Masalimo 5
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe zoyimbira za zitoliro. Salimo la Davide. Tcherani khutu ku mawu anga, Inu Yehova, ganizirani za kusisima kwanga
“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with wind instruments. A psalm of David.” Give ear to my words, O LORD; Have regard to my cry!
2 Mverani kulira kwanga kofuna thandizo, Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga, pakuti kwa Inu, ine ndikupemphera.
Listen to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God! For to thee do I address my prayer.
3 Mmawa, Yehova mumamva mawu anga; Mmawa ndimayala zopempha zanga pamaso panu ndi kudikira mwachiyembekezo.
In the morning shalt thou hear my voice, O LORD! In the morning will I address my prayer to thee, and look for help.
4 Inu si Mulungu amene mumasangalala ndi zoyipa; choyipa sichikhala pamaso panu.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; The unrighteous man dwelleth not with thee.
5 Onyada sangathe kuyima pamaso panu; Inu mumadana ndi onse ochita zoyipa.
The haughty shall not stand in thy sight; Thou hatest all that do iniquity.
6 Mumawononga iwo amene amanena mabodza; anthu akupha ndi achinyengo, Yehova amanyansidwa nawo.
Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; The man of blood and deceit the LORD abhorreth.
7 Koma Ine, mwa chifundo chanu chachikulu, ndidzalowa mʼNyumba yanu; mwa ulemu ndidzaweramira pansi kuyangʼana ku Nyumba yanu yoyera.
But I, through thy great goodness, will come to thy house; In thy fear will I worship at thy holy temple.
8 Tsogolereni Inu Yehova, mwa chilungamo chanu chifukwa cha adani anga ndipo wongolani njira yanu pamaso panga.
Lead me, O LORD! in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies; Make thy path straight before my face!
9 Palibe mawu ochokera mʼkamwa mwawo amene angadalirike; mtima wawo wadzaza ndi chiwonongeko. Kummero kwawo kuli ngati manda apululu; ndi lilime lawo amayankhula zachinyengo.
For in their mouth there is no truth; Their heart is malignity; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.
10 Lengezani kuti ndi olakwa, Inu Mulungu! Zochita zawo zoyipa zikhale kugwa kwawo. Achotseni pamaso panu chifukwa cha machimo awo ambiri, pakuti awukira Inu.
Requite them, O God! Let them be confounded in their devices; Cast them out for the multitude of their transgressions; For against thee have they rebelled!
11 Koma lolani kuti onse amene apeza chitetezo mwa Inu akondwere; lolani kuti aziyimba nthawi zonse chifukwa cha chimwemwe. Aphimbeni ndi chitetezo chanu, iwo amene amakonda dzina lanu akondwere mwa Inu.
But let all, that put their trust in thee, rejoice; Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; Let them, that love thy name, be joyful in thee!
12 Ndithu, Inu Yehova, mumadalitsa olungama; mumawazungulira ndi kukoma mtima kwanu ngati chishango.
For thou, O LORD! dost bless the righteous; With favor dost thou encompass him, as with a shield.
