< Psalms 36 >

1 For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD. A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide, mtumiki wa Yehova. Uthenga uli mu mtima mwanga wonena za kuchimwa kwa munthu woyipa: Mu mtima mwake mulibe kuopa Mulungu.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
Pakuti iye mʼkuona kwake amadzinyenga yekha kwambiri, sazindikira kapena kudana ndi tchimo lake.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
Mawu a pakamwa pake ndi oyipa ndi achinyengo; iyeyo waleka kukhala wanzeru ndi kuchita zabwino.
4 He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He does not abhor evil.
Ngakhale ali pa bedi pake amakonzekera zoyipa; iye amadzipereka yekha ku njira ya uchimo ndipo sakana cholakwa chilichonse.
5 Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Chikondi chanu Yehova, chimafika ku mayiko a kumwamba, kukhulupirika kwanu mpaka ku mitambo.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.
Chilungamo chanu Mulungu chili ngati mapiri aakulu, chiweruzo chanu chili ngati kuzama kwakukulu. Yehova mumasunga munthu pamodzi ndi chinyama.
7 How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
Chikondi chanu chosatha ndi chamtengowapatali! Otchuka pamodzi ndi anthu wamba pakati pa anthu amapeza pothawirapo mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
Iwo amadyerera zinthu zambiri za mʼnyumba yanu; Inu mumawapatsa chakumwa kuchokera mu mtsinje wanu wachikondwerero.
9 For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light.
Pakuti kwa Inu kuli kasupe wamoyo; mʼkuwala kwanu ifenso timaona kuwala.
10 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Pitirizani chikondi chanu pa iwo amene amakudziwani, chilungamo chanu kwa olungama mtima.
11 Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Musalole kuti phazi la wodzikuza libwere kulimbana nane, kapena dzanja la oyipa kundithamangitsa.
12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
Onani momwe ochita zoyipa agonera atagwa, aponyeni pansi, kuti asathe kudzukanso!
