Masalimo 42
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Ndakatulo ya ana a Kora. Monga mbawala ipuma wefuwefu kufunafuna mitsinje yamadzi, kotero moyo wanga upuma wefuwefu kufunafuna Inu Mulungu.
Unto the end, understanding for the sons of Core. As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
2 Moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu lofuna Mulungu, lofuna Mulungu wamoyo. Kodi ndipite liti kukakumana ndi Mulungu?
My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
3 Misozi yanga yakhala chakudya changa usana ndi usiku, pamene anthu akunena kwa ine tsiku lonse kuti, “Mulungu wako ali kuti?”
My tears have been any bread day and night, whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
4 Zinthu izi ndimazikumbukira pamene ndikukhuthula moyo wanga: momwe ndinkapitira ndi gulu lalikulu, kutsogolera mayendedwe a ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi mfuwu yachimwemwe ndi mayamiko pakati pa anthu a pa chikondwerero.
These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God: With the voice of joy and praise; the noise of one feasting.
5 Nʼchifukwa chiyani uli ndi chisoni, iwe moyo wanga? Nʼchifukwa chiyani wakhumudwa iwe mʼkati mwanga? Yembekezera Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamulambirabe, Mpulumutsi wanga ndi
Why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance,
6 Mulungu wanga. Moyo wanga uli ndi chisoni mʼkati mwanga kotero ndidzakumbukira Inu kuchokera ku dziko la Yorodani, ku mitunda ya Herimoni kuchokera ku phiri la Mizara.
And my God. My soul is troubled within myself: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
7 Madzi akuya akuyitana madzi akuya mu mkokomo wa mathithi anu; mafunde anu onse obwera mwamphamvu andimiza.
Deep calleth on deep, at the noise of thy flood-gates. All thy heights and thy billows have passed over me.
8 Koma usana Yehova amalamulira chikondi chake, nthawi ya usiku nyimbo yake ili nane; pemphero kwa Mulungu wa moyo wanga.
In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; and a canticle to him in the night. With me is prayer to the God of my life.
9 Ine ndikuti kwa Mulungu Thanthwe langa, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandiyiwala? Nʼchifukwa chiyani ndiyenera kuyenda ndikulira, woponderezedwa ndi mdani?”
I will say to God: Thou art my support. Why hast thou forgotten me? and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
10 Mafupa anga ali ndi ululu wakufa nawo pamene adani anga akundinyoza, tsiku lonse akunena kuti, “Mulungu wako ali kuti?”
Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day be day: Where is thy God?
11 Bwanji ukumva chisoni, iwe mtima wanga? Chifukwa chiyani ukuvutika chonchi mʼkati mwanga? Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamutamandanso, Iye amene ali thandizo langa ndi Mulungu wanga.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
