadli izibiliboco zabo.
5 Munthu wolungama andikanthe, chimenecho ndiye chifundo; andidzudzule ndiye mafuta pa mutu wanga. Mutu wanga sudzakana zimenezi. Komabe pemphero langa nthawi zonse ndi lotsutsana ndi ntchito za anthu ochita zoyipa.
Ake ngitshaywe ngumuntu olungileyo, kungumusa; kake angikhuze, kungamafutha ekhanda lami. Ikhanda lami kaliyikukwala. Ikanti umkhuleko wami uhlezi umelana lezenzo zezigangi.
6 Olamulira awo adzaponyedwa pansi kuchokera pa malo okwera kwambiri, ndipo anthu oyipa adzaphunzira kuti mawu anga anayankhulidwa bwino.
Ababusi bazo bazaphoselwa phansi emaweni, lababi bazafunda ukuthi amazwi ami ayekhulunywe kuhle.
7 Iwo adzati, “Monga momwe nkhuni zimamwazikira akaziwaza, ndi momwenso mafupa athu amwazikira pa khomo la manda.” (Sheol )
Bazakuthi, “Njengalowo olimayo eqeqebula umhlabathi, kanjalo amathambo ethu achithiziwe emlonyeni weliba.” (Sheol )
8 Koma maso anga akupenyetsetsa Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse; ndimathawira kwa Inu, musandipereke ku imfa.
Kodwa amehlo ami agxile kuwe, Oh Thixo woBukhosi; kuwe ngiyaphephela unganginikeli ekufeni.
9 Mundipulumutse ku misampha imene anditchera, ku makhwekhwe amene anthu oyipa andikonzera.
Ngivikela emijibileni asebeyithiyele mina, ezifini ezithiywe yizigangi.
10 Anthu oyipa akodwe mʼmaukonde awo, mpaka ine nditadutsa mwamtendere.
Akuthi ababi bawele emambuleni abo, mina ngidlule kuhle ngiphephile.
