Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me: Fight thou against them that fight against me.
Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mulimbane nawo amene akulimbana nane; mumenyane nawo amene akumenyana nane.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help.
Tengani chishango ndi lihawo; dzukani ndipo bwerani mundithandize.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
Tengani mkondo ndi nthungo, kulimbana ndi iwo amene akundithamangitsa. Uzani moyo wanga kuti, “Ine ndine chipulumutso chako.”
4 Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul: Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.
Iwo amene akufunafuna moyo wanga anyozedwe ndi kuchita manyazi; iwo amene akukonza kuti moyo wanga uwonongeke abwerere mʼmbuyo mochititsa mantha.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of Jehovah driving [them] on.
Akhale ngati mankhusu owuluka ndi mphepo pamene mngelo wa Yehova akuwapirikitsa.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.
Njira yawo ikhale ya mdima ndi yoterera pamene mngelo wa Yehova akuwathamangitsa.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit; Without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul.
Popeza ananditchera ukonde popanda chifukwa ndipo popanda chifukwa andikumbira dzenje,
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein.
chiwonongeko chiwapeza modzidzimutsa ukonde umene iwo abisa uwakole, agwere mʼdzenje kuti awonongedwe.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah: It shall rejoice in his salvation.
Pamenepo moyo wanga udzakondwera mwa Yehova ndi kusangalala ndi chipulumutso chake.
10 All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?
Thupi langa lidzafuwula mokondwera, “Ndani angafanane nanu Yehova? Mumalanditsa osauka kwa amene ali ndi mphamvu zambiri, osauka ndi osowa kwa iwo amene amawalanda.”
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.
Mboni zopanda chisoni zinayimirira, zinandifunsa zinthu zimene sindikuzidziwa.
12 They reward me evil for good, [To] the bereaving of my soul.
Iwo anandibwezera zoyipa pa zabwino ndipo anasiya moyo wanga pa chisoni.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; And my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Koma pamene iwo ankadwala, ine ndinavala chiguduli ndi kudzichepetsa ndekha posala zakudya. Pamene mapemphero anga anabwerera kwa ine osayankhidwa,
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.
ndinayendayenda ndi kulira maliro, kumulira ngati bwenzi langa kapena mʼbale wanga. Ndinaweramitsa mutu wanga mosweka mtima kukhala ngati ndikulira amayi anga.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: The abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; They did tear me, and ceased not:
Koma pamene ndinaphunthwa, iwo anasonkhana mosangalala; ondithira nkhondo anasonkhana kutsutsana nane, ineyo osadziwa. Iwo sanasiye kundiyankhulira mawu onyoza.
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Monga anthu osapembedza, iwo anandinyoza mwachipongwe; anandikukutira mano awo.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, My darling from the lions.
Ambuye, mpaka liti mudzakhala mukungoyangʼana? Landitsani moyo wanga ku chiwonongeko chawo, moyo wanga wopambana ku mikango.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great assembly: I will praise thee among much people.
Ndidzakuyamikani mu msonkhano waukulu; pakati pa gulu lalikulu la anthu ndidzakutamandani.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Musalole adani anga onyenga akondwere chifukwa cha masautso anga; musalole kuti amene amadana nane popanda chifukwa andiyangʼane chamʼmbali mondinyoza.
20 For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.
Iwowo sayankhula mwamtendere, koma amaganizira zonamizira iwo amene amakhala mwabata mʼdziko.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
Iwo amandiseka mofuwula ndipo amati, “Haa! Haa! Ndipo ndi maso athuwa ife taziona.”
22 Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
Yehova mwaona zimenezi; musakhale chete. Ambuye musakhale kutali ndi ine.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice [due] unto me, [Even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Dzukani, ndipo nyamukani kunditeteza! Mulimbane nawo chifukwa cha ine, Mulungu wanga ndi Ambuye anga.
24 Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.
Onetsani kusalakwa kwanga mwa chilungamo chanu, Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga. Musalole kuti akondwere chifukwa cha mavuto anga.
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Musalole kuti aganize kuti, “Amati atani, zachitika monga momwe timafunira!” Kapena kunena kuti, “Tamutha ameneyu basi.”
26 Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt: Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
Onse amene amakondwera ndi masautso anga achite manyazi ndi kusokonezeka. Onse amene amadzikweza kufuna kundipambana, avekedwe manyazi ndi mnyozo ngati zovala.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Koma amene amakondwera chifukwa chakuti ndine wosalakwa, afuwule mwachimwemwe ndi chisangalalo. Nthawi zonse azinena kuti, “Yehova akwezeke, Iye amene amakondwera ndi kupeza bwino kwa mtumiki wake.”
28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness [And] of thy praise all the day long.
Pakamwa panga padzayankhula za chilungamo chanu ndi za matamando anu tsiku lonse.
