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?
Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo bere a Edomni Doeg bɛka kyerɛɛ Saulo se, “Dawid akɔ Ahimelek fi” no. Ɔkɛse, adɛn nti na wohoahoa wo ho wɔ wo bɔne ho? Adɛn nti na wohoahoa wo ho da mu nyinaa, wo a woyɛ animguasede wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so?
2 Tsiku lonse umakhalira kuganizira za kuwononga ena; lilime lako lili ngati lumo lakuthwa, ntchito yako nʼkunyenga.
Wo tɛkrɛma bɔ ɔsɛe ho pɔw; ɛte sɛ oyiwan a ano yɛ nam yiye. Wo a wutwa nkontompo nko ara.
3 Iwe umakonda choyipa mʼmalo mwa kuyankhula choonadi. Umakonda kunama kupambana kuyankhula zoona. (Sela)
Wʼani gye bɔne ho sen papa, wopɛ atoro sen sɛ wobɛka nokware.
4 Umakonda mawu onse opweteka, iwe lilime lachinyengo!
Wodɔ asɛm biara a ɛde ɔhaw ba, wo tɛkrɛma daadaafo!
5 Zoonadi Mulungu adzakutsitsa kupita ku chiwonongeko chamuyaya: iye adzakukwatula ndi kukuchotsa mʼtenti yako; iye adzakuzula kuchoka mʼdziko la amoyo.
Ampa ara Onyankopɔn de ɔsɛe a enni awiei bɛbrɛ wo; ɔbɛtwe wo afi wo ntamadan mu na watetew wo mu; Ɔbɛtɔre wʼase wɔ ateasefo asase so.
6 Olungama adzaona zimenezi ndi kuchita mantha; adzamuseka nʼkumanena kuti,
Atreneefo behu eyi na wɔasuro; wɔbɛserew no na wɔaka se,
7 “Pano tsopano pali munthu amene sanayese Mulungu linga lake, koma anakhulupirira chuma chake chambiri nalimbika kuchita zoyipa!”
“Hwɛ, onipa no ni, nea wamfa Onyankopɔn anyɛ nʼabandennen na mmom ɔde ne ho too nʼahonya dodow so, na onyaa ahoɔden de sɛee afoforo no!”
8 Koma ine ndili ngati mtengo wa olivi wobiriwira bwino mʼnyumba ya Mulungu; ndimadalira chikondi chosatha cha Mulungu kwa nthawi za nthawi.
Nanso mete sɛ ngodua a ɛrenyin wɔ Onyankopɔn fi: mede me ho to Onyankopɔn dɔ a ɛnsa da no so daa nyinaa.
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.
Meyi wo ayɛ daa wɔ nea woayɛ nti; wo din so na mʼani bɛda, efisɛ eye. Meyi wo ayɛ wɔ wʼahotefo anim. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde “mahalat” sanku nne na ɛto.
