Psalms 119
1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD.
Odala ndi amene moyo wawo ulibe cholakwa, amene amayenda monga mwa malamulo a Yehova.
2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart.
Odala ndi amene amasunga malamulo ake, amene amafunafuna Iyeyo ndi mtima wawo wonse.
3 They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.
Sachita cholakwa chilichonse; amayenda mʼnjira zake.
4 You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.
Inu mwapereka malangizo ndipo ayenera kutsatidwa kwathunthu.
5 Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!
Aa! Ndikanakonda njira zanga zikanakhala zokhazikika pa kumvera zophunzitsa zanu!
6 Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.
Pamenepo ine sindikanachititsidwa manyazi, poganizira malamulo anu onse.
7 I will praise You with an upright heart when I learn Your righteous judgments.
Ndidzakutamandani ndi mtima wolungama, pamene ndikuphunzira malamulo anu olungama.
8 I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
Ndidzamvera zophunzitsa zanu; musanditaye kwathunthu.
9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word.
Kodi mnyamata angathe bwanji kuyeretsa mayendedwe ake? Akawasamala potsata mawu anu.
10 With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments.
Ndimakufunafunani ndi mtima wanga wonse; musalole kuti ndisochere kuchoka pa malamulo anu.
11 I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.
Ndasunga mawu anu mu mtima mwanga kuti ndisakuchimwireni.
12 Blessed are You, O LORD; teach me Your statutes.
Mutamandike Inu Yehova; phunzitseni malamulo anu.
13 With my lips I proclaim all the judgments of Your mouth.
Ndi milomo yanga ndimafotokoza malamulo anu onse amene amachokera pakamwa panu.

19 I am a stranger on the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me.
Ine ndine mlendo pa dziko lapansi; musandibisire malamulo anu.
20 My soul is consumed with longing for Your judgments at all times.
Moyo wanga wafowoka polakalaka malamulo anu nthawi zonse.
21 You rebuke the arrogant— the cursed who stray from Your commandments.

22 Remove my scorn and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies.
Mundichotsere chitonzo ndi mnyozo pakuti ndimasunga malamulo anu.
23 Though rulers sit and slander me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
Ngakhale mafumu akhale pamodzi kundinyoza, mtumiki wanu adzalingalirabe zophunzitsa zanu.
24 Your testimonies are indeed my delight; they are my counselors.
Malamulo anu amandikondweretsa; ndiwo amene amandilangiza.
25 My soul cleaves to the dust; revive me according to Your word.
Moyo wanga wakangamira fumbi; tsitsimutseni molingana ndi mawu anu.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.
Ndi bwino kuti ndinasautsidwa kuti ndithe kuphunzira malamulo anu.
72 The law from Your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
Lamulo lochokera mʼkamwa mwanu limandikomera kwambiri kuposa ndalama zambirimbiri za siliva ndi golide.
73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding to learn Your commandments.
Manja anu anandilenga ndi kundiwumba; patseni nzeru zomvetsa zinthu kuti ndiphunzire malamulo anu.

83 Though I am like a wineskin dried up by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.
Ngakhale ndili ngati thumba lachikopa la vinyo pa utsi sindiyiwala zophunzitsa zanu.
84 How many days must Your servant wait? When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?
Kodi mtumiki wanu ayenera kudikira mpaka liti? Kodi mudzawalanga liti amene amandizunza?
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me in violation of Your law.
Anthu osalabadira za Mulungu, odzikuza amandikumbira dzenje motsutsana ndi malamulo anu.
86 All Your commandments are faithful; I am persecuted without cause—help me!
Malamulo anu onse ndi odalirika; thandizeni, pakuti anthu akundizunza popanda chifukwa.
87 They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken Your precepts.
Iwo anatsala pangʼono kundichotsa pa dziko lapansi koma sindinataye malangizo anu.
88 Revive me according to Your loving devotion, that I may obey the testimony of Your mouth.
Sungani moyo wanga molingana ndi chikondi chanu chosasinthika, ndipo ndidzamvera umboni wa pakamwa panu.
89 Your word, O LORD, is everlasting; it is firmly fixed in the heavens.
Mawu anu Yehova ndi amuyaya; akhazikika kumwambako.
90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures.
Kukhulupirika kwanu kumakhala mpaka ku mibado yonse; Inu munakhazikitsa dziko lapansi ndipo lilipobe.
91 Your ordinances stand to this day, for all things are servants to You.
Malamulo anu alipobe mpaka lero lino, pakuti zinthu zonse zimatumikira Inu.
92 If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction.
Malamulo anu akanapanda kukhala chikondwerero changa, ndikanawonongeka mʼmasautso anga.
93 I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me.
Ine sindidzayiwala konse malangizo anu, pakuti ndi malangizo anuwo munasunga moyo wanga.

102 I have not departed from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me.
Sindinapatuke kuchoka pa malamulo anu, pakuti Inu mwini munandiphunzitsa.

