< Masalimo 18 >
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide mtumiki wa Yehova. Iye anayimbira Yehova nyimbo iyi pamene Yehovayo anamupulumutsa mʼdzanja la adani ake onse ndiponso mʼdzanja la Sauli. Davide anati: Ine ndimakukondani Inu Yehova, mphamvu zanga.
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi muranda waJehovha. Akaimbira Jehovha mashoko orwiyo urwu paakarwirwa naJehovha kubva mumaoko avavengi vake vose nomuruoko rwaSauro. Akati: Ndinokudai, imi Jehovha, simba rangu.
2 Yehova ndiye thanthwe langa, chitetezo changa ndi mpulumutsi wanga; Mulungu wanga ndi thanthwe langa mʼmene ndimathawiramo. Chishango changa ndi ndodo yachipulumutso changa, ndi linga langa.
Jehovha ndiye dombo rangu, nhare yangu, murwiri wangu; Mwari wangu ndiye dombo rangu, wandinovanda maari. Ndiye nhoo yangu norunyanga rworuponeso rwangu, shongwe yangu.
3 Ndimayitana Yehova amene ndi woyenera matamando, ndipo ndapulumutsidwa kwa adani anga.
Ndinodana kuna Jehovha, iye akafanira kurumbidzwa, uye ndinoponeswa kubva kuvavengi vangu.
4 Zingwe za imfa zinandizinga; mitsinje yothamanga yachiwonongeko inandiopsa kwambiri.
Mabote orufu akandipinganidza; mvura zhinji inoparadza yakandifukidza.
5 Anandimanga ndi zingwe za ku manda; misampha ya imfa inalimbana nane. (Sheol )
Mabote eguva akandimonera; misungo yorufu yakanangana neni. (Sheol )
6 Mʼmasautso anga ndinapemphera kwa Yehova; ndinalirira kwa Mulungu wanga kuti andithandize. Ali mʼNyumba yake, anamva mawu anga; kulira kwanga kunafika pamaso pake ndi mʼmakutu mwake.
Pakutambudzika kwangu ndakadana kuna Jehovha; ndakadana kuna Mwari wangu kuti ndibatsirwe. Akanzwa inzwi rangu ari mutemberi yake; kuchema kwangu kwakasvika pamberi pake munzeve dzake.
7 Dziko lapansi linanjenjemera ndi kuchita chivomerezi, ndipo maziko a mapiri anagwedezeka; ananjenjemera chifukwa Iye anakwiya.
Nyika yakadedera ikadengenyeka, uye nheyo dzamakomo dzakazunguzika;
8 Mʼmphuno mwake munatuluka utsi; moto wonyeketsa unatuluka mʼkamwa mwake, makala amoto anali lawilawi mʼkamwa mwake.
Utsi hwakakwira huchibva mumhino dzake; moto unoparadza wakabuda mumuromo make, mazimbe anopisa akabuda mauri achipfuta.
9 Iye anangʼamba thambo natsika pansi; pansi pa mapazi ake panali mitambo yakuda.
Akatsemura matenga akauya pasi; makore erima akanga ari pasi petsoka dzake.
10 Iye anakwera pa Kerubi ndi kuwuluka; nawuluka ndi mphepo mwaliwiro.
Akatasva makerubhi akabhururuka; akabhururuka pamapapiro emhepo.
11 Iye anapanga mdima kukhala chofunda chake, chophimba chake chomuzungulira chinali mitambo yakuda ya mlengalenga.
Akaita rima chifukidzo chake, denga rake rakamupoteredza, iwo makore matema emvura okudenga.
12 Mʼkuwala kumene kunali pamaso pake munkachokera matalala, makala amoto ndi ziphaliwali zongʼanima.
Nokupenya kwaibva pamberi pake, makore akabuda akafamba, nechimvuramabwe nokupenya kwemheni.
13 Yehova anabangula kumwamba ngati bingu, mawu a Wammwambamwamba anamveka ponseponse.
Jehovha akatinhira kudenga; inzwi roWokumusoro-soro rikanzwika.
14 Iye anaponya mivi yake nabalalitsa adani ake, ndi zingʼaningʼani zake anawagonjetsa.
Akapfura miseve yake akaparadzira vavengi vake, kupenya kukuru kwemheni kukavavhundutsa.
15 Zigwa za mʼnyanja zinaonekera poyera; maziko a dziko lapansi anakhala poyera, Yehova atabangula mwaukali, pamene mpweya wamphamvu unatuluka mʼmphuno mwanu.
