Masalimo 94
1 Inu Yehova, ndinu Mulungu wobwezera chilango, Inu Mulungu amene mumabwezera chilango, wonetsani kuwala kwanu.
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
2 Nyamukani, Inu woweruza wa dziko lapansi; bwezerani kwa odzikuza zowayenera.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Kodi mpaka liti anthu oyipa Inu Yehova, mpaka liti anthu oyipa adzalumpha ndi chimwemwe?
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Amakhuthula mawu onyada; onse ochita zoyipa ndi odzaza ndi kudzikuza.
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Amaphwanya anthu anu, Inu Yehova; amapondereza cholowa chanu.
They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage.
6 Amaphanso amayi a masiye ndi alendo okhala nawo mʼdziko; amapha ana amasiye.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Iwo amati, “Yehova sakuona; Mulungu wa Yakobo salabadirako.”
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Samalani, inu anthu opanda nzeru pakati pa anthu; zitsiru inu, kodi mudzakhala liti anzeru?
Understand, ye stupid among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Kodi Iye amene anapanga khutu sangathe kumva? Kodi Iye amene anapanga diso sangathe kuona?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Kodi Iye amene amalangiza mitundu ya anthu sangathenso kulanga? Kodi Iye amene amaphunzitsa munthu angasowe nzeru?
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know?
11 Yehova amadziwa maganizo a munthu; Iye amadziwa kuti maganizowo ndi achabechabe.
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Wodala munthu amene Inu Yehova mumamulangiza, munthu amene mumamuphunzitsa kuchokera mulamulo lanu;
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 mumamupumitsa pa nthawi ya mavuto, mpaka woyipa atakumbiridwa dzenje.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 Pakuti Yehova sadzawakana anthu ake; Iye sadzasiya cholowa chake.
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Chiweruzo chidzakhazikikanso pa chilungamo, ndipo onse olungama mtima adzachitsata.
But judgment shall return to righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Ndani adzadzuka chifukwa cha ine kulimbana ndi anthu oyipa? Ndani adzayimirira mʼmalo mwanga kulimbana ndi anthu ochita zoyipa?
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Yehova akanapanda kundithandiza, bwenzi nditakakhala msanga ku malo achete a imfa.
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Ndikanena kuti, “Phazi langa likuterereka,” chikondi chanu, Inu Yehova, chimandichirikiza.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 Pamene nkhawa inakula mʼkati mwanga, chitonthozo chanu chinabweretsa chimwemwe mʼmoyo mwanga.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Kodi mpando waufumu woyipa ungathe kugwirizana nanu umene umabweretsa masautso chifukwa cha malamulo ake?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 Iwo amasonkhana pamodzi kulimbana ndi wolungama ndi kugamula kuti wosalakwa aphedwe.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 Koma Yehova wakhala linga langa, ndipo Mulungu ndiye thanthwe limene ndimathawirako.
But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 Iye adzawabwezera chifukwa cha machimo awo ndi kuwawononga chifukwa cha kuyipa kwawo; Yehova Mulungu wathu adzawawononga.
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