109 I constantly take my life in my hands, yet I do not forget Your law.
Ngakhale moyo wanga umakhala mʼzoopsa nthawi ndi nthawi, sindidzayiwala malamulo anu.
110 The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from Your precepts.
Anthu oyipa anditchera msampha, koma sindinasochere kuchoka pa malangizo anu.
111 Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
Umboni wanu ndiye cholowa changa kwamuyaya; Iwo ndiye chimwemwe cha mtima wanga.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes, even to the very end.
Mtima wanga wakhazikika pa kusunga zophunzitsa zanu mpaka kumapeto kwenikweni.
113 The double-minded I despise, but Your law I love.
Ndimadana ndi anthu apawiripawiri, koma ndimakonda malamulo anu.
114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I put my hope in Your word.
Inu ndinu pothawirapo panga ndi chishango changa; chiyembekezo changa chili mʼmawu anu.
115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may obey the commandments of my God.
Chokani kwa ine, inu anthu ochita zoyipa, kuti ndisunge malamulo a Mulungu wanga!
116 Sustain me as You promised, that I may live; let me not be ashamed of my hope.
Mundichirikize molingana ndi lonjezo lanu, ndipo ndidzakhala ndi moyo; musalole kuti chiyembekezo changa chipite pachabe.
117 Uphold me, and I will be saved, that I may always regard Your statutes.
Gwirizizeni, ndipo ndidzapulumutsidwa; nthawi zonse ndidzasamalira zophunzitsa zanu.
118 You reject all who stray from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is in vain.
Inu mumakana onse amene amasochera kuchoka pa zophunzitsa zanu, pakuti chinyengo chawo ndi chopanda phindu.
119 All the wicked on earth You discard like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies.
Anthu onse oyipa a pa dziko lapansi mumawayesa ngati zinthu zakudzala; nʼchifukwa chake ndimakonda umboni wanu.
120 My flesh trembles in awe of You; I stand in fear of Your judgments.
Thupi langa limanjenjemera chifukwa cha kuopa Inu; ndimachita mantha ndi malamulo anu.
121 I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.
Ndachita zolungama ndi zabwino; musandisiye mʼmanja mwa ondizunza.
122 Ensure Your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.
Onetsetsani kuti mtumiki wanu akukhala bwino, musalole kuti anthu odzikuza andipondereze.
123 My eyes fail, looking for Your salvation, and for Your righteous promise.
Maso anga alefuka, kufunafuna chipulumutso chanu, kufunafuna lonjezo lanu lolungama.

Yehova, ndi nthawi yoti muchitepo kanthu; malamulo anu akuswedwa.
127 Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, even the purest gold.
Chifukwa choti ndimakonda malamulo anu kuposa golide, kuposa golide woyengeka bwino,
128 Therefore I admire all Your precepts and hate every false way.

Imvani mawu anga molingana ndi chikondi chanu chosasinthika; Yehova sungani moyo wanga, molingana ndi malamulo anu.
150 Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law.

151 You are near, O LORD, and all Your commandments are true.
Koma Inu Yehova muli pafupi, malamulo anu onse ndi woona.

155 Salvation is far from the wicked because they do not seek Your statutes.
Chipulumutso chili kutali ndi anthu oyipa, pakuti iwowo safunafuna zophunzitsa zanu.
156 Great are Your mercies, O LORD; revive me according to Your ordinances.
Chifundo chanu Yehova nʼchachikulu; sungani moyo wanga molingana ndi malamulo anu.

163 I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law I love.
Ndimadana ndi chinyengo, kwambiri ndimanyansidwa nacho, koma ndimakonda malamulo anu.
164 Seven times a day I praise You for Your righteous judgments.
Ndimakutamandani kasanu ndi kawiri pa tsiku pakuti malamulo anu ndi olungama.
165 Abundant peace belongs to those who love Your instruction; nothing can make them stumble.
Amene amakonda malamulo anu ali ndi mtendere waukulu, ndipo palibe chimene chingawapunthwitse
166 I wait for Your salvation, O LORD, and I carry out Your commandments.
Ndikudikira chipulumutso chanu, Inu Yehova, ndipo ndimatsatira malamulo anu.
167 I obey Your testimonies and love them greatly.
Ndimamvera umboni wanu pakuti ndimawukonda kwambiri.
168 I obey Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You.
Ndimamvera malangizo anu ndi umboni wanu, pakuti njira zanga zonse ndi zodziwika pamaso panu.
169 May my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word.
Kulira kwanga kufike pamaso panu Yehova; patseni nzeru zomvetsa zinthu molingana ndi mawu anu.
170 May my plea come before You; rescue me according to Your promise.
Kupempha kwanga kufike pamaso panu; pulumutseni molingana ndi lonjezo lanu.
171 My lips pour forth praise, for You teach me Your statutes.
Matamando asefukire pa milomo yanga, pakuti Inu mumandiphunzitsa malamulo anu.
172 My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.
Lilime langa liyimbe mawu anu, popeza malamulo anu onse ndi olungama.
173 May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts.
Dzanja lanu likhale lokonzeka kundithandiza pakuti ndasankha malangizo anu.
174 I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight.
Ndikufunitsitsa chipulumutso chanu Yehova, ndipo ndimakondwera ndi malamulo anu.
175 Let me live to praise You; may Your judgments sustain me.
Loleni kuti ndikhale ndi moyo kuti ndikutamandeni, ndipo malamulo anu andichirikize.
176 I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
Ndasochera ngati nkhosa yotayika, funafunani mtumiki wanu, pakuti sindinayiwale malamulo anu.
