Masalimo 6
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa zoyimbira za zingwe. Molingana ndi seminiti. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, musandidzudzule mu mkwiyo wanu, kapena kundilanga mu ukali wanu.
To the chief music-maker on corded instruments, on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, do not be bitter with me in your wrath; do not send punishment on me in the heat of your passion.
2 Ndichitireni chifundo Inu Yehova, pakuti ndalefuka; Inu Yehova chiritseni, pakuti mafupa anga ali pa ululu waukulu.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.
3 Moyo wanga uli pa mazunzo aakulu. Mpaka liti, Inu Yehova, mpaka liti?
My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?
4 Tembenukani Inu Yehova, ndipo mundilanditse; pulumutseni chifukwa cha chikondi chanu chosasinthika.
Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.
For in death there is no memory of you; in the underworld who will give you praise? (Sheol h7585)
6 Ine ndatopa ndi kubuwula; usiku wonse pa bedi panga pamadzaza ndi misozi yanga; ndimanyowetsa pogona panga ndi misozi.
The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.
7 Maso anga atupa chifukwa cha chisoni; akulephera kuona chifukwa cha adani anga.
My eyes are wasting away with trouble; they are becoming old because of all those who are against me.
8 Chokani kwa ine inu nonse amene mumachita zoyipa, pakuti Yehova wamva kulira kwanga.
Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.
9 Yehova wamva kupempha kwanga kofuna chifundo; Yehova walandira pemphero langa.
The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.
10 Adani anga onse adzachita manyazi ndipo adzakhala ndi mantha; adzabwerera msangamsanga mwa manyazi.
Let all those who are against me be shamed and deeply troubled; let them be turned back and suddenly put to shame.
