Psalms 22
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Monga mwa “Mbawala yayikazi ya Mmawa.” Salimo la Davide. Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandisiya? Chifuwa chiyani simukundithandiza ndi pangʼono pomwe? Nʼchifukwa chiyani simukumva mawu a kudandaula kwanga?
2 I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
Inu Mulungu wanga, ine ndimalira masana, koma simuyankha, usikunso, ndipo sindikhala chete.
3 Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
Inu ndinu Woyera, wokhala pa mpando waufumu; ndinu matamando a Israeli.
4 In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.
Pa inu makolo athu anadalira; iwo anadalira ndipo Inu munawapulumutsa.
5 They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
Analirira kwa inu ndipo munawapulumutsa. Iwo anakhulupirira Inu ndipo simunawakhumudwitse.
6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
Koma ine ndine nyongolotsi osati munthu, wosekedwa ndi wonyozedwa ndi anthu onse.
7 All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
Onse amene amandiona amandiseka; amandiyankhulira mawu achipongwe akupukusa mitu yawo kunena kuti
8 “He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
“Iyeyu amadalira Yehova, musiyeni Yehovayo amulanditse. Musiyeni Yehova amupulumutse popeza amakondwera mwa Yehovayo.”
9 Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
Komabe Inu ndinu amene munandibadwitsa, munanditulutsa mʼmimba mwa amayi anga. Munachititsa kuti ndizikudalirani ngakhale pa nthawi imene ndinkayamwa.
10 From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
Chibadwire ine ndinaperekedwa kwa Inu; kuchokera mʼmimba mwa amayi anga Inu mwakhala muli Mulungu wanga.
11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
Musakhale kutali ndi ine, pakuti mavuto ali pafupi ndipo palibe wina wondipulumutsa.
12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
Ngʼombe zazimuna zandizungulira; ngʼombe zazimuna zamphamvu za ku Basani zandizinga.
13 They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
Mikango yobangula pokadzula nyama, yatsekula kwambiri pakamwa pawo kulimbana nane.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.
Ine ndatayika pansi ngati madzi ndipo mafupa anga onse achoka mʼmalo mwake. Mtima wanga wasanduka phula; wasungunuka mʼkati mwanga.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.
Mphamvu zanga zauma ngati phale, ndipo lilime langa lamamatira ku nsagwada; mwandigoneka mʼfumbi la imfa.
16 For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.
Agalu andizungulira; gulu la anthu oyipa landizinga. Alasa manja ndi mapazi anga.
17 I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.
Ine nditha kuwerenga mafupa anga onse; anthu amandiyangʼanitsitsa ndi kundidzuma.
18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
Iwo agawana zovala zanga pakati pawo ndi kuchita maere pa zovala zangazo.
19 But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
Koma Inu Yehova, musakhale kutali; Inu mphamvu yanga, bwerani msanga kuti mudzandithandize.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.
Pulumutsani moyo wanga ku lupanga, moyo wanga wopambanawu ku mphamvu ya agalu.
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
Ndilanditseni mʼkamwa mwa mikango; pulumutseni ku nyanga za njati.
22 I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.
Ine ndidzalengeza dzina lanu kwa abale anga; ndidzakutamandani mu msonkhano.
23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
Inu amene mumaopa Yehova mutamandeni! Inu zidzukulu zonse za Yakobo, mulemekezeni! Muopeni mwaulemu, inu zidzukulu zonse za Israeli!
24 For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
Pakuti Iye sanapeputse kapena kunyoza kuvutika kwa wosautsidwayo; Iye sanabise nkhope yake kwa iye. Koma anamvera kulira kwake kofuna thandizo.
25 My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
Ndidzakutamandani pa msonkhano waukulu chifukwa cha zimene mwandichitira. Ndidzakwaniritsa lonjezo langa pamaso pa amene amaopa Inu.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!
Osauka adzadya ndipo adzakhuta; iwo amene amafunafuna Yehova adzamutamanda. Mitima yanu ikhale ndi moyo mpaka muyaya!
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.
Malekezero onse a dziko lapansi adzakumbukira Yehova ndi kutembenukira kwa Iye, ndipo mabanja a mitundu ya anthu adzawerama pamaso pake,
28 For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.
pakuti ulamuliro ndi wake wa Yehova ndipo Iye amalamulira anthu a mitundu yonse.
29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him— even those unable to preserve their lives.
Anthu olemera onse a dziko lapansi adzachita phwando ndi kulambira; onse amene amapita ku fumbi adzagwada pamaso pake; iwo amene sangathe kudzisunga okha ndi moyo.
30 Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.
Zidzukulu zamʼtsogolo zidzamutumikira Iye; mibado ya mʼtsogolo idzawuzidwa za Ambuye.
31 They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn— all that He has done.
Iwo adzalengeza za chilungamo chake kwa anthu amene pano sanabadwe pakuti Iye wachita zimenezi.
