Psalms 139
1 O Jehovah, thou have searched me, and known.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mwandisanthula ndipo mukundidziwa.
2 Thou know my sitting down and my rising up. Thou understand my thought afar off.
Inu mumadziwa pamene ndikhala pansi ndi pamene ndidzuka; mumazindikira maganizo anga muli kutali.
3 Thou search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
Mumapenyetsetsa pamene ndikutuluka ndi kugona kwanga; mumadziwa njira zanga zonse.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Jehovah, thou know it altogether.
Mawu asanatuluke pa lilime langa mumawadziwa bwinobwino, Inu Yehova.
5 Thou have beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
Mumandizinga kumbuyo ndi kutsogolo komwe; mwasanjika dzanja lanu pa ine.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is high, I cannot attain to it.
Nzeru zimenezi ndi zopitirira nzeru zanga, ndi zapamwamba kuti ine ndizipeze.
7 Where shall I go from thy Spirit? Or where shall I flee from thy presence?
Kodi ndingapite kuti kufuna kuzemba Mzimu wanu? Kodi ndingathawire kuti kuchoka pamaso panu?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou are there. (Sheol h7585)
Ndikakwera kumwamba, Inu muli komweko; ndikakagona ku malo a anthu akufa, Inu muli komweko. (Sheol h7585)
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the outermost parts of the sea,
Ngati ndiwulukira kotulukira dzuwa, ngati ndikakhala ku malekezero a nyanja,
10 even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
kumenekonso dzanja lanu lidzanditsogolera, dzanja lanu lamanja lidzandigwiriziza.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light around me shall be night,
Ndikanena kuti, “Zoonadi, mdima udzandibisa ndithu ndipo kuwunika kukhale mdima mondizungulira,”
12 even the darkness hides not from thee, but the night shines as the day. The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
komabe mdimawo sudzakhala mdima kwa Inu; usiku udzawala ngati masana, pakuti mdima uli ngati kuwunika kwa Inu.
13 For thou formed my inward parts. Thou covered me in my mother's womb.
Pakuti Inu munalenga za mʼkati mwanga; munandiwumba pamodzi mʼmimba mwa amayi anga.
14 I will give thanks to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are thy works, and that my soul knows right well.
Ndimakuyamikani chifukwa ndinapangidwa mochititsa mantha ndi modabwitsa; ntchito zanu ndi zodabwitsa, zimenezi ndimazidziwa bwino lomwe.
15 My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Mapangidwe anga sanabisike pamaso panu pamene ndimapangidwa mʼmalo achinsinsi, pamene ndinkawumbidwa mwaluso mʼmimba ya amayi anga.
16 Thine eyes saw my unformed substance, and in thy book they were all written, even the days that were ordained, when as yet there was none of them.
Maso anu anaona thupi langa lisanawumbidwe. Masiku onse amene anapatsidwa kwa ine, analembedwa mʼbuku lanu asanayambe nʼkuwerengedwa komwe.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
Zolingalira zanu pa ine ndi zamtengowapatali, Inu Mulungu, ndi zosawerengeka ndithu!
18 I count them; they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
Ndikanaziwerenga, zikanakhala zochuluka kuposa mchenga; pamene ndadzuka, ndili nanube.
19 Surely thou will kill the wicked, O God. Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
Ndi bwino mukanangopha anthu oyipa, Inu Mulungu! Chokereni inu anthu owononga anzanu!
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take it in vain.
Amayankhula za Inu ndi zolinga zoyipa; adani anu amagwiritsa ntchito dzina lanu molakwika.
21 Do I not hate them, O Jehovah, who hate thee? And am I not grieved with those who rise up against thee?
Kodi ine sindidana nawo amene amakudani, Inu Yehova? Kodi sindinyansidwa nawo amene amakuwukirani?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
Ndimadana nawo kwathunthu; ndi adani anga.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts,
Santhuleni, Inu Mulungu ndipo mudziwe mtima wanga; Yeseni ndipo mudziwe zolingalira zanga.
24 and see if there is any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.
Onani ngati muli mayendedwe aliwonse oyipa mwa ine, ndipo munditsogolere mʼnjira yanu yamuyaya.
