Masalimo 77
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Yedutuni. Salimo la Asafu. Ndinafuwulira Mulungu kupempha thandizo; ndinafuwula mokweza kwa Mulungu kuti anditcherere khutu.
For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will lift up my voice unto God, and cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me.
2 Pamene ndinali pa masautso ndinafunafuna Ambuye; usiku ndinatambasula manja mosalekeza ndipo moyo wanga unakana kutonthozedwa.
In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; with my hand uplifted, mine eye streameth in the night without ceasing; my soul refuseth to be comforted.
3 Ndinakumbukira Inu Mulungu, ndipo ndinabuwula; ndinasinkhasinkha ndipo mzimu wanga unalefuka. (Sela)
When I think thereon, O God, I must moan; when I muse thereon, my spirit fainteth. (Selah)
4 Munagwira zikope zanga kuti ndisagone ndipo ndinavutika kwambiri kuti ndiyankhule.
Thou holdest fast the lids of mine eyes; I am troubled, and cannot speak.
5 Ndinaganizira za masiku akale, zaka zamakedzana;
I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 Ndinakumbukira nyimbo zanga usiku. Mtima wanga unasinkhasinkha ndipo mzimu wanga unafunsa kuti,
In the night I will call to remembrance my song; I will commune with mine own heart; and my spirit maketh diligent search:
7 “Kodi Ambuye adzatikana mpaka muyaya? Kodi Iwo sadzaonetsanso kukoma mtima kwawo?
'Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more?
8 Kodi Chikondi chake chosatha chija chatheratu? Kodi malonjezo ake alephera nthawi yonse?
Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore?
9 Kodi Mulungu wayiwala kukhala wokoma mtima? Kodi mu mkwiyo wake waleka chifundo chake?”
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath He in anger shut up his compassions?' (Selah)
10 Ndipo ndinaganiza, “Pa izi ine ndidzapemphanso: zaka za dzanja lamanja la Wammwambamwamba.
And I say: 'This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change.
11 Ine ndidzakumbukira ntchito za Yehova; Ine ndidzakumbukira zodabwitsa zanu za kalekale.
I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; yea, I will remember Thy wonders of old.
12 Ndidzakumbukira ntchito zanu ndi kulingalira zodabwitsa zanu.”
I will meditate also upon all Thy work, and muse on Thy doings.'
13 Njira zanu Mulungu ndi zoyera. Kodi ndi mulungu uti ali wamkulu kuposa Mulungu wathu?
O God, Thy way is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God?
14 Inu ndinu Mulungu wochita zodabwitsa; Mumaonetsera mphamvu yanu pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
Thou art the God that doest wonders; Thou hast made known Thy strength among the peoples.
15 Ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu munawombola anthu anu, zidzukulu za Yakobo ndi Yosefe. (Sela)
Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Madzi anakuonani Mulungu, madzi anakuonani ndipo anachita mantha; nyanja yozama inakomoka.
The waters saw Thee, O God; the waters saw Thee, they were in pain; the depths also trembled.
17 Mitambo inakhuthula madzi ake pansi, mu mlengalenga munamveka mabingu; mivi yanu inawuluka uku ndi uku.
The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Thine arrows also went abroad.
18 Bingu lanu linamveka mʼmphepo ya kamvuluvulu, mphenzi yanu inawalitsa dziko lonse; dziko lapansi linanjenjemera ndi kugwedezeka.
The voice of Thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lighted up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
19 Njira yanu inadutsa pa nyanja, njira yanu inadutsa pa madzi amphamvu, ngakhale zidindo za mapazi anu sizinaoneke.
Thy way was in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps were not known.
20 Inu munatsogolera anthu anu ngati gulu la nkhosa mwa dzanja la Mose ndi Aaroni.
Thou didst lead Thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
