Masalimo 26
1 Salimo la Davide. Weruzeni Inu Yehova pakuti ndakhala moyo wosalakwa. Ndadalira Yehova popanda kugwedezeka.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
2 Patseni mayeso, Inu Yehova ndipo ndiyeseni, santhulani mtima wanga ndi maganizo anga;
Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
3 pakuti chikondi chanu chili pamaso panga nthawi zonse, ndipo ndimayenda mʼchoonadi chanu nthawi zonse.
For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
4 Ine sindikhala pansi pamodzi ndi anthu achinyengo, kapena kufunsa nzeru kwa achiphamaso.
I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
5 Ndimanyansidwa ndi msonkhano wa anthu ochita zoyipa ndipo ndimakana kukhala pansi pamodzi ndi oyipa.
I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
6 Ndimasamba mʼmanja mwanga kuonetsa kusalakwa kwanga ndi kupita kukatumikira pa guwa lanu la nsembe, Inu Yehova,
I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
7 kulengeza mofuwula za matamando anu ndi kuwuza onse za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa.
so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
8 Ndimakonda Nyumba imene Inu Yehova mumakhalamo, malo amene ulemerero wanu umapezekako.
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
9 Musachotse moyo wanga pamodzi ndi ochimwa, moyo wanga pamodzi ndi anthu akupha anzawo,
O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
10 amene mʼmanja mwawo muli ndondomeko zoyipa, dzanja lawo lamanja ladzaza ndi ziphuphu.
in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
11 Koma ine ndimakhala moyo wosalakwa; mu msonkhano wa anthu anu ndidzatamanda Yehova.
But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12 Ndayima pa malo wopanda zovuta ndipo ndidzatamanda Yehova mu msonkhano waukulu.
My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
