Psalms 31
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in you; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness and rescue me.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mwa Inu Yehova, ine ndimathawiramo; musalole nʼkomwe kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi; mundipulumutse chifukwa cha chilungamo chanu.
2 Incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be you to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
Tcherani khutu lanu kwa ine, bwerani msanga kudzandilanditsa; mukhale thanthwe langa lothawirapo, linga lolimba kundipulumutsa ine.
3 For you are my strength and my refuge; and you shall guide me for your name's sake, and maintain me.
Popeza Inu ndinu thanthwe langa ndi linga langa, chifukwa cha dzina lanu tsogolereni ndi kundiwongolera.
4 You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for you, O Lord, are my defender.
Ndimasuleni mu msampha umene anditchera pakuti ndinu pothawirapo panga.
5 Into your hands I will commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
Mʼmanja mwanu ndipereka mzimu wanga; womboleni Yehova Mulungu wachoonadi.
6 You has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
Koma ine ndimadana nawo amene amamamatira mafano achabechabe; ine ndimadalira Yehova.
7 I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon mine affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.
Ndidzakondwa ndi kusangalala mʼchikondi chanu popeza Inu munaona masautso anga ndipo mumadziwa kuwawa kwa moyo wanga.
8 And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.
Inu simunandipereke kwa mdani koma mwayika mapazi anga pa malo otakasuka.
9 Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
Mundichitire chifundo Inu Yehova pakuti ndili pa mavuto; maso anga akulefuka ndi chisoni, mʼmoyo mwanga ndi mʼthupi mwanga momwe mukupweteka.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
Moyo wanga ukunyeka chifukwa cha kuwawidwa mtima ndi zaka zanga chifukwa cha kubuwula; mphamvu zanga zatha chifuwa cha masautso, ndipo mafupa anga akulefuka.
11 I became a reproach amongst all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
Chifukwa cha adani anga onse, ndine wonyozeka kwambiri ndi anansi anga; ndine chochititsa manyazi kwa abwenzi anga. Iwo amene amandiona mu msewu amandithawa.
12 I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
Ine ndinayiwalika kwa iwo ngati kuti ndinamwalira; ndakhala ngati mʼphika wosweka.
13 For I heard the slander of many that lived round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.
Pakuti ine ndamva zonena zoyipa za anthu ambiri; zoopsa zandizungulira mbali zonse; iwo akukonza chiwembu kuti alimbane nane, kuti atenge moyo wanga.
14 But I hoped in you, O Lord: I said, You are my God.
Koma ndikudalira Inu Yehova; ndikunena kuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.”
15 My lots are in your hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
Masiku anga ali mʼmanja mwanu; ndipulumutseni kwa adani anga ndi kwa iwo amene akundithamangitsa.
16 and from them that persecute me. Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me in your mercy.
Walitsani nkhope yanu pa mtumiki wanu; pulumutseni mwa chikondi chanu chosatha.
17 O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon you: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
Yehova musalole kuti ndichite manyazi, pakuti ndalirira kwa Inu; koma oyipa achititsidwe manyazi ndipo agone chete mʼmanda. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.
Milomo yawo yabodzayo ikhale chete, pakuti chifukwa cha kunyada ayankhula modzikuza kutsutsana ndi wolungama.
19 How abundant is the multitude of your goodness, O Lord, which you have laid up for them that fear you! you have wrought [it] out for them that hope on you, in the presence of the sons of men.
Ndi waukulu ubwino wanu umene mwawasungira amene amakuopani, umene mumapereka anthu akuona kwa iwo amene amathawira kwa Inu.
20 You will hide them in the secret of your presence from the vexation of man: you will screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
Mu mthunzi wa pamalo popezeka panu muwabisa, kuwateteza ku ziwembu za anthu; mʼmalo anu okhalamo mumawateteza kwa anthu owatsutsa.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.
Matamando akhale kwa Yehova, pakuti anaonetsa chikondi chake chodabwitsa kwa ine pamene ndinali mu mzinda wozingidwa.
22 But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of your eyes: therefore you did listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to you.
Ndili mʼnkhawa zanga ndinati, “Ine ndachotsedwa pamaso panu!” Komabe Inu munamva kupempha chifundo kwanga pamene ndinapempha thandizo kwa Inu.
23 Love the Lord, all you his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly.
Kondani Yehova oyera mtima ake onse! Yehova amasunga wokhulupirika koma amalanga kwathunthu anthu odzikuza.
24 Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all you that hope in the Lord.
Khalani ndi nyonga ndipo limbani mtima, inu nonse amene mumayembekezera Yehova.
