Masalimo 69
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Akakombo.” Pulumutseni Inu Mulungu, pakuti madzi afika mʼkhosi
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” BY DAVID. Save me, O God, for waters have come to the soul.
2 Ine ndikumira mʼthope lozama mʼmene mulibe popondapo. Ndalowa mʼmadzi ozama; mafunde andimiza.
I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood has overflown me.
3 Ndafowoka ndikupempha chithandizo; kummero kwanga kwawuma gwaa, mʼmaso mwanga mwada kuyembekezera Mulungu wanga.
I have been wearied with my calling, My throat has been burned, My eyes have been consumed, waiting for my God.
4 Iwo amene amadana nane popanda chifukwa ndi ochuluka kuposa tsitsi la kumutu kwanga; ambiri ndi adani anga popanda chifukwa, iwo amene akufunafuna kundiwononga. Ndikukakamizidwa kubwezera zomwe sindinabe.
Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I did not take away—I bring back.
5 Mukudziwa uchitsiru wanga, Inu Mulungu, kulakwa kwanga sikuli kobisika kwa Inu.
O God, You have known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations have not been hid from You.
6 Iwo amene amadalira Inu asanyozedwe chifukwa cha ine, Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Iwo amene amafunafuna Inu asachititsidwe manyazi chifukwa cha ine, Inu Mulungu wa Israeli.
Do not let those waiting on You be ashamed because of me, O Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Do not let those seeking You Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Pakuti ndimapirira kunyozedwa chifukwa cha Inu, ndipo manyazi amaphimba nkhope yanga.
For because of You I have borne reproach, Shame has covered my face.
8 Ndine mlendo kwa abale anga, munthu wakudza kwa ana aamuna a amayi anga;
I have been a stranger to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
9 pakuti changu chochitira nyumba yanu chandiphetsa ndipo chipongwe cha iwo amene amanyoza Inu chandigwera.
For [my] zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of Your reproachers Have fallen on me.
10 Pamene ndikulira ndi kusala kudya, ndiyenera kupirira kunyozedwa;
And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
11 pomwe ndavala chiguduli, anthu amandiseweretsa.
And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am for an allegory to them.
12 Iwo amene amakhala pa chipata amandinena, ndipo ine ndine nyimbo ya zidakwa.
Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
13 Koma ndikupempha kwa Inu Ambuye, pa nthawi yanu yondikomera mtima; mwa chikondi chanu chachikulu Inu Mulungu, mundiyankhe pondipulumutsa.
And my prayer [is] to You, O YHWH, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Your kindness, Answer me in the truth of Your salvation.
14 Mundilanditse kuchoka mʼmatope, musalole kuti ndimire, pulumutseni ine kwa iwo amene amadana nane, kuchoka mʼmadzi ozama.
Deliver me from the mire, and do not let me sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
15 Musalole kuti chigumula chindimeze, kuya kusandimeze ndipo dzenje lisatseke pakamwa pake kundimiza.
Do not let a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth on me.
16 Ndiyankheni Inu Yehova mwa ubwino wanu wa chikondi chanu; mwa chifundo chanu chachikulu tembenukirani kwa ine.
Answer me, O YHWH, for Your kindness [is] good, Turn to me according to the abundance of Your mercies,
17 Musabisire nkhope yanu mtumiki wanu, ndiyankheni msanga, pakuti ndili pa mavuto.
And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress—hurry, answer me.
18 Bwerani pafupi ndi kundilanditsa; ndiwomboleni chifukwa cha adani anga.
Be near to my soul—redeem it, Ransom me because of my enemies.
19 Inu mukudziwa momwe ndanyozedwera, kunyozedwa ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi; adani anga onse ali pamaso panu.
You have known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, All my adversaries [are] before You.
20 Mnyozo waswa mtima wanga ndipo wandisiya wopanda thandizo lililonse; ndinafunafuna ena woti andichitire chisoni, koma panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe woti anditonthoze, sindinapeze ndi mmodzi yemwe.
Reproach has broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
21 Iwo anayika ndulu mʼchakudya changa ndi kundipatsa vinyo wosasa chifukwa cha ludzu.
And they give gall for my food, And cause me to drink vinegar for my thirst.
22 Chakudya chomwe chayikidwa patsogolo pawo chikhale msampha; chikhale chobwezera chilango ndiponso khwekhwe.
Their table before them is for a snare, And for a repayment—for a trap.
23 Maso awo adetsedwe kotero kuti asaonenso ndipo misana yawo ipindike mpaka kalekale.
Their eyes are darkened from seeing, And their loins continually shake You.
24 Khuthulirani ukali wanu pa iwo; mkwiyo wanu woyaka moto uwathe mphamvu.
Pour Your indignation on them, And the fierceness of Your anger seizes them.
25 Malo awo akhale wopanda anthu pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe wokhala mʼmatenti awo.
Their tower is desolated, There is no dweller in their tents.
26 Pakuti iwo amazunza amene inu munamuvulaza ndi kuyankhula zowawa kwa amene munawapweteka.
For they have pursued him [whom] You have struck, And recount of the pain of Your pierced ones.
27 Awonjezereni kulakwa pa kulakwa kwawo, musalole kuti akhale ndi gawo pa chipulumutso chanu.
Give punishment for their iniquity, And they do not enter into Your righteousness.
28 Iwo afufutidwe mʼbuku la amoyo ndipo asalembedwe pamodzi ndi olungama.
They are blotted out of the scroll of life, And are not written with the righteous.
29 Ndikumva zowawa ndi kuzunzika; lolani chipulumutso chanu, Inu Mulungu, chinditeteze.
And I [am] afflicted and pained, Your salvation, O God, sets me on high.
30 Ine ndidzatamanda dzina la Mulungu mʼnyimbo, ndidzalemekeza Iye ndi chiyamiko.
I praise the Name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
31 Izi zidzakondweretsa Yehova kupambana ngʼombe, kupambananso ngʼombe yayimuna, pamodzi ndi nyanga ndi ziboda zake.
And it is better to YHWH than an ox, A bullock—horned [and] hoofed.
32 Wosauka adzaona ndipo adzasangalala, Inu amene mumafunafuna Mulungu, mitima yanu ikhale ndi moyo!
The humble have seen—they rejoice, You who seek God—and your heart lives.
33 Yehova amamvera anthu osowa ndipo sanyoza anthu ake omangidwa.
For YHWH listens to the needy, And He has not despised His bound ones.
34 Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zitamanda Iye, nyanja ndi zonse zomwe zimayenda mʼmenemo,
The heavens and earth praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
35 pakuti Mulungu adzapulumutsa Ziyoni ndi kumanganso mizinda ya Yuda, anthu adzakhala kumeneko ndipo dzikolo lidzakhala lawo;
For God saves Zion, And builds the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
36 ana atumiki ake adzalitenga kukhala cholowa chawo, ndipo iwo amene amakonda dzina lake adzakhala kumeneko.
And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His Name dwell in it!
