Masalimo 41
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Wodala ndi munthu amene amaganizira anthu osauka; Yehova amamuwombola pa nthawi yamsautso.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Blessed is he who is concerned for the weak; in the day of trouble, Yahweh will rescue him.
2 Yehova adzamuteteza ndi kusunga moyo wake; Yehova adzamudalitsa iye mʼdziko ndipo sadzamupereka ku zofuna za adani ake.
Yahweh will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; Yahweh will not turn him over to the will of his enemies.
3 Yehova adzamuthandiza pamene akudwala ndipo adzamuchiritsa pa bedi lake la matenda.
Yahweh will support him on the bed of suffering; you will make his bed of sickness into a bed of healing.
4 Ndinati, “Inu Yehova, mundichitire chifundo; chiritseni pakuti ndakuchimwirani.”
I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5 Adani anga mwankhwidzi amanena za ine kuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyu adzafa liti kuti ayiwalike?”
My enemies speak evil against me, saying, '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.
If my enemy comes to see me, he says worthless things; his heart gathers up my disaster for itself; when he goes away from me, he tells others about it.
7 Adani anga onse amanongʼonezana pamodzi kulimbana nane, iwo amalingalira zoyipa kwambiri za ine, ponena kuti,
All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they hope for my hurt.
8 “Matenda owopsa amugwira; sadzaukapo pamalo pamene wagona.”
They say, “An evil disease holds on tightly to him; now that he is lying down, he will rise up no more.”
9 Ngakhale bwenzi langa la pamtima amene ndinamudalira, iye amene amadya pamodzi ndi ine watukula chidendene chake kulimbana nane.
Indeed, even my own close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 Koma Yehova mundichititre chifundo, dzutseni kuti ndiwabwezere.
But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me and raise me up so that I may pay them back.
11 Ine ndikudziwa kuti mukukondwera nane, pakuti mdani wanga sandigonjetsa.
By this I know that you delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 Mu ungwiro wanga Inu mumandisunga ndi kundiyimika pamaso panu kwamuyaya.
As for me, you support me in my integrity and will keep me before your face forever.
13 Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli kuchokera muyaya mpaka muyaya. Ameni ndi Ameni.
May Yahweh, the God of Israel be praised from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
