Masalimo 86
1 Pemphero la Davide. Ndimvereni Yehova ndipo mundiyankhe, pakuti ndine wosauka ndi wosowa.
A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.
2 Yangʼanirani moyo wanga, pakuti ndine wodzipereka kwa Inu. Inu ndinu Mulungu wanga; pulumutsani mtumiki wanu amene amadalira Inu. Inu ndinu Mulungu wanga.
Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
3 Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Ambuye, pakuti ndikuyitana Inu tsiku lonse.
O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.
4 Bweretsani chimwemwe kwa mtumiki wanu, Ambuye, pakuti ndimadalira Inu.
Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
5 Inu Ambuye, ndinu wokhululuka ndi wabwino, wodzaza ndi chikondi kwa onse amene amayitana Inu.
For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
6 Yehova imvani pemphero langa; mvetserani kulira kwanga kofuna chifundo.
Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7 Pa tsiku la mavuto anga ndidzayitana Inu, pakuti Inu mudzandiyankha.
In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.
8 Pakati pa milungu palibe wina wofanana nanu Ambuye; palibe ntchito zolingana ndi ntchito zanu.
There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.
9 Mitundu yonse ya anthu imene munayipanga idzabwera ndi kudzalambira pamaso panu Ambuye; iwo adzabweretsa ulemerero pa dzina lanu.
All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. And they will glorify your name.
10 Pakuti ndinu wamkulu ndipo mumachita zodabwitsa; Inu nokha ndiye Mulungu.
For you are great, and you perform wonders. You alone are God.
11 Ndiphunzitseni njira yanu Yehova, ndipo ndidzayenda mʼchoonadi chanu; patseni mtima wosagawikana kuti ndilemekeze dzina lanu.
Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.
12 Ndidzakutamandani Ambuye Mulungu wanga, ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndidzalemekeza dzina lanu kwamuyaya.
I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.
For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 Inu Mulungu wanga, anthu odzikuza akundithira nkhondo; anthu ankhanza akufuna kundipha, amene salabadira za Inu.
O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.
15 Koma Ambuye ndinu Mulungu wachifundo ndi wokoma mtima, wosakwiya msanga, wodzaza ndi chikondi ndi wokhulupirika.
And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
16 Tembenukirani kwa ine ndipo ndichitireni chifundo; perekani mphamvu zanu kwa mtumiki wanu ndipo pulumutsani mwana wa mdzakazi wanu.
Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
17 Mundionetse chizindikiro cha ubwino wanu kuti adani achione ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi, pakuti Yehova mwandithandiza ndi kunditonthoza.
Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.
