Masalimo 71
1 Mwa Inu Yehova ine ndathawiramo; musalole kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi.
A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:
2 Mundilanditse ndi kundipulumutsa mwa chilungamo chanu, mutchere khutu lanu ndi kundipulumutsa.
Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
3 Mukhale thanthwe langa lothawirapo, kumene ine nditha kupita nthawi zonse; lamulani kuti ndipulumuke, pakuti Inu ndinu thanthwe langa ndi linga langa.
Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.
4 Landitseni Inu Mulungu wanga, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa ndi anthu ankhanza.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
5 Pakuti Inu mwakhala chiyembekezo changa, Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, chilimbikitso changa kuyambira ndili mwana.
For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;
6 Kuyambira pamene ndinabadwa, ndakhala ndikudalira Inu; Inu munanditulutsa mʼmimba mwa amayi anga, ndipo ndidzakupembedzani nthawi zonse.
By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother’s womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:
7 Ine ndakhala chinthu chodabwitsa kwa anthu ambiri koma Inu ndinu wonditchinjiriza wamphamvu.
I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
8 Pakamwa panga padzaza ndi matamando anu, kulengeza ulemerero wanu tsiku lonse.
Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.
9 Musanditaye pamene ndakalamba; musandisiye pamene mphamvu zanga zatha.
Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
10 Pakuti adani anga ayankhula motsutsana nane; iwo amene amadikira kuti andiphe amapangana pamodzi.
For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
11 Iwo amati, “Mulungu wamusiya; mutsatireni ndi kumugwira, pakuti palibe amene adzamupulumutse.”
Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.
12 Musakhale kutali ndi ine Inu Mulungu, bwerani msanga, Inu Mulungu wanga; thandizeni.
O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.
13 Ondineneza anga awonongeke mwa manyazi, iwo amene akufuna kundipweteka avale chitonzo ndi manyazi.
Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
14 Koma ine ndidzakhala ndi chiyembekezo mwa Inu nthawi zonse, ndidzakutamandani mowirikizawirikiza.
But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.
15 Pakamwa panga padzafotokoza za chilungamo chanu, za chipulumutso chanu tsiku lonse, ngakhale sindikudziwa muyeso wake.
My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not known learning,
16 Ndidzabwera ndi kulengeza za machitidwe amphamvu zanu Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Ndidzalengeza chilungamo chanu, chanu chokha.
I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
17 Kuyambira ubwana wanga, Inu Mulungu mwakhala mukundiphunzitsa, ndipo mpaka lero ine ndikulengeza za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa
Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
18 Ngakhale pamene ndakalamba ndipo imvi zili mbuu musanditaye Inu Mulungu, mpaka nditalengeza mphamvu zanu kwa mibado yonse yakutsogolo.
And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,
19 Mphamvu zanu ndi kulungama kwanu zimafika mpaka kumwambamwamba. Ndani wofanana nanu Inu Mulungu, amene mwachita zazikulu?
And thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?
20 Ngakhale mwandionetsa mavuto ambiri owawa, mudzabwezeretsanso moyo wanga; kuchokera kunsi kwa dziko lapansi, mudzandiukitsanso.
How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:
21 Inu mudzachulukitsa ulemu wanga ndi kunditonthozanso.
Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
22 Ndidzakutamandani ndi zeze chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwanu Mulungu, ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu ndi pangwe, Inu Woyera wa Israeli.
For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.
23 Milomo yanga idzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu amene mwandiwombola.
My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
24 Lilime langa lidzafotokoza za ntchito zanu zachilungamo tsiku lonse, pakuti iwo amene amafuna kundipweteka achititsidwa manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa.
Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
