Psalms 37
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, nor be thou envious against those who work unrighteousness.
Salimo la Davide. Usamavutike chifukwa cha anthu oyipa kapena kuchitira nsanje amene akuchita cholakwa;
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
pakuti monga udzu iwo adzafota msanga, ngati mbewu zobiriwira adzanyala msanga.
3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good. Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.
Khulupirira Yehova ndipo uzichita zabwino; khazikika mʼdziko ndi kutsata zokhulupirika.
4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
Udzikondweretse wekha mwa Yehova ndipo Iye adzakupatsa zokhumba za mtima wako.
5 Commit thy way to Jehovah. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.
Pereka njira yako kwa Yehova; dalira Iye ndipo Iyeyo adzachita izi:
6 And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy justice as the noon-day.
Iye adzachititsa chilungamo chako kuwala ngati mʼbandakucha, chiweruzo chako ngati dzuwa la masana.
7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him. Fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
Khala chete pamaso pa Yehova ndipo umudikire mofatsa; usavutike pamene anthu apambana mʼnjira zawo, pamene iwo achita zinthu zawo zoyipa.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Fret not thyself, it tends only to evil-doing.
Pewa kupsa mtima ndipo tembenuka kuchoka ku ukali, usavutike chifukwa zimenezi zimatsogolera ku zoyipa.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land.
Pakuti anthu oyipa adzachotsedwa, koma iwo amene amayembekeza mwa Yehova adzalandira dziko.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked man shall not be. Yea, thou shall diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
Kwa kanthawi oyipa sadzapezekanso; ngakhale muwafunefune, sadzapezekanso.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Koma ofatsa adzalandira dziko ndipo adzasangalala ndi mtendere waukulu.
12 The wicked man plots against the righteous man, and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
Oyipa amakonza chiwembu kutsutsana ndi olungama ndipo amawakukutira mano;
13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
koma Ambuye amaseka oyipa pakuti Iye amadziwa kuti tsiku lawo likubwera.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill such as are upright in the way.
Oyipa amasolola lupanga ndi kupinda uta kugwetsa osauka ndi osowa, kupha iwo amene njira zawo ndi zolungama.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Koma malupanga awo analasa mitima yawo yomwe, ndipo mauta awo anathyoka.
16 Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.
Zabwino zochepa zimene olungama ali nazo ziposa chuma cha anthu oyipa ambiri;
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholds the righteous.
pakuti mphamvu ya oyipa idzasweka, koma Yehova amasunga olungama.
18 Jehovah knows the days of the perfect, and their inheritance shall be forever.
Masiku a anthu osalakwa amadziwika ndi Yehova, ndipo cholowa chawo chidzakhala mpaka muyaya.
19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Pa nthawi ya mavuto iwo sadzafota; mʼmasiku a njala adzakhala ndi zinthu zambiri.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah is as the fat of lambs: they shall disintegrate; they shall disintegrate away into smoke.
Koma oyipa adzawonongeka; adani a Yehova adzakhala ngati kukongola kwa kuthengo, iwo adzazimirira ngati utsi.
21 The wicked man borrows, and pays not again, but the righteous man deals graciously, and gives.
Oyipa amabwereka ndipo sabweza koma olungama amapereka mowolowamanja.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land, and those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
Iwo amene Yehova amawadalitsa adzalandira dziko, koma amene Iye amawatemberera adzachotsedwa.
23 A man's goings are established by Jehovah, and he delights in his way.
Ngati Yehova akondwera ndi njira ya munthu, amakhazikitsa mayendedwe ake;
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholds him with his hand.
ngakhale atapunthwa sadzagwa, pakuti Yehova amamutchinjiriza ndi dzanja lake.
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Ine ndinali wamngʼono ndipo tsopano ndakalamba koma sindinaonepo olungama akusiyidwa kapena ana awo akupempha chakudya.
26 All the day long he deals graciously, and lends, and his seed is blessed.
Iwo ndi owolowamanja nthawi zonse ndipo amabwereketsa mwaufulu; ana awo adzadalitsika.
27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore.
Tembenuka kuchoka ku zoyipa ndipo chita zabwino; pamenepo udzakhazikika mʼdziko kwamuyaya.
28 For Jehovah loves justice, and forsakes not his sanctified. They are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Pakuti Yehova amakonda wolungama ndipo sadzasiya okhulupirika ake. Iwo adzatetezedwa kwamuyaya, koma zidzukulu za oyipa zidzachotsedwa;
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell in it forever.
olungama adzalandira dziko ndipo adzakhazikikamo kwamuyaya.
30 The mouth of a righteous man talks of wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
Pakamwa pa munthu wolungama pamayankhula za nzeru, ndipo lilime lake limayankhula zolungama.
31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
Lamulo la Mulungu wake lili mu mtima mwake; mapazi ake saterereka.
32 A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him.
Oyipa amabisala kudikira olungama; kufunafuna miyoyo yawoyo;
33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
koma Yehova sadzawasiya pansi pa mphamvu yawo kapena kuti atsutsidwe pamene abweretsedwa pa milandu.
34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land. When sinners are cut off, thou shall see it.
Khulupirira Yehova, ndipo sunga njira yake; Iye adzakukweza ndipo udzalandira dziko kuti likhale lako; udzaona anthu oyipa akuwonongeka.
35 I have seen a wicked man in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
Ine ndinaona munthu woyipa ndi munthu wopanda chifundo akupeza bwino ngati mtengo wobiriwira pa nthaka ya makolo ake.
36 But I passed by, and, lo, he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Koma sanachedwe kumwalira ndipo sanaonekenso; ngakhale ndinamuyangʼanayangʼana, sanapezekenso.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for there is a happy end to the man of peace.
Ganizira za munthu wosalakwa, yangʼanitsitsa munthu wolungama; udzaona kuti ali ndi tsogolo labwino ndipo ali ndi zidzukulu zambiri.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Koma anthu ochimwa adzawonongeka; iwowo pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zawo zomwe.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble,
Chipulumutso cha olungama chimachokera kwa Yehova; Iye ndiye linga lawo pa nthawi ya masautso.
40 and Jehovah helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from sinners, and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
Yehova amawathandiza ndi kuwalanditsa; Iye amawalanditsa kwa oyipa ndi kuwapulumutsa, pakuti amathawira kwa Iye.
