Masalimo 52

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe, ndakatulo ya Davide; pamene Doegi Mwedomu anapita kwa Sauli ndi kunena kuti “Davide wapita ku nyumba ya Ahimeleki.” Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukudzitamandira ndi zoyipa, iwe munthu wamphamvu? Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukudzitamandira tsiku lonse, iwe munthu wochititsa manyazi pamaso pa Mulungu?

To the choirmaster a poem of David. When came - Doeg the Edomite and he told to Saul and he said to him he has gone David to [the] house of Ahimelech. Why? do you boast in evil O mighty [man] [the] covenant loyalty of God [is] all the day.

2 Tsiku lonse umakhalira kuganizira za kuwononga ena; lilime lako lili ngati lumo lakuthwa, ntchito yako nʼkunyenga.

Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.

3 Iwe umakonda choyipa mʼmalo mwa kuyankhula choonadi. Umakonda kunama kupambana kuyankhula zoona. (Sela)

You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)

4 Umakonda mawu onse opweteka, iwe lilime lachinyengo!

You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.

5 Zoonadi Mulungu adzakutsitsa kupita ku chiwonongeko chamuyaya: iye adzakukwatula ndi kukuchotsa mʼtenti yako; iye adzakuzula kuchoka mʼdziko la amoyo.

Also God he will tear down you to perpetuity he will snatch up you and he will tear away you from a tent and he will root up you from [the] land of living [people] (Selah)

6 Olungama adzaona zimenezi ndi kuchita mantha; adzamuseka nʼkumanena kuti,

So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.

7 “Pano tsopano pali munthu amene sanayese Mulungu linga lake, koma anakhulupirira chuma chake chambiri nalimbika kuchita zoyipa!”

There! the man [who] not he made God refuge his and he trusted in [the] greatness of rich[es] his he was strong in destruction his.

8 Koma ine ndili ngati mtengo wa olivi wobiriwira bwino mʼnyumba ya Mulungu; ndimadalira chikondi chosatha cha Mulungu kwa nthawi za nthawi.

And I - [am] like an olive tree luxuriant in [the] house of God I trust in [the] covenant loyalty of God forever and ever.

9 Ine ndidzakutamandani kwamuyaya chifukwa cha zimene mwachita; chifukwa cha zimene mwachita; mʼdzina lanu ndidzayembekezera pakuti dzina lanulo ndi labwino. Ndidzakutamandani pamaso pa oyera mtima anu.

I will give thanks to you for ever for you have acted and I may wait for name your for [it is] good before faithful [people] your.