Mipata yegungwa yakaiswa pachena, uye nheyo dzenyika dzakaiswa pachena pakutuka kwenyu, imi Jehovha, nokufema kwemhino dzenyu.
16 Ali kumwamba, Iye anatambalitsa dzanja lake ndipo anandigwira; anandivuwula mʼmadzi ozama.
Akadzika pasi achibva kumusoro akanditora; akandibudisa pamvura zhinji yakadzika.
17 Anandipulumutsa kwa mdani wanga wamphamvu, adani anga, amene anali amphamvu kuposa ine.
Akandinunura kubva kuvavengi vangu vane simba, kubva kuvadzivisi vangu, vakanga vakasimba zvikuru kwandiri.
18 Adaniwo analimbana nane pamene ndinali pa mavuto, koma Yehova anali thandizo langa.
Vakandinanga pazuva renjodzi yangu, asi Jehovha akanga ari mutsigiri wangu.
19 Iye anandipititsa kumalo otakasuka; anandipulumutsa chifukwa amakondwera nane.
Akandibudisa akandiisa panzvimbo yakafarikana; akandinunura nokuti akanga achindifarira.
20 Yehova wandithandiza molingana ndi chilungamo changa; molingana ndi makhalidwe anga abwino, Iye wandipulumutsa.
Jehovha akandiitira zvakafanira kururama kwangu; nokuchena kwamaoko angu.
21 Pakuti ine ndinatsata njira za Yehova; ndilibe mlandu wochoka pamaso Mulungu wanga.
Nokuti ndakachengeta nzira dzaJehovha; handina kuita zvakaipa nokubva pana Mwari wangu.
22 Malamulo ake onse ali pamaso panga; sindinasiye malangizo ake.
Mirayiro yake yose iri pamberi pangu; handina kutsauka pazvirevo zvake.
23 Ndakhala moyo wosalakwa pamaso pake ndipo ndakhala ndi kupewa tchimo.
Ndakanga ndisina chandingapomerwa pamberi pake, uye ndakazvichengeta kuti ndigare kure nechivi.
24 Yehova wandipatsa mphotho molingana ndi chilungamo changa, molingana ndi kuyera kwa manja anga pamaso pake.
Jehovha akandipa mubayiro zvakaringana nokururama kwangu, zvakaringana nokuchena kwamaoko angu pamberi pake.
25 Kwa wokhulupirika, Inu mumaonetsa kukhulupirika kwanu; kwa anthu amakhalidwe abwino, Inu mumaonetsanso makhalidwe abwino,
Kuna vakatendeka munoratidza kutendeka kwenyu, kuna vasina chavangapomerwa munoratidza kusapomerwa kwenyu,
26 kwa woyera mtima, Inu mumaonetsa kuyera mtima kwanu, koma kwa achinyengo mumaonetsanso kunyansidwa nawo.
kuna vakachena munoratidza kuchena kwenyu, asi kuna vakatsauka munoratidza hasha dzenyu.
27 Inu mumapulumutsa anthu odzichepetsa, koma anthu amtima odzikuza mumawatsitsa.
Munoponesa vanozvininipisa, asi muchideredza vane meso anozvikudza.
28 Inu Yehova, sungani nyale yanga kuti iziyakabe; Mulungu wanga wasandutsa mdima wanga kukhala kuwunika.
Imi, iyemi Jehovha, munoita kuti mwenje wangu urambe uchipfuta; Mwari wangu anoshandura rima rangu richiva chiedza.
29 Ndi thandizo lanu nditha kulimbana ndi gulu la ankhondo; ndi Mulungu wanga nditha kuchita zosatheka ndi munthu.
Norubatsiro rwenyu ndichaenda kundorwa hondo; naMwari wangu ndinogona kukwira rusvingo.
30 Kunena za Mulungu, zochita zake ndi zangwiro; mawu a Yehova alibe cholakwika. Iye ndi chishango kwa onse amene amathawira kwa Iye.
Kana ari Mwari, nzira yake yakakwana; shoko raJehovha harina charingapomerwa. Ndiye nhoo yavose vanovanda maari.
31 Mulungu wina ndi uti wofanana nanu Yehova? Ndipo ndani amene ndi Thanthwe kupatula Mulungu wathu?
Nokuti ndianiko Mwari kunze kwaJehovha? Uye ndianiko Dombo kunze kwaMwari wedu?
32 Ndi Mulungu amene anandipatsa mphamvu ndi kulungamitsa njira yanga.
NdiMwari anondishongedza nesimba uye anokwanisa nzira yangu.
