Psalms 102
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah. Jehovah, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto thee.
Pemphero la munthu wosautsidwa, pamene walefuka, nakhuthulira pamaso pa Yehova kulira kwakeko. Yehova imvani pemphero langa; kulira kwanga kopempha thandizo kufike kwa Inu.
2 Hide not thy face from me: in the day of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me; in the day I call, answer me speedily.
Musandibisire nkhope yanu pamene ndili pa msautso. Munditcherere khutu; pamene ndiyitana ndiyankheni msanga.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.
Pakuti masiku anga akupita ngati utsi; mafupa anga akunyeka ngati nkhuni zoyaka.
4 My heart is smitten and withered like grass; yea, I have forgotten to eat my bread.
Mtima wanga wakanthidwa ndipo ukufota ngati udzu; ndipo ndimayiwala kudya chakudya changa.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my flesh.
Chifukwa cha kubuwula kwanga kofuwula ndatsala chikopa ndi mafupa okhaokha.
6 I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places;
Ndili ngati kadzidzi wa ku chipululu, monga kadzidzi pakati pa mabwinja.
7 I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
Ndimagona osapeza tulo; ndakhala ngati mbalame yokhala yokha pa denga.
8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.
Tsiku lonse adani anga amandichita chipongwe; iwo amene amandinyoza, amagwiritsa ntchito dzina langa ngati temberero.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
Pakuti ndimadya phulusa ngati chakudya changa ndi kusakaniza chakumwa changa ndi misozi
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
chifukwa cha ukali wanu waukulu, popeza Inu mwandinyamula ndi kunditayira kumbali.
11 My days are like a lengthened-out shadow, and I, I am withered like grass.
Masiku anga ali ngati mthunzi wa kumadzulo; Ine ndikufota ngati udzu.
12 But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.
Koma Inu Yehova, muli pa mpando wanu waufumu kwamuyaya; kudziwika kwanu ndi kokhazikika ku mibado yonse.
13 Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.
Inu mudzadzuka ndi kuchitira chifundo Ziyoni pakuti ndi nthawi yoti muonetse kukoma mtima kwanu pa iyeyo; nthawi yoyikika yafika.
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.
Pakuti miyala yake ndi yokondedwa kwa atumiki anu; fumbi lake lokha limawachititsa kuti amve chisoni.
15 And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
Mitundu ya anthu idzaopa dzina la Yehova, mafumu onse a dziko lapansi adzalemekeza ulemerero wanu.
16 When Jehovah shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.
Pakuti Yehova adzamanganso Ziyoni ndi kuonekera mu ulemerero wake.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute one, and not despise their prayer.
Iye adzayankha pemphero la anthu otayika; sadzanyoza kupempha kwawo.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:
Zimenezi zilembedwe chifukwa cha mibado ya mʼtsogolo, kuti anthu amene sanabadwe adzatamande Yehova:
19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth,
“Yehova anayangʼana pansi kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika mmwamba, kuchokera kumwamba anayangʼana dziko lapansi,
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;
kuti amve kubuwula kwa anthu a mʼndende, kuti apulumutse amene anayenera kuphedwa.”
21 That the name of Jehovah may be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
Kotero dzina la Yehova lidzalengezedwa mu Ziyoni ndi matamando ake mu Yerusalemu,
22 When the peoples shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
pamene mitundu ya anthu ndi maufumu adzasonkhana kuti alambire Yehova.
23 He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.
Iye anathyola mphamvu zanga pa nthawi ya moyo wanga; Iyeyo anafupikitsa masiku anga.
24 I said, My God, take me not away in the midst of my days! ...Thy years are from generation to generation.
Choncho Ine ndinati: “Musandichotse, Inu Mulungu wanga, pakati pa masiku a moyo wanga; zaka zanu zimakhalabe pa mibado yonse.
25 Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:
Pachiyambi Inu munakhazikitsa maziko a dziko lapansi ndipo mayiko akumwamba ndi ntchito ya manja anu.
26 They shall perish, but thou continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
Izi zidzatha, koma Inu mudzakhalapo; zidzatha ngati chovala. Mudzazisintha ngati chovala ndipo zidzatayidwa.
27 But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.
Koma Inu simusintha, ndipo zaka zanu sizidzatha.
28 The children of thy servants shall abide, and their seed shall be established before thee.
Ana a atumiki anu adzakhala pamaso panu; zidzukulu zawo zidzakhazikika pamaso panu.”
