Masalimo 40

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mofatsa ndinadikira Yehova Iye anatembenukira kwa ine ndipo anamva kulira kwanga.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,

2 Ananditulutsa mʼdzenje lachitayiko, mʼthope ndi mʼchithaphwi; Iye anakhazikitsa mapazi anga pa thanthwe ndipo anandipatsa malo oyimapo olimba.

And He causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.

3 Iye anayika nyimbo yatsopano mʼkamwa mwanga, nyimbo yamatamando kwa Mulungu wanga. Ambiri adzaona, nadzaopa ndipo adzakhulupirira Yehova.

And He puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.

4 Ndi wodala munthu amakhulupirira Yehova; amene sayembekezera kwa odzikuza, kapena kwa amene amatembenukira kwa milungu yabodza.

O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

5 Zambiri, Yehova Mulungu wanga, ndi zodabwitsa zimene Inu mwachita. Zinthu zimene munazikonzera ife palibe amene angathe kukuwerengerani. Nditati ndiyankhule ndi kufotokozera, zidzakhala zambiri kuzifotokoza.

You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

6 Nsembe ndi zopereka Inu simuzifuna, koma makutu anga mwawatsekula; zopereka zopsereza ndi zopereka chifukwa cha tchimo Inu simunazipemphe.

Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.

7 Kotero ndinati, “Ndili pano, ndabwera. Mʼbuku mwalembedwa za ine.

Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,

8 Ndikufuna kuchita chifuniro chanu, Inu Mulungu wanga; lamulo lanu lili mu mtima mwanga.”

I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my heart.”

9 Ndikulalikira uthenga wa chilungamo chanu mu msonkhano waukulu; sinditseka milomo yanga monga mukudziwa Inu Yehova.

I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.

10 Sindibisa chilungamo chanu mu mtima mwanga; ndinayankhula za kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chipulumutso chanu. Ine sindiphimba chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu pa msonkhano waukulu.

I have not concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.

11 Musandichotsere chifundo chanu Yehova; chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu zinditeteze nthawi zonse.

You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.

12 Pakuti mavuto osawerengeka andizungulira; machimo anga andigonjetsa, ndipo sindingathe kuona. Alipo ambiri kuposa tsitsi la mʼmutu mwanga, ndipo mtima wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.

13 Pulumutseni Yehova; Bwerani msanga Yehova kudzandithandiza.

Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.

14 Onse amene akufunafuna kuchotsa moyo wanga achititsidwe manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa; onse amene amakhumba chiwonongeko changa abwezedwe mwamanyazi.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

15 Iwo amene amanena kwa ine kuti, “Hee! Hee!” abwerere akuchita manyazi.

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”

16 Koma iwo amene amafunafuna Inu akondwere ndi kusangalala mwa Inu; iwo amene amakonda chipulumutso chanu nthawi zonse anene kuti, “Yehova akwezeke!”

All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is magnified.”

17 Komabe Ine ndine wosauka ndi wosowa; Ambuye andiganizire. Inu ndinu thandizo langa ndi wondiwombola wanga; Inu Mulungu wanga, musachedwe.

And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
