< Masalimo 86 >
1 Pemphero la Davide. Ndimvereni Yehova ndipo mundiyankhe, pakuti ndine wosauka ndi wosowa.
A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
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: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Ambuye, pakuti ndikuyitana Inu tsiku lonse.
Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to thee daily.
4 Bweretsani chimwemwe kwa mtumiki wanu, Ambuye, pakuti ndimadalira Inu.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Inu Ambuye, ndinu wokhululuka ndi wabwino, wodzaza ndi chikondi kwa onse amene amayitana Inu.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.
6 Yehova imvani pemphero langa; mvetserani kulira kwanga kofuna chifundo.
Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Pa tsiku la mavuto anga ndidzayitana Inu, pakuti Inu mudzandiyankha.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 Pakati pa milungu palibe wina wofanana nanu Ambuye; palibe ntchito zolingana ndi ntchito zanu.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like thy works.
9 Mitundu yonse ya anthu imene munayipanga idzabwera ndi kudzalambira pamaso panu Ambuye; iwo adzabweretsa ulemerero pa dzina lanu.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10 Pakuti ndinu wamkulu ndipo mumachita zodabwitsa; Inu nokha ndiye Mulungu.
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11 Ndiphunzitseni njira yanu Yehova, ndipo ndidzayenda mʼchoonadi chanu; patseni mtima wosagawikana kuti ndilemekeze dzina lanu.
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Ndidzakutamandani Ambuye Mulungu wanga, ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndidzalemekeza dzina lanu kwamuyaya.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 Pakuti chikondi chanu nʼchachikulu kwa ine; mwandipulumutsa ku malo ozama a manda. (Sheol )
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol )
14 Inu Mulungu wanga, anthu odzikuza akundithira nkhondo; anthu ankhanza akufuna kundipha, amene salabadira za Inu.
O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 Koma Ambuye ndinu Mulungu wachifundo ndi wokoma mtima, wosakwiya msanga, wodzaza ndi chikondi ndi wokhulupirika.
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Tembenukirani kwa ine ndipo ndichitireni chifundo; perekani mphamvu zanu kwa mtumiki wanu ndipo pulumutsani mwana wa mdzakazi wanu.
O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Mundionetse chizindikiro cha ubwino wanu kuti adani achione ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi, pakuti Yehova mwandithandiza ndi kunditonthoza.
Show me a sign for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
