Masalimo 41
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Wodala ndi munthu amene amaganizira anthu osauka; Yehova amamuwombola pa nthawi yamsautso.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
2 Yehova adzamuteteza ndi kusunga moyo wake; Yehova adzamudalitsa iye mʼdziko ndipo sadzamupereka ku zofuna za adani ake.
May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.
3 Yehova adzamuthandiza pamene akudwala ndipo adzamuchiritsa pa bedi lake la matenda.
May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.
4 Ndinati, “Inu Yehova, mundichitire chifundo; chiritseni pakuti ndakuchimwirani.”
I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”
5 Adani anga mwankhwidzi amanena za ine kuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyu adzafa liti kuti ayiwalike?”
My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?
6 Pamene wina abwera kudzandiona, amayankhula mwachinyengo, pomwe mtima wake ukusonkhanitsa zachipongwe; kenaka iye amatuluka ndi kukalengeza kunja.
And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.
7 Adani anga onse amanongʼonezana pamodzi kulimbana nane, iwo amalingalira zoyipa kwambiri za ine, ponena kuti,
All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.
8 “Matenda owopsa amugwira; sadzaukapo pamalo pamene wagona.”
They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?
9 Ngakhale bwenzi langa la pamtima amene ndinamudalira, iye amene amadya pamodzi ndi ine watukula chidendene chake kulimbana nane.
For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.
10 Koma Yehova mundichititre chifundo, dzutseni kuti ndiwabwezere.
But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.
11 Ine ndikudziwa kuti mukukondwera nane, pakuti mdani wanga sandigonjetsa.
By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.
12 Mu ungwiro wanga Inu mumandisunga ndi kundiyimika pamaso panu kwamuyaya.
But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.
13 Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli kuchokera muyaya mpaka muyaya. Ameni ndi Ameni.
Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.
