Masalimo 31
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mwa Inu Yehova, ine ndimathawiramo; musalole nʼkomwe kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi; mundipulumutse chifukwa cha chilungamo chanu.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed for all time, In Your righteousness deliver me.
2 Tcherani khutu lanu kwa ine, bwerani msanga kudzandilanditsa; mukhale thanthwe langa lothawirapo, linga lolimba kundipulumutsa ine.
Incline Your ear to me quickly, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
3 Popeza Inu ndinu thanthwe langa ndi linga langa, chifukwa cha dzina lanu tsogolereni ndi kundiwongolera.
For You [are] my rock and my bulwark, For Your Name’s sake lead me and tend me.
4 Ndimasuleni mu msampha umene anditchera pakuti ndinu pothawirapo panga.
Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For You [are] my strength.
5 Mʼmanja mwanu ndipereka mzimu wanga; womboleni Yehova Mulungu wachoonadi.
Into Your hand I commit my spirit, You have redeemed me, YHWH God of truth.
6 Koma ine ndimadana nawo amene amamamatira mafano achabechabe; ine ndimadalira Yehova.
I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I have been confident toward YHWH.
7 Ndidzakondwa ndi kusangalala mʼchikondi chanu popeza Inu munaona masautso anga ndipo mumadziwa kuwawa kwa moyo wanga.
I rejoice, and am glad in Your kindness, In that You have seen my affliction, You have known my soul in adversities.
8 Inu simunandipereke kwa mdani koma mwayika mapazi anga pa malo otakasuka.
And You have not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, You have caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
9 Mundichitire chifundo Inu Yehova pakuti ndili pa mavuto; maso anga akulefuka ndi chisoni, mʼmoyo mwanga ndi mʼthupi mwanga momwe mukupweteka.
Favor me, O YHWH, for distress [is] to me, My eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
10 Moyo wanga ukunyeka chifukwa cha kuwawidwa mtima ndi zaka zanga chifukwa cha kubuwula; mphamvu zanga zatha chifuwa cha masautso, ndipo mafupa anga akulefuka.
For my life has been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. My strength has been feeble because of my iniquity, And my bones have become old.
11 Chifukwa cha adani anga onse, ndine wonyozeka kwambiri ndi anansi anga; ndine chochititsa manyazi kwa abwenzi anga. Iwo amene amandiona mu msewu amandithawa.
I have been a reproach among all my adversaries, And to my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to my acquaintances, Those seeing me without—fled from me.
12 Ine ndinayiwalika kwa iwo ngati kuti ndinamwalira; ndakhala ngati mʼphika wosweka.
I have been forgotten as dead, out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
13 Pakuti ine ndamva zonena zoyipa za anthu ambiri; zoopsa zandizungulira mbali zonse; iwo akukonza chiwembu kuti alimbane nane, kuti atenge moyo wanga.
For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] all around. In their being united against me, They have devised to take my life,
14 Koma ndikudalira Inu Yehova; ndikunena kuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.”
And I have trusted on You, O YHWH, I have said, “You [are] my God.”
15 Masiku anga ali mʼmanja mwanu; ndipulumutseni kwa adani anga ndi kwa iwo amene akundithamangitsa.
In Your hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
16 Walitsani nkhope yanu pa mtumiki wanu; pulumutseni mwa chikondi chanu chosatha.
Cause Your face to shine on Your servant, Save me in Your kindness.
17 Yehova musalole kuti ndichite manyazi, pakuti ndalirira kwa Inu; koma oyipa achititsidwe manyazi ndipo agone chete mʼmanda. (Sheol h7585)
O YHWH, do not let me be ashamed, For I have called You, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Milomo yawo yabodzayo ikhale chete, pakuti chifukwa cha kunyada ayankhula modzikuza kutsutsana ndi wolungama.
Let lips of falsehood become mute, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
19 Ndi waukulu ubwino wanu umene mwawasungira amene amakuopani, umene mumapereka anthu akuona kwa iwo amene amathawira kwa Inu.
How abundant is Your goodness, That You have laid up for those fearing You, You have worked for those trusting in You, Before sons of men.
20 Mu mthunzi wa pamalo popezeka panu muwabisa, kuwateteza ku ziwembu za anthu; mʼmalo anu okhalamo mumawateteza kwa anthu owatsutsa.
You hide them in the secret place of Your presence, From schemes of man, You conceal them in a dwelling place, From the strife of tongues.
21 Matamando akhale kwa Yehova, pakuti anaonetsa chikondi chake chodabwitsa kwa ine pamene ndinali mu mzinda wozingidwa.
Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has made His kindness marvelous To me in a city of bulwarks.
22 Ndili mʼnkhawa zanga ndinati, “Ine ndachotsedwa pamaso panu!” Komabe Inu munamva kupempha chifundo kwanga pamene ndinapempha thandizo kwa Inu.
And I have said in my haste, “I have been cut off from before Your eyes,” But You have heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You.
23 Kondani Yehova oyera mtima ake onse! Yehova amasunga wokhulupirika koma amalanga kwathunthu anthu odzikuza.
Love YHWH, all you His saints, YHWH is keeping the faithful, And repaying a proud doer abundantly.
24 Khalani ndi nyonga ndipo limbani mtima, inu nonse amene mumayembekezera Yehova.
Be strong, and He strengthens your heart, All you who are waiting for YHWH!
