Masalimo 62
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Kutsata mayimbidwe a Yedutuni. Salimo la Davide. Moyo wanga umapeza mpumulo mwa Mulungu yekha; chipulumutso changa chimachokera kwa Iye.
To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David. My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.
2 Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa ndi chipulumutso changa; Iye ndi linga langa, choncho sindidzagwedezeka.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 Kodi nonsenu mudzalimbana naye munthu mpaka liti? Kodi mudzamugwetsa pansi ngati khoma losalimba, ngati mpanda wogwedezeka?
How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?
4 Iwo akufunitsitsa kumugwetsa kuti achoke pa malo ake apamwamba. Iwo amakondweretsedwa ndi mabodza. Ndi pakamwa pawo amadalitsa koma mʼmitima yawo amatemberera.
Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah)
5 Peza mpumulo mwa Mulungu yekhayo iwe moyo wanga; chiyembekezo changa chichokera mwa Iye.
My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.
6 Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa ndi chipulumutso changa; Iyeyo ndi linga langa; sindidzagwedezeka.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
7 Chipulumutso changa ndi ulemu wanga zimachokera kwa Mulungu: Iye ndiye thanthwe langa lamphamvu; Mulungu ndiye pothawira panga.
In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.
8 Dalirani Iye nthawi zonse, inu anthu; khuthulani mitima yanu kwa Iye, pakuti Mulungu ndiye pothawirapo pathu. (Sela)
Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah)
9 Anthu wamba ndi mpweya chabe; anthu apamwamba ndi bodza chabe; ngati atayezedwa pa sikelo iwo ndi chabe; iwowo pamodzi ndi mpweya ndi chabe
Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.
10 Musadalire kulanda mwachinyengo kapena katundu wobedwa; ngakhale chuma chanu chichuluke, musayike mtima wanu pa icho.
Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.
11 Mulungu wayankhula kamodzi, ine ndamvapo zinthu ziwiri; choyamba nʼchakuti Inu Mulungu ndinu wamphamvu,
Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:
12 komanso Inu Ambuye, chikondi chanu nʼchosasinthika. Chachiwiri nʼchakuti mumamuchitira munthu molingana ndi ntchito zake.
And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
