Masalimo 71
1 Mwa Inu Yehova ine ndathawiramo; musalole kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi.
In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
2 Mundilanditse ndi kundipulumutsa mwa chilungamo chanu, mutchere khutu lanu ndi kundipulumutsa.
Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn 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 to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Landitseni Inu Mulungu wanga, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa ndi anthu ankhanza.
Rescue me, 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 you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6 Kuyambira pamene ndinabadwa, ndakhala ndikudalira Inu; Inu munanditulutsa mʼmimba mwa amayi anga, ndipo ndidzakupembedzani nthawi zonse.
I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
7 Ine ndakhala chinthu chodabwitsa kwa anthu ambiri koma Inu ndinu wonditchinjiriza wamphamvu.
I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8 Pakamwa panga padzaza ndi matamando anu, kulengeza ulemerero wanu tsiku lonse.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honour all day long.
9 Musanditaye pamene ndakalamba; musandisiye pamene mphamvu zanga zatha.
Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Pakuti adani anga ayankhula motsutsana nane; iwo amene amadikira kuti andiphe amapangana pamodzi.
For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
11 Iwo amati, “Mulungu wamusiya; mutsatireni ndi kumugwira, pakuti palibe amene adzamupulumutse.”
saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
12 Musakhale kutali ndi ine Inu Mulungu, bwerani msanga, Inu Mulungu wanga; thandizeni.
God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
13 Ondineneza anga awonongeke mwa manyazi, iwo amene akufuna kundipweteka avale chitonzo ndi manyazi.
Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
14 Koma ine ndidzakhala ndi chiyembekezo mwa Inu nthawi zonse, ndidzakutamandani mowirikizawirikiza.
But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
15 Pakamwa panga padzafotokoza za chilungamo chanu, za chipulumutso chanu tsiku lonse, ngakhale sindikudziwa muyeso wake.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
16 Ndidzabwera ndi kulengeza za machitidwe amphamvu zanu Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Ndidzalengeza chilungamo chanu, chanu chokha.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of 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. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
18 Ngakhale pamene ndakalamba ndipo imvi zili mbuu musanditaye Inu Mulungu, mpaka nditalengeza mphamvu zanu kwa mibado yonse yakutsogolo.
Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
19 Mphamvu zanu ndi kulungama kwanu zimafika mpaka kumwambamwamba. Ndani wofanana nanu Inu Mulungu, amene mwachita zazikulu?
God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
20 Ngakhale mwandionetsa mavuto ambiri owawa, mudzabwezeretsanso moyo wanga; kuchokera kunsi kwa dziko lapansi, mudzandiukitsanso.
You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Inu mudzachulukitsa ulemu wanga ndi kunditonthozanso.
Increase my honour and comfort me again.
22 Ndidzakutamandani ndi zeze chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwanu Mulungu, ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu ndi pangwe, Inu Woyera wa Israeli.
I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 Milomo yanga idzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu amene mwandiwombola.
My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
24 Lilime langa lidzafotokoza za ntchito zanu zachilungamo tsiku lonse, pakuti iwo amene amafuna kundipweteka achititsidwa manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa.
My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
