Psalms 36
1 To the chief music-maker. Of the servant of the Lord. Of David. The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide, mtumiki wa Yehova. Uthenga uli mu mtima mwanga wonena za kuchimwa kwa munthu woyipa: Mu mtima mwake mulibe kuopa Mulungu.
2 For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.
Pakuti iye mʼkuona kwake amadzinyenga yekha kwambiri, sazindikira kapena kudana ndi tchimo lake.
3 In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.
Mawu a pakamwa pake ndi oyipa ndi achinyengo; iyeyo waleka kukhala wanzeru ndi kuchita zabwino.
4 He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.
Ngakhale ali pa bedi pake amakonzekera zoyipa; iye amadzipereka yekha ku njira ya uchimo ndipo sakana cholakwa chilichonse.
5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.
Chikondi chanu Yehova, chimafika ku mayiko a kumwamba, kukhulupirika kwanu mpaka ku mitambo.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.
Chilungamo chanu Mulungu chili ngati mapiri aakulu, chiweruzo chanu chili ngati kuzama kwakukulu. Yehova mumasunga munthu pamodzi ndi chinyama.
7 How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.
Chikondi chanu chosatha ndi chamtengowapatali! Otchuka pamodzi ndi anthu wamba pakati pa anthu amapeza pothawirapo mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu.
8 The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.
Iwo amadyerera zinthu zambiri za mʼnyumba yanu; Inu mumawapatsa chakumwa kuchokera mu mtsinje wanu wachikondwerero.
9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.
Pakuti kwa Inu kuli kasupe wamoyo; mʼkuwala kwanu ifenso timaona kuwala.
10 O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Pitirizani chikondi chanu pa iwo amene amakudziwani, chilungamo chanu kwa olungama mtima.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.
Musalole kuti phazi la wodzikuza libwere kulimbana nane, kapena dzanja la oyipa kundithamangitsa.
12 There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.
Onani momwe ochita zoyipa agonera atagwa, aponyeni pansi, kuti asathe kudzukanso!