33 Iye amasandutsa mapazi anga kukhala ngati ambawala yayikazi; Iye amandithandiza kuyimirira pamwamba pa mapiri.
Anoita kuti tsoka dzangu dzive setsoka dzenondo; anoita kuti ndigone kumira pakakwirira.
34 Iye amaphunzitsa manja anga kuchita nkhondo; manja anga amatha kuthyola uta wachitsulo.
Anodzidzisa maoko angu kurwa; maoko angu anowembura uta hwendarira.
35 Inu mumandipatsa chishango chachipambano, ndipo dzanja lanu lamanja limandichirikiza; mumawerama pansi kundikuza.
Munondipa nhoo yenyu yokukunda, uye ruoko rwenyu rworudyi runonditsigira; munokotama pasi kuti mundiite mukuru.
36 Munakulitsa njira yoyendamo ine, kuti mapazi anga asaguluke.
Munondiitira nzira yakapamhama pasi pangu, kuitira kuti zvitsitsinho zvangu zvirege kutedzemuka.
37 Ndinathamangitsa adani anga ndi kuwapitirira; sindinabwerere mpaka atawonongedwa.
Ndakatevera vavengi vangu ndikavabata; handina kudzokera shure kusvikira vaparadzwa.
38 Ndinakantha adaniwo kotero kuti sanathenso kudzuka; anagwera pa mapazi anga.
Ndakavapwanya kuti vakoniwe kusimuka; vakawira pasi petsoka dzangu.
39 Inu munandiveka ndi mphamvu yokachitira nkhondo, munachititsa kuti ndigonjetse adani anga.
Makandishongedza nesimba rokurwa; makaita kuti vadzivisi vangu vapfugame patsoka dzangu.
40 Inu munachititsa adani anga kutembenuka, kuonetsa misana yawo pothawa, ndipo ine ndinawononga adani angawo.
Makaita kuti vavengi vangu vatize, uye ndakaparadza vavengi vangu.
41 Iwo anafuwula kupempha thandizo, koma panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe owapulumutsa. Analirira kwa Yehova koma sanawayankhe.
Vakachemera kubatsirwa, asi hakuna akavaponesa, kunyange kuna Jehovha, asi haana kuvapindura.
42 Ine ndinawaperesa ngati fumbi lowuluka ndi mphepo. Ndinawapondaponda ngati matope a mʼmisewu.
Ndakavapura vakatsetseka seguruva ratakurwa nemhepo; ndakavadururira pasi sedope renzira dzomumusha.
43 Inu mwandipulumutsa mʼmanja mwa anthu; mwandisandutsa kukhala mtsogoleri wa anthu a mitundu ina. Anthu amene sindikuwadziwa ali pansi pa ulamuliro wanga.
Makandirwira pakurwisa kwavanhu; makandiita musoro wendudzi; vanhu vandakanga ndisingazivi vava varanda vangu.
44 Alendo amadzipereka okha pamaso panga; akangomva za ine amandigonjera.
Pavanongondinzwa, vanonditeerera; vatorwa vanokotama pamberi pangu.
45 Iwo onse anataya mtima; anatuluka mʼmalinga awo akunjenjemera.
Vose vanoora mwoyo; vanouya vachibva panhare dzavo vachidedera.
46 Yehova ndi wamoyo! Litamandidwe Thanthwe langa! Akuzike Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga!
Jehovha mupenyu! Dombo rangu ngarirumbidzwe! Ngaakudzwe Mwari Muponesi wangu!
47 Iye ndi Mulungu amene amabwezera chilango, amene amagonjetsa anthu a mitundu yonse amene ali pansi pa ulamuliro wanga,
Ndiye Mwari anonditsivira, anoisa ndudzi pasi pangu,
48 amene amandipulumutsa mʼmanja mwa adani anga. Inu munandikuza kuposa adani anga; munandilanditsa mʼmanja mwa anthu ankhanza.
anondiponesa pavavengi vangu. Makandisimudzira pamusoro pavavengi vangu. Makandinunura kubva kuvanhu vechisimba.
49 Choncho ine ndidzakutamandani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina, Inu Yehova; ndidzayimba nyimbo zotamanda dzina lanu.
Naizvozvo ndichakurumbidzai pakati pendudzi, imi Jehovha; ndichaimbira zita renyu nziyo dzokurumbidza.
50 Iye amapereka chipambano chachikulu kwa mfumu yake; amaonetsa chikondi chosasinthika kwa wodzozedwa wake, kwa Davide ndi zidzukulu zake kwamuyaya.
Anopa mambo wake kukunda kukuru; anoratidza unyoro hwake husingaperi kumuzodziwa wake, kuna Dhavhidhi nokuvana vake nokusingaperi.
