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 Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.
2 Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa ndi chipulumutso changa; Iye ndi linga langa, choncho sindidzagwedezeka.
He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.
3 Kodi nonsenu mudzalimbana naye munthu mpaka liti? Kodi mudzamugwetsa pansi ngati khoma losalimba, ngati mpanda wogwedezeka?
How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like 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 fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight 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.
My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
6 Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa ndi chipulumutso changa; Iyeyo ndi linga langa; sindidzagwedezeka.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
7 Chipulumutso changa ndi ulemu wanga zimachokera kwa Mulungu: Iye ndiye thanthwe langa lamphamvu; Mulungu ndiye pothawira panga.
My salvation and my honor is with God. 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, you 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
Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.
10 Musadalire kulanda mwachinyengo kapena katundu wobedwa; ngakhale chuma chanu chichuluke, musayike mtima wanu pa icho.
Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.
11 Mulungu wayankhula kamodzi, ine ndamvapo zinthu ziwiri; choyamba nʼchakuti Inu Mulungu ndinu wamphamvu,
God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
12 komanso Inu Ambuye, chikondi chanu nʼchosasinthika. Chachiwiri nʼchakuti mumamuchitira munthu molingana ndi ntchito zake.
Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
