Psalms 71
1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
Mwa Inu Yehova ine ndathawiramo; musalole kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi.
2 In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
Mundilanditse ndi kundipulumutsa mwa chilungamo chanu, mutchere khutu lanu ndi kundipulumutsa.
3 Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
Mukhale thanthwe langa lothawirapo, kumene ine nditha kupita nthawi zonse; lamulani kuti ndipulumuke, pakuti Inu ndinu thanthwe langa ndi linga langa.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
Landitseni Inu Mulungu wanga, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa, kuchoka mʼdzanja la oyipa ndi anthu ankhanza.
5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
Pakuti Inu mwakhala chiyembekezo changa, Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, chilimbikitso changa kuyambira ndili mwana.
6 I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
Kuyambira pamene ndinabadwa, ndakhala ndikudalira Inu; Inu munanditulutsa mʼmimba mwa amayi anga, ndipo ndidzakupembedzani nthawi zonse.
7 I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
Ine ndakhala chinthu chodabwitsa kwa anthu ambiri koma Inu ndinu wonditchinjiriza wamphamvu.
8 My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
Pakamwa panga padzaza ndi matamando anu, kulengeza ulemerero wanu tsiku lonse.
9 Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Musanditaye pamene ndakalamba; musandisiye pamene mphamvu zanga zatha.
10 For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
Pakuti adani anga ayankhula motsutsana nane; iwo amene amadikira kuti andiphe amapangana pamodzi.
11 saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
Iwo amati, “Mulungu wamusiya; mutsatireni ndi kumugwira, pakuti palibe amene adzamupulumutse.”
12 Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
Musakhale kutali ndi ine Inu Mulungu, bwerani msanga, Inu Mulungu wanga; thandizeni.
13 May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
Ondineneza anga awonongeke mwa manyazi, iwo amene akufuna kundipweteka avale chitonzo ndi manyazi.
14 But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
Koma ine ndidzakhala ndi chiyembekezo mwa Inu nthawi zonse, ndidzakutamandani mowirikizawirikiza.
15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
Pakamwa panga padzafotokoza za chilungamo chanu, za chipulumutso chanu tsiku lonse, ngakhale sindikudziwa muyeso wake.
16 I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
Ndidzabwera ndi kulengeza za machitidwe amphamvu zanu Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Ndidzalengeza chilungamo chanu, chanu chokha.
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
Kuyambira ubwana wanga, Inu Mulungu mwakhala mukundiphunzitsa, ndipo mpaka lero ine ndikulengeza za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa
18 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
Ngakhale pamene ndakalamba ndipo imvi zili mbuu musanditaye Inu Mulungu, mpaka nditalengeza mphamvu zanu kwa mibado yonse yakutsogolo.
19 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
Mphamvu zanu ndi kulungama kwanu zimafika mpaka kumwambamwamba. Ndani wofanana nanu Inu Mulungu, amene mwachita zazikulu?
20 Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
Ngakhale mwandionetsa mavuto ambiri owawa, mudzabwezeretsanso moyo wanga; kuchokera kunsi kwa dziko lapansi, mudzandiukitsanso.
21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
Inu mudzachulukitsa ulemu wanga ndi kunditonthozanso.
22 So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
Ndidzakutamandani ndi zeze chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwanu Mulungu, ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu ndi pangwe, Inu Woyera wa Israeli.
23 When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
Milomo yanga idzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene ndidzayimba matamando kwa Inu amene mwandiwombola.
24 My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
Lilime langa lidzafotokoza za ntchito zanu zachilungamo tsiku lonse, pakuti iwo amene amafuna kundipweteka achititsidwa manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa.
