< Psalms 41 >
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Wodala ndi munthu amene amaganizira anthu osauka; Yehova amamuwombola pa nthawi yamsautso.
2 The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.
Yehova adzamuteteza ndi kusunga moyo wake; Yehova adzamudalitsa iye mʼdziko ndipo sadzamupereka ku zofuna za adani ake.
3 The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.
Yehova adzamuthandiza pamene akudwala ndipo adzamuchiritsa pa bedi lake la matenda.
4 I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
Ndinati, “Inu Yehova, mundichitire chifundo; chiritseni pakuti ndakuchimwirani.”
5 My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
Adani anga mwankhwidzi amanena za ine kuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyu adzafa liti kuti ayiwalike?”
6 My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.
Pamene wina abwera kudzandiona, amayankhula mwachinyengo, pomwe mtima wake ukusonkhanitsa zachipongwe; kenaka iye amatuluka ndi kukalengeza kunja.
7 All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:
Adani anga onse amanongʼonezana pamodzi kulimbana nane, iwo amalingalira zoyipa kwambiri za ine, ponena kuti,
8 “A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”
“Matenda owopsa amugwira; sadzaukapo pamalo pamene wagona.”
9 Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Ngakhale bwenzi langa la pamtima amene ndinamudalira, iye amene amadya pamodzi ndi ine watukula chidendene chake kulimbana nane.
10 But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.
Koma Yehova mundichititre chifundo, dzutseni kuti ndiwabwezere.
11 By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
Ine ndikudziwa kuti mukukondwera nane, pakuti mdani wanga sandigonjetsa.
12 In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
Mu ungwiro wanga Inu mumandisunga ndi kundiyimika pamaso panu kwamuyaya.
13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli kuchokera muyaya mpaka muyaya. Ameni ndi Ameni.
