< Psalms 41 >
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Wodala ndi munthu amene amaganizira anthu osauka; Yehova amamuwombola pa nthawi yamsautso.
2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
Yehova adzamuteteza ndi kusunga moyo wake; Yehova adzamudalitsa iye mʼdziko ndipo sadzamupereka ku zofuna za adani ake.
3 Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.
Yehova adzamuthandiza pamene akudwala ndipo adzamuchiritsa pa bedi lake la matenda.
4 As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Ndinati, “Inu Yehova, mundichitire chifundo; chiritseni pakuti ndakuchimwirani.”
5 Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?
Adani anga mwankhwidzi amanena za ine kuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyu adzafa liti kuti ayiwalike?”
6 And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
Pamene wina abwera kudzandiona, amayankhula mwachinyengo, pomwe mtima wake ukusonkhanitsa zachipongwe; kenaka iye amatuluka ndi kukalengeza kunja.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.
Adani anga onse amanongʼonezana pamodzi kulimbana nane, iwo amalingalira zoyipa kwambiri za ine, ponena kuti,
8 A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.
“Matenda owopsa amugwira; sadzaukapo pamalo pamene wagona.”
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
Ngakhale bwenzi langa la pamtima amene ndinamudalira, iye amene amadya pamodzi ndi ine watukula chidendene chake kulimbana nane.
10 But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Koma Yehova mundichititre chifundo, dzutseni kuti ndiwabwezere.
11 By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
Ine ndikudziwa kuti mukukondwera nane, pakuti mdani wanga sandigonjetsa.
12 But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
Mu ungwiro wanga Inu mumandisunga ndi kundiyimika pamaso panu kwamuyaya.
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.
Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli kuchokera muyaya mpaka muyaya. Ameni ndi Ameni.
