Masalimo 7
1 Sigioni wa Davide, amene anayimbira Yehova zokhudza Kusi, wa fuko la Benjamini. Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, Ine ndikuthawira kwa Inu; pulumutseni ndi kundilanditsa kwa onse amene akundithamangitsa,
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;
2 mwina angandikadzule ngati mkango, ndi kundingʼamba popanda wondipulumutsa.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.
3 Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, ngati ndachita izi ndipo ndapezeka wolakwa,
Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 ngati ndachita zoyipa kwa iye amene ndili naye pa mtendere, kapena popanda chifukwa ndalanda mdani wanga,
If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me; )
5 pamenepo lolani adani anga andithamangitse ndi kundipitirira, lolani kuti moyo wanga aupondereze pansi ndipo mundigoneke pa fumbi. (Sela)
Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take [it], and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 Nyamukani Yehova, mu mkwiyo wanu; nyamukani kutsutsana ndi mkwiyo wa adani anga. Dzukani Mulungu wanga, lamulirani chilungamo chanu.
Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.
7 Lolani gulu la anthu a mitundu ina lisonkhane mokuzungulirani. Alamulireni muli kumwambako;
And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.
8 Yehova aweruzeni anthu a mitundu inayo. Ndiweruzeni Yehova, monga mwa chilungamo changa, monga mwa moyo wanga wangwiro, Inu Wammwambamwamba.
Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
9 Inu Mulungu wolungama, amene mumasanthula maganizo ndi mitima, thetsani chiwawa cha anthu oyipa ndipo wolungama akhale motetezedwa.
Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.
10 Chishango changa ndi Mulungu Wammwambamwamba, amene amapulumutsa olungama mtima.
My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Mulungu amaweruza molungama, Mulungu amene amaonetsa ukali wake tsiku ndi tsiku.
God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.
12 Ngati munthu satembenuka, Mulungu adzanola lupanga lake, Iye adzawerama ndi kukoka uta.
If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
13 Mulungu wakonza zida zake zoopsa; Iye wakonzekera mivi yake yoyaka moto.
And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
14 Taonani, munthu woyipa amalingalira zoyipa zokhazokha nthawi zonse. Zochita zake ndi zosokoneza ndi zovutitsa anthu ena.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:
15 Iye amene akumba dzenje ndi kulizamitsa amagwera mʼdzenje limene wakumbalo.
He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
16 Mavuto amene amayambitsa amamubwerera mwini; chiwawa chake chimatsikira pa mutu wake womwe.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Ine ndidzayamika Yehova chifukwa cha chilungamo chake; ndipo ndidzayimba nyimbo zamatamando pa dzina la Yehova Wammwambamwamba.
I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.
