Masalimo 57
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Musawononge.” Ndakatulo ya Davide, pamene anathawa Sauli kupita ku phanga. Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Mulungu mundichitire chifundo, pakuti mwa Inu moyo wanga umathawiramo. Ndidzathawira mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu mpaka chiwonongeko chitapita.
For the leader. Al tashheth. A michtam of David, when he fled from Saul into a cave. Be gracious, O God, be gracious to me, for in you I take shelter. In your sheltering wings I take refuge, till ruin be over past.
2 Ine ndikufuwulira kwa Mulungu Wammwambamwamba, kwa Mulungu amene amakwaniritsa cholinga chake pa ine.
I cry to the Most High God, to the God who accomplishes for me.
3 Mulungu amanditumizira kuchokera kumwamba ndi kundipulumutsa, kudzudzula iwo amene akundithamangitsa kwambiri. Mulungu amatumiza chikondi chake ndi kukhulupirika kwake.
He will send me his succour from heaven, he will thrust away those who would trample me. (Selah)
4 Ine ndili pakati pa mikango, ndagona pakati pa zirombo zolusa; anthu amene mano awo ndi milomo yawo ndi mivi, malilime awo ndi malupanga akuthwa.
In the midst of lions I lie, who devour human prey. Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue is a sharpened sword.
5 Mukwezekedwe Inu Mulungu, kuposa mayiko onse akumwamba; mulole kuti ulemerero wanu ukhale pa dziko lonse lapansi.
Be exalted, God, o’er the heavens, and your glory o’er all the earth.
6 Iwo anatchera mapazi anga ukonde ndipo ndinawerama pansi mosautsidwa. Anakumba dzenje mʼnjira yanga koma agweramo okha mʼmenemo.
They set a net for my feet, but in it was their own foot caught. Before me they dug a pit, but they fell into it themselves. (Selah)
7 Mtima wanga ndi wokhazikika, Inu Mulungu mtima wanga ndi wokhazikika. Ndidzayimba nyimbo, nyimbo yake yamatamando.
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I would sing, I would make music;
8 Dzuka moyo wanga! Dzukani zeze ndi pangwe! Ndidzadzuka mʼbandakucha.
awake, my soul. Awake, harp and lyre; I would wake the dawn.
9 Ndidzakutamandani Ambuye, pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndidzayimba za Inu pakati pa mayiko.
I would praise you among the peoples, O Lord, and make music among the nations to you;
10 Pakuti chikondi chanu nʼchachikulu, kufikira ku mayiko akumwamba; kukhulupirika kwanu kwafika ku mitambo.
for great to heaven is your love, and your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 Mukwezekedwe Inu Mulungu kuposa mayiko akumwamba, mulole kuti ulemerero wanu ukhale pa dziko lonse lapansi.
Be exalted, God, o’er the heavens, and your glory o’er all the earth.
