Psalms 42
1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Ndakatulo ya ana a Kora. Monga mbawala ipuma wefuwefu kufunafuna mitsinje yamadzi, kotero moyo wanga upuma wefuwefu kufunafuna Inu Mulungu.
2 My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?
Moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu lofuna Mulungu, lofuna Mulungu wamoyo. Kodi ndipite liti kukakumana ndi Mulungu?
3 My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”
Misozi yanga yakhala chakudya changa usana ndi usiku, pamene anthu akunena kwa ine tsiku lonse kuti, “Mulungu wako ali kuti?”
4 These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.
Zinthu izi ndimazikumbukira pamene ndikukhuthula moyo wanga: momwe ndinkapitira ndi gulu lalikulu, kutsogolera mayendedwe a ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi mfuwu yachimwemwe ndi mayamiko pakati pa anthu a pa chikondwerero.
5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.
Nʼchifukwa chiyani uli ndi chisoni, iwe moyo wanga? Nʼchifukwa chiyani wakhumudwa iwe mʼkati mwanga? Yembekezera Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamulambirabe, Mpulumutsi wanga ndi
6 O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon— even from Mount Mizar.
Mulungu wanga. Moyo wanga uli ndi chisoni mʼkati mwanga kotero ndidzakumbukira Inu kuchokera ku dziko la Yorodani, ku mitunda ya Herimoni kuchokera ku phiri la Mizara.
7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.
Madzi akuya akuyitana madzi akuya mu mkokomo wa mathithi anu; mafunde anu onse obwera mwamphamvu andimiza.
8 The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.
Koma usana Yehova amalamulira chikondi chake, nthawi ya usiku nyimbo yake ili nane; pemphero kwa Mulungu wa moyo wanga.
9 I say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?”
Ine ndikuti kwa Mulungu Thanthwe langa, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandiyiwala? Nʼchifukwa chiyani ndiyenera kuyenda ndikulira, woponderezedwa ndi mdani?”
10 Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me, while they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
Mafupa anga ali ndi ululu wakufa nawo pamene adani anga akundinyoza, tsiku lonse akunena kuti, “Mulungu wako ali kuti?”
11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
Bwanji ukumva chisoni, iwe mtima wanga? Chifukwa chiyani ukuvutika chonchi mʼkati mwanga? Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamutamandanso, Iye amene ali thandizo langa ndi Mulungu wanga.
