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.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, do not rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Ndichitireni chifundo Inu Yehova, pakuti ndalefuka; Inu Yehova chiritseni, pakuti mafupa anga ali pa ululu waukulu.
Be gracious to me, Jehovah, for I am frail. Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are trembling.
3 Moyo wanga uli pa mazunzo aakulu. Mpaka liti, Inu Yehova, mpaka liti?
And my soul is greatly troubled. But you, Jehovah, how long?
4 Tembenukani Inu Yehova, ndipo mundilanditse; pulumutseni chifukwa cha chikondi chanu chosasinthika.
Return, Jehovah. Deliver my soul. Save me because of your lovingkindness.
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 Ine ndatopa ndi kubuwula; usiku wonse pa bedi panga pamadzaza ndi misozi yanga; ndimanyowetsa pogona panga ndi misozi.
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I drench my bed; I melt my couch with my tears.
7 Maso anga atupa chifukwa cha chisoni; akulephera kuona chifukwa cha adani anga.
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8 Chokani kwa ine inu nonse amene mumachita zoyipa, pakuti Yehova wamva kulira kwanga.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 Yehova wamva kupempha kwanga kofuna chifundo; Yehova walandira pemphero langa.
Jehovah has heard my plea. Jehovah has accepted my prayer.
10 Adani anga onse adzachita manyazi ndipo adzakhala ndi mantha; adzabwerera msangamsanga mwa manyazi.
May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified. May they turn back, suddenly ashamed.
