Masalimo 71
1 Mwa Inu Yehova ine ndathawiramo; musalole kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi.
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Mundilanditse ndi kundipulumutsa mwa chilungamo chanu, mutchere khutu lanu ndi kundipulumutsa.
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thy 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 thou my strong habitation, where I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 Landitseni Inu Mulungu wanga, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa ndi anthu ankhanza.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Pakuti Inu mwakhala chiyembekezo changa, Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, chilimbikitso changa kuyambira ndili mwana.
For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust 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 sustained from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s womb: my praise shall be continually of thee.
7 Ine ndakhala chinthu chodabwitsa kwa anthu ambiri koma Inu ndinu wonditchinjiriza wamphamvu.
I am as a wonder to many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Pakamwa panga padzaza ndi matamando anu, kulengeza ulemerero wanu tsiku lonse.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Musanditaye pamene ndakalamba; musandisiye pamene mphamvu zanga zatha.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 Pakuti adani anga ayankhula motsutsana nane; iwo amene amadikira kuti andiphe amapangana pamodzi.
For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Iwo amati, “Mulungu wamusiya; mutsatireni ndi kumugwira, pakuti palibe amene adzamupulumutse.”
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute 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 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.
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 Koma ine ndidzakhala ndi chiyembekezo mwa Inu nthawi zonse, ndidzakutamandani mowirikizawirikiza.
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 Pakamwa panga padzafotokoza za chilungamo chanu, za chipulumutso chanu tsiku lonse, ngakhale sindikudziwa muyeso wake.
My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not their numbers.
16 Ndidzabwera ndi kulengeza za machitidwe amphamvu zanu Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Ndidzalengeza chilungamo chanu, chanu chokha.
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17 Kuyambira ubwana wanga, Inu Mulungu mwakhala mukundiphunzitsa, ndipo mpaka lero ine ndikulengeza za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and to this day have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 Ngakhale pamene ndakalamba ndipo imvi zili mbuu musanditaye Inu Mulungu, mpaka nditalengeza mphamvu zanu kwa mibado yonse yakutsogolo.
Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19 Mphamvu zanu ndi kulungama kwanu zimafika mpaka kumwambamwamba. Ndani wofanana nanu Inu Mulungu, amene mwachita zazikulu?
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like thee!
20 Ngakhale mwandionetsa mavuto ambiri owawa, mudzabwezeretsanso moyo wanga; kuchokera kunsi kwa dziko lapansi, mudzandiukitsanso.
Thou, who hast shown me great and many troubles, wilt revive me again, and shalt bring me again from the depths of the earth.
21 Inu mudzachulukitsa ulemu wanga ndi kunditonthozanso.
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 Ndidzakutamandani ndi zeze chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwanu Mulungu, ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu ndi pangwe, Inu Woyera wa Israeli.
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O 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 sing to thee; and my soul, whom thou hast redeemed.
24 Lilime langa lidzafotokoza za ntchito zanu zachilungamo tsiku lonse, pakuti iwo amene amafuna kundipweteka achititsidwa manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa.
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
