Psalms 77
1 For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to God; I cried aloud to God to hear me.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Yedutuni. Salimo la Asafu. Ndinafuwulira Mulungu kupempha thandizo; ndinafuwula mokweza kwa Mulungu kuti anditcherere khutu.
2 In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.
Pamene ndinali pa masautso ndinafunafuna Ambuye; usiku ndinatambasula manja mosalekeza ndipo moyo wanga unakana kutonthozedwa.
3 I remembered You, O God, and I groaned; I mused and my spirit grew faint.
Ndinakumbukira Inu Mulungu, ndipo ndinabuwula; ndinasinkhasinkha ndipo mzimu wanga unalefuka. (Sela)
4 You have kept my eyes from closing; I am too troubled to speak.
Munagwira zikope zanga kuti ndisagone ndipo ndinavutika kwambiri kuti ndiyankhule.
5 I considered the days of old, the years long in the past.
Ndinaganizira za masiku akale, zaka zamakedzana;
6 At night I remembered my song; in my heart I mused, and my spirit pondered:
Ndinakumbukira nyimbo zanga usiku. Mtima wanga unasinkhasinkha ndipo mzimu wanga unafunsa kuti,
7 “Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?
“Kodi Ambuye adzatikana mpaka muyaya? Kodi Iwo sadzaonetsanso kukoma mtima kwawo?
8 Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?
Kodi Chikondi chake chosatha chija chatheratu? Kodi malonjezo ake alephera nthawi yonse?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?”
Kodi Mulungu wayiwala kukhala wokoma mtima? Kodi mu mkwiyo wake waleka chifundo chake?”
10 So I said, “I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”
Ndipo ndinaganiza, “Pa izi ine ndidzapemphanso: zaka za dzanja lamanja la Wammwambamwamba.
11 I will remember the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old.
Ine ndidzakumbukira ntchito za Yehova; Ine ndidzakumbukira zodabwitsa zanu za kalekale.
12 I will reflect on all You have done and ponder Your mighty deeds.
Ndidzakumbukira ntchito zanu ndi kulingalira zodabwitsa zanu.”
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
Njira zanu Mulungu ndi zoyera. Kodi ndi mulungu uti ali wamkulu kuposa Mulungu wathu?
14 You are the God who works wonders; You display Your strength among the peoples.
Inu ndinu Mulungu wochita zodabwitsa; Mumaonetsera mphamvu yanu pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
15 With power You redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
Ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu munawombola anthu anu, zidzukulu za Yakobo ndi Yosefe. (Sela)
16 The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.
Madzi anakuonani Mulungu, madzi anakuonani ndipo anachita mantha; nyanja yozama inakomoka.
17 The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.
Mitambo inakhuthula madzi ake pansi, mu mlengalenga munamveka mabingu; mivi yanu inawuluka uku ndi uku.
18 Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
Bingu lanu linamveka mʼmphepo ya kamvuluvulu, mphenzi yanu inawalitsa dziko lonse; dziko lapansi linanjenjemera ndi kugwedezeka.
19 Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.
Njira yanu inadutsa pa nyanja, njira yanu inadutsa pa madzi amphamvu, ngakhale zidindo za mapazi anu sizinaoneke.
20 You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Inu munatsogolera anthu anu ngati gulu la nkhosa mwa dzanja la Mose ndi Aaroni.
