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: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute. Hear my words, Lord: give heed to my whisper.
2 Mverani kulira kwanga kofuna thandizo, Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga, pakuti kwa Inu, ine ndikupemphera.
Attend to my loud cry for help, my king and my God.
3 Mmawa, Yehova mumamva mawu anga; Mmawa ndimayala zopempha zanga pamaso panu ndi kudikira mwachiyembekezo.
When I pray to you, Lord, in the morning, hear my voice. I make ready for you in the morning, and look for a sign.
4 Inu si Mulungu amene mumasangalala ndi zoyipa; choyipa sichikhala pamaso panu.
For you are no God who takes pleasure in wickedness: no one of evil can be your guest.
5 Onyada sangathe kuyima pamaso panu; Inu mumadana ndi onse ochita zoyipa.
No braggarts can stand in your presence, you hate all workers of wrong.
6 Mumawononga iwo amene amanena mabodza; anthu akupha ndi achinyengo, Yehova amanyansidwa nawo.
You destroy all speakers of lies, people of blood and deceit you abhor.
7 Koma Ine, mwa chifundo chanu chachikulu, ndidzalowa mʼNyumba yanu; mwa ulemu ndidzaweramira pansi kuyangʼana ku Nyumba yanu yoyera.
But I, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow.
8 Tsogolereni Inu Yehova, mwa chilungamo chanu chifukwa cha adani anga ndipo wongolani njira yanu pamaso panga.
Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way level before me.
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 their mouth is a stranger to truth, their heart is a pit of destruction. Their throat is a wide open grave, their tongue the smooth tongue of the hypocrite.
10 Lengezani kuti ndi olakwa, Inu Mulungu! Zochita zawo zoyipa zikhale kugwa kwawo. Achotseni pamaso panu chifukwa cha machimo awo ambiri, pakuti awukira Inu.
Condemn them, God; let their schemes bring them down to the ground. For their numberless crimes thrust them down for playing the rebel against you.
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 who take refuge in you ring out their gladness forever. Protect those who love your name, so they may exult in you.
12 Ndithu, Inu Yehova, mumadalitsa olungama; mumawazungulira ndi kukoma mtima kwanu ngati chishango.
For you give your blessing, Lord, to the godly, and the shield of your favor protects them.
