Masalimo 27
1 Salimo la Davide. Yehova ndiye kuwunika kwanga ndi chipulumutso changa; ndidzaopa yani? Yehova ndi linga la moyo wanga; ndidzachita mantha ndi yani?
Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha ndiye chiedza changu noruponeso rwangu, ndichagotya aniko? Jehovha ndiye nhare youpenyu hwangu, ndianiko wandingatya?
2 Pamene anthu oyipa abwera kudzalimbana nane kudzadya mnofu wanga, pamene adani anga ndi achiwembu andithira nkhondo, iwo adzapunthwa ndi kugwa.
Vanhu vakaipa pavakauya kwandiri kuzodya nyama yangu, vavengi navadzivisi vangu pavanondirwisa, vanogumburwa ndokuwa.
3 Ngakhale gulu lankhondo lindizinge, mtima wanga sudzaopa. Ngakhale nkhondo itayambika kulimbana nane, ngakhale nthawi imeneyo, ine ndidzalimbika mtima.
Kunyange hondo ikandikomba, mwoyo wangu haungazotyi; kunyange hondo ikamuka kuzondirwisa, ipapo ndichavimba naJehovha.
4 Chinthu chimodzi chokha chimene ndipempha kwa Yehova, ichi ndi chimene ndidzachifunafuna: kuti ndikhale mʼNyumba ya Yehova masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndi kuyangʼana kukongola kwa Yehova, ndi kumufunafuna Iye mʼNyumba yake.
Chinhu chimwe chete chandinokumbira kuna Jehovha, ndicho chandinotsvaka: kuti ndigare mumba maJehovha mazuva ose oupenyu hwangu, kuti nditarire kunaka kwaJehovha uye ndimutsvake mutemberi yake.
5 Pakuti pa tsiku la msautso Iye adzanditeteza mʼmalo ake okhalamo; adzandibisa mʼkati mwa Nyumba yake ndi kukhazika ine pamwamba pa thanthwe.
Nokuti zuva rokutambudzika achandichengeta zvakanaka munzvimbo yaanogara; achandiviga mudumba retabhenakeri yake, agondikwidza pamusoro pedombo.
6 Kotero mutu wanga udzakwezedwa kuposa adani anga amene andizungulira; pa Nyumba yake ndidzapereka nsembe ndi mfuwu wachimwemwe; ndidzayimba nyimbo kwa Yehova.
Ipapo musoro wangu uchasimudzirwa pamusoro pavavengi vakandipoteredza; ndichamubayira zvibayiro patabhenakeri yake nomufaro mukuru; ndichaimba ndigoimbira Jehovha nziyo.
7 Imvani mawu anga pamene ndiyitana Inu Yehova mundichitire chifundo ndipo mundiyankhe.
Inzwai inzwi rangu kana ndichidana, imi Jehovha; ndinzwirei ngoni mugondipindura.
8 Mtima wanga ukuti kwa Inu, “Funafuna nkhope yake!” Nkhope yanu Yehova ndidzayifunafuna.
Mwoyo wangu unoti kwandiri, “Tsvaka chiso chake!” Chiso chenyu, Jehovha, ndichachitsvaka.
9 Musandibisire nkhope yanu, musamubweze mtumiki wanu mwamkwiyo; mwakhala muli thandizo langa. Musandikane kapena kunditaya, Inu Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga.
Regai kundivanzira chiso chenyu, musadzinga muranda wenyu mukutsamwa; makanga muri mubatsiri wangu. Regai kundiramba kana kundisiya, imi Mwari Muponesi wangu.
10 Ngakhale abambo ndi amayi anga anditaya Yehova adzandisamala.
Kunyange baba vangu namai vangu vakandisiya, Jehovha achandigamuchira.
11 Phunzitseni njira yanu Inu Yehova, munditsogolere mʼnjira yowongoka chifukwa cha ondizunza.
Ndidzidzisei nzira yenyu, imi Jehovha; ndisesedzei munzira yakarurama nokuda kwavamanikidzi vangu.
12 Musandipereke ku zokhumba za adani anga, pakuti mboni zambiri zauka kutsutsana nane ndipo zikundiopseza.
Regai kundisundira kuzvido zvavavengi vangu, nokuti zvapupu zvenhema zvinondimukira, vachifemedzeka nehasha.
13 Ine ndikutsimikiza mtima za zimenezi; ndidzaona ubwino wa Yehova mʼdziko la anthu amoyo.
Ndichine chokwadi neizvi zvokuti: ndichaona kunaka kwaJehovha munyika yavapenyu.
14 Dikirani pa Yehova; khalani anyonga ndipo limbani mtima nimudikire Yehova.
Rindira Jehovha; iva nesimba, utsunge mwoyo ugomirira Jehovha.
