Masalimo 88
1 Salimo la ana a Kora. Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a nyimbo yoti: “Pa Matenda ndi pa Mazunzo.” Ndakatulo ya Hemani, wa banja la Ezara. Inu Yehova, Mulungu amene mumandipulumutsa, usana ndi usiku ndimalira pamaso panu.
A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “SICKNESS TO AFFLICT.” AN INSTRUCTION OF HEMAN THE EZRAHITE. O YHWH, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before You,
2 Pemphero langa lifike pamaso panu; tcherani khutu lanu kuti mumve kulira kwanga.
My prayer comes in before You, Incline Your ear to my loud cry,
For my soul has been full of evils, And my life has come to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ndikuwerengedwa pamodzi ndi iwo amene akutsikira ku dzenje; ndine munthu wopanda mphamvu.
I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
5 Ndayikidwa pambali pamodzi ndi anthu akufa, monga ophedwa amene agona mʼmanda, amene Inu simuwakumbukiranso, amene achotsedwa pa chisamaliro chanu.
Among the dead—free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom You have not remembered anymore, Indeed, they have been cut off by Your hand.
6 Mwandiyika pansi pa dzenje penipeni, mʼmalo akuya a mdima waukulu.
You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
7 Ukali wanu ukundipsinja kwambiri, mwandiopseza kwambiri ndi mafunde anu onse. (Sela)
Your fury has lain on me, And You have afflicted [with] all Your breakers. (Selah)
8 Mwandichotsa pakati pa abwenzi anga enieni ndipo mwachititsa kuti ndikhale chonyansa kwa iwo. Ndatsekerezedwa ndipo sindingathe kuthawa;
You have put my acquaintance far from me, You have made me an abomination to them, Shut up—I do not go forth.
9 maso anga ada ndi chisoni. Ndimayitana Inu Yehova tsiku lililonse; ndimakweza manja anga kwa Inu.
My eye has grieved because of affliction, I called You, O YHWH, all the day, I have spread out my hands to You.
10 Kodi mumaonetsa zozizwitsa zanu kwa anthu akufa? Kodi iwo amene afa amaukanso ndi kutamanda Inu? (Sela)
Do You do wonders to the dead? Does Rephaim rise? Do they thank You? (Selah)
11 Kodi chikondi chanu chimalalikidwa mʼmanda, za kukhulupirika kwanu ku malo a chiwonongeko?
Is Your kindness recounted in the grave? Your faithfulness in destruction?
12 Kodi zozizwitsa zanu zimadziwika ku malo a mdima, kapena ntchito zanu zolungama ku dziko la anthu oyiwalika?
Are Your wonders known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Inu Yehova, Ine ndimalirira thandizo; mmawa mapemphero anga amafika pamaso panu.
And I, to You, O YHWH, I have cried, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14 Inu Yehova nʼchifukwa chiyani mukundikana ndi kundibisira nkhope yanu?
Why, O YHWH, do You cast off my soul? You hide Your face from me.
15 Kuyambira ubwana wanga ndakhala ndikuzunzika pafupi kufa; ndakhala ndikuchita mantha ndipo ndine wothedwa nzeru.
I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Your terrors—I pine away.
16 Ukali wanu wandimiza; zoopsa zanu zandiwononga.
Your wrath has passed over me, Your terrors have cut me off,
17 Tsiku lonse zimandizungulira ngati chigumula; zandimiza kwathunthu.
They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone around against me together,
18 Inu mwatenga anzanga ndi okondedwa anga kuwachotsa pamaso panga; mdima ndiye bwenzi langa lenileni.
You have put lover and friend far from me, My acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
