Masalimo 36
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide, mtumiki wa Yehova. Uthenga uli mu mtima mwanga wonena za kuchimwa kwa munthu woyipa: Mu mtima mwake mulibe kuopa Mulungu.
TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,
2 Pakuti iye mʼkuona kwake amadzinyenga yekha kwambiri, sazindikira kapena kudana ndi tchimo lake.
For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
3 Mawu a pakamwa pake ndi oyipa ndi achinyengo; iyeyo waleka kukhala wanzeru ndi kuchita zabwino.
The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.
4 Ngakhale ali pa bedi pake amakonzekera zoyipa; iye amadzipereka yekha ku njira ya uchimo ndipo sakana cholakwa chilichonse.
He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”
5 Chikondi chanu Yehova, chimafika ku mayiko a kumwamba, kukhulupirika kwanu mpaka ku mitambo.
O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.
6 Chilungamo chanu Mulungu chili ngati mapiri aakulu, chiweruzo chanu chili ngati kuzama kwakukulu. Yehova mumasunga munthu pamodzi ndi chinyama.
Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.
7 Chikondi chanu chosatha ndi chamtengowapatali! Otchuka pamodzi ndi anthu wamba pakati pa anthu amapeza pothawirapo mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu.
How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.
8 Iwo amadyerera zinthu zambiri za mʼnyumba yanu; Inu mumawapatsa chakumwa kuchokera mu mtsinje wanu wachikondwerero.
They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.
9 Pakuti kwa Inu kuli kasupe wamoyo; mʼkuwala kwanu ifenso timaona kuwala.
For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.
10 Pitirizani chikondi chanu pa iwo amene amakudziwani, chilungamo chanu kwa olungama mtima.
Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
11 Musalole kuti phazi la wodzikuza libwere kulimbana nane, kapena dzanja la oyipa kundithamangitsa.
Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.
12 Onani momwe ochita zoyipa agonera atagwa, aponyeni pansi, kuti asathe kudzukanso!
Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
