Masalimo 5
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe zoyimbira za zitoliro. Salimo la Davide. Tcherani khutu ku mawu anga, Inu Yehova, ganizirani za kusisima kwanga
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)
2 Mverani kulira kwanga kofuna thandizo, Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga, pakuti kwa Inu, ine ndikupemphera.
Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to thee will I pray.
3 Mmawa, Yehova mumamva mawu anga; Mmawa ndimayala zopempha zanga pamaso panu ndi kudikira mwachiyembekezo.
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] to thee, and will look up.
4 Inu si Mulungu amene mumasangalala ndi zoyipa; choyipa sichikhala pamaso panu.
For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 Onyada sangathe kuyima pamaso panu; Inu mumadana ndi onse ochita zoyipa.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Mumawononga iwo amene amanena mabodza; anthu akupha ndi achinyengo, Yehova amanyansidwa nawo.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 Koma Ine, mwa chifundo chanu chachikulu, ndidzalowa mʼNyumba yanu; mwa ulemu ndidzaweramira pansi kuyangʼana ku Nyumba yanu yoyera.
But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship towards 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 my enemies; make thy way 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 [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulcher; 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.
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
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 those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 Ndithu, Inu Yehova, mumadalitsa olungama; mumawazungulira ndi kukoma mtima kwanu ngati chishango.
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.
