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.
For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh 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, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.
3 Kodi nonsenu mudzalimbana naye munthu mpaka liti? Kodi mudzamugwetsa pansi ngati khoma losalimba, ngati mpanda wogwedezeka?
How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 Iwo akufunitsitsa kumugwetsa kuti achoke pa malo ake apamwamba. Iwo amakondweretsedwa ndi mabodza. Ndi pakamwa pawo amadalitsa koma mʼmitima yawo amatemberera.
They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)
5 Peza mpumulo mwa Mulungu yekhayo iwe moyo wanga; chiyembekezo changa chichokera mwa Iye.
Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.
6 Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa ndi chipulumutso changa; Iyeyo ndi linga langa; sindidzagwedezeka.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.
7 Chipulumutso changa ndi ulemu wanga zimachokera kwa Mulungu: Iye ndiye thanthwe langa lamphamvu; Mulungu ndiye pothawira panga.
Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Dalirani Iye nthawi zonse, inu anthu; khuthulani mitima yanu kwa Iye, pakuti Mulungu ndiye pothawirapo pathu. (Sela)
Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. (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
Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
10 Musadalire kulanda mwachinyengo kapena katundu wobedwa; ngakhale chuma chanu chichuluke, musayike mtima wanu pa icho.
Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11 Mulungu wayankhula kamodzi, ine ndamvapo zinthu ziwiri; choyamba nʼchakuti Inu Mulungu ndinu wamphamvu,
God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;
12 komanso Inu Ambuye, chikondi chanu nʼchosasinthika. Chachiwiri nʼchakuti mumamuchitira munthu molingana ndi ntchito zake.
Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
