Masalimo 71
1 Mwa Inu Yehova ine ndathawiramo; musalole kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi.
In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be disappointed for all time.
2 Mundilanditse ndi kundipulumutsa mwa chilungamo chanu, mutchere khutu lanu ndi kundipulumutsa.
You deliver me in Your righteousness, And cause me to escape, Incline Your ear to 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 a rock to me—a habitation, To go in continually, You have given command to save me, For You [are] my rock and my bulwark.
4 Landitseni Inu Mulungu wanga, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa ndi anthu ankhanza.
O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
5 Pakuti Inu mwakhala chiyembekezo changa, Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, chilimbikitso changa kuyambira ndili mwana.
For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, My trust from my youth.
6 Kuyambira pamene ndinabadwa, ndakhala ndikudalira Inu; Inu munanditulutsa mʼmimba mwa amayi anga, ndipo ndidzakupembedzani nthawi zonse.
I have been supported from the womb by You, You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, My praise [is] continually in You.
7 Ine ndakhala chinthu chodabwitsa kwa anthu ambiri koma Inu ndinu wonditchinjiriza wamphamvu.
I have been as a wonder to many, And You [are] my strong refuge.
8 Pakamwa panga padzaza ndi matamando anu, kulengeza ulemerero wanu tsiku lonse.
My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, All the day [with] Your beauty.
9 Musanditaye pamene ndakalamba; musandisiye pamene mphamvu zanga zatha.
Do not cast me off at the time of old age, Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power.
10 Pakuti adani anga ayankhula motsutsana nane; iwo amene amadikira kuti andiphe amapangana pamodzi.
For my enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
11 Iwo amati, “Mulungu wamusiya; mutsatireni ndi kumugwira, pakuti palibe amene adzamupulumutse.”
Saying, “God has forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.”
12 Musakhale kutali ndi ine Inu Mulungu, bwerani msanga, Inu Mulungu wanga; thandizeni.
O God, do not be far from me, O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Ondineneza anga awonongeke mwa manyazi, iwo amene akufuna kundipweteka avale chitonzo ndi manyazi.
They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
14 Koma ine ndidzakhala ndi chiyembekezo mwa Inu nthawi zonse, ndidzakutamandani mowirikizawirikiza.
And I continually wait with hope, And have added to all Your praise.
15 Pakamwa panga padzafotokoza za chilungamo chanu, za chipulumutso chanu tsiku lonse, ngakhale sindikudziwa muyeso wake.
My mouth recounts Your righteousness, All the day Your salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
16 Ndidzabwera ndi kulengeza za machitidwe amphamvu zanu Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Ndidzalengeza chilungamo chanu, chanu chokha.
I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 Kuyambira ubwana wanga, Inu Mulungu mwakhala mukundiphunzitsa, ndipo mpaka lero ine ndikulengeza za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa
God, You have taught me from my youth, And until now I declare Your wonders.
18 Ngakhale pamene ndakalamba ndipo imvi zili mbuu musanditaye Inu Mulungu, mpaka nditalengeza mphamvu zanu kwa mibado yonse yakutsogolo.
And also to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to a generation, Your might to everyone that comes.
19 Mphamvu zanu ndi kulungama kwanu zimafika mpaka kumwambamwamba. Ndani wofanana nanu Inu Mulungu, amene mwachita zazikulu?
And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, Because You have done great things, O God, who [is] like You?
20 Ngakhale mwandionetsa mavuto ambiri owawa, mudzabwezeretsanso moyo wanga; kuchokera kunsi kwa dziko lapansi, mudzandiukitsanso.
Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, You turn back—You revive me, And from the depths of the earth, You turn back—You bring me up.
21 Inu mudzachulukitsa ulemu wanga ndi kunditonthozanso.
You increase my greatness, And You surround—You comfort me,
22 Ndidzakutamandani ndi zeze chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwanu Mulungu, ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu ndi pangwe, Inu Woyera wa Israeli.
I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
23 Milomo yanga idzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu amene mwandiwombola.
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, And my soul that You have redeemed,
24 Lilime langa lidzafotokoza za ntchito zanu zachilungamo tsiku lonse, pakuti iwo amene amafuna kundipweteka achititsidwa manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa.
My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
