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. On jeduthun. A psalm of David. I wait alone in silence for God; From him comes my help.
2 Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa ndi chipulumutso changa; Iye ndi linga langa, choncho sindidzagwedezeka.
Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.
3 Kodi nonsenu mudzalimbana naye munthu mpaka liti? Kodi mudzamugwetsa pansi ngati khoma losalimba, ngati mpanda wogwedezeka?
How long will you, all of you, batter a man, as one might a leaning wall?
4 Iwo akufunitsitsa kumugwetsa kuti achoke pa malo ake apamwamba. Iwo amakondweretsedwa ndi mabodza. Ndi pakamwa pawo amadalitsa koma mʼmitima yawo amatemberera.
From his height they are planning to topple him. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse. (Selah)
5 Peza mpumulo mwa Mulungu yekhayo iwe moyo wanga; chiyembekezo changa chichokera mwa Iye.
I wait alone in silence for God; for from him comes my hope.
6 Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa ndi chipulumutso changa; Iyeyo ndi linga langa; sindidzagwedezeka.
Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.
7 Chipulumutso changa ndi ulemu wanga zimachokera kwa Mulungu: Iye ndiye thanthwe langa lamphamvu; Mulungu ndiye pothawira panga.
On God rests my honour and safety, in God is my strong rock, my refuge.
8 Dalirani Iye nthawi zonse, inu anthu; khuthulani mitima yanu kwa Iye, pakuti Mulungu ndiye pothawirapo pathu. (Sela)
Trust in him, all you people assembled, pour out your heart in his presence; 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
The lowly are nought but a breath, the lofty are but an illusion: in the balances up they go, they are lighter than breath altogether.
10 Musadalire kulanda mwachinyengo kapena katundu wobedwa; ngakhale chuma chanu chichuluke, musayike mtima wanu pa icho.
Trust not in gain of extortion, set no vain hopes in robbery. As for wealth, if it bears fruit, set not your heart upon it.
11 Mulungu wayankhula kamodzi, ine ndamvapo zinthu ziwiri; choyamba nʼchakuti Inu Mulungu ndinu wamphamvu,
One thing God has uttered, two things there are which I heard that power belongs to God,
12 komanso Inu Ambuye, chikondi chanu nʼchosasinthika. Chachiwiri nʼchakuti mumamuchitira munthu molingana ndi ntchito zake.
and to you, too, O Lord, belongs kindness; for you requite each person according to what they have done.
