Masalimo 38
1 Salimo la Davide. Kupempha. Yehova musandidzudzule mutapsa mtima kapena kundilanga muli ndi ukali.
A Psalm of David, to make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
2 Pakuti mivi yanu yandilasa, ndipo dzanja lanu latsika ndipo landifikira.
For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
3 Chifukwa cha ukali wanu mulibe thanzi mʼthupi langa; mafupa anga alibe mphamvu chifukwa cha tchimo langa.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 Kulakwa kwanga kwandipsinja ngati katundu wolemera kwambiri kuposa mphamvu zanga.
For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 Mabala anga akuwola ndipo akununkha chifukwa cha uchitsiru wa moyo wanga wauchimo.
My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
6 Ine ndapindika msana ndipo ndawerama kwambiri; tsiku lonse ndimangolira.
I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
7 Msana wanga wagwidwa ndi ululu wosasimbika, mulibe thanzi mʼthupi langa.
For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Ndilibe mphamvu ndipo ndakunthidwa kwathunthu; ndikubuwula ndi ululu wa mumtima.
I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
9 Zokhumba zanga zonse zili poonekera pamaso panu Ambuye, kusisima kwanga sikunabisike kwa Inu.
Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
10 Mtima wanga ukugunda, mphamvu zanga zikutha; ngakhale kuwala kwachoka mʼmaso mwanga.
My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 Abwenzi anga ndi anzanga akundipewa chifukwa cha mabala anga; anansi anga akhala kutali nane.
My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Iwo amene akufunafuna moyo wanga atchera misampha yawo, oti andipwetekewo amayankhula za kuwonongeka kwanga; tsiku lonse amakonza zachinyengo.
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.
13 Ine ndili ngati munthu wosamva amene sangamve, monga wosayankhula, amene sangathe kutsekula pakamwa pake;
But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Ndakhala ngati munthu amene samva, amene pakamwa pake sipangathe kuyankha.
Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
15 Ndikudikira Inu Yehova; mudzayankha, Inu Ambuye Mulungu wanga.
For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16 Pakuti Ine ndinati, “Musawalole kuti akondwere kapena kudzikweza okha pa ine pamene phazi langa laterereka.”
For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
17 Pakuti ndili pafupi kugwa, ndipo ndikumva kuwawa nthawi zonse.
For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
18 Ndikuvomereza mphulupulu zanga; ndipo ndavutika ndi tchimo langa.
For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
19 Ambiri ndi adani anga amphamvu; amene amandida popanda chifukwa alipo ochuluka kwambiri.
But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 Iwo amene amandibwezera zoyipa mʼmalo mwa zabwino amandinyoza pamene nditsatira zabwino.
They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21 Inu Yehova, musanditaye; musakhale kutali ndi ine Mulungu wanga.
Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
22 Bwerani msanga kudzandithandiza, Inu Ambuye Mpulumutsi wanga.
Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
