Psalms 94
1 O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
Inu Yehova, ndinu Mulungu wobwezera chilango, Inu Mulungu amene mumabwezera chilango, wonetsani kuwala kwanu.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
Nyamukani, Inu woweruza wa dziko lapansi; bwezerani kwa odzikuza zowayenera.
3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Kodi mpaka liti anthu oyipa Inu Yehova, mpaka liti anthu oyipa adzalumpha ndi chimwemwe?
4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Amakhuthula mawu onyada; onse ochita zoyipa ndi odzaza ndi kudzikuza.
5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
Amaphwanya anthu anu, Inu Yehova; amapondereza cholowa chanu.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
Amaphanso amayi a masiye ndi alendo okhala nawo mʼdziko; amapha ana amasiye.
7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
Iwo amati, “Yehova sakuona; Mulungu wa Yakobo salabadirako.”
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
Samalani, inu anthu opanda nzeru pakati pa anthu; zitsiru inu, kodi mudzakhala liti anzeru?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Kodi Iye amene anapanga khutu sangathe kumva? Kodi Iye amene anapanga diso sangathe kuona?
10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
Kodi Iye amene amalangiza mitundu ya anthu sangathenso kulanga? Kodi Iye amene amaphunzitsa munthu angasowe nzeru?
11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Yehova amadziwa maganizo a munthu; Iye amadziwa kuti maganizowo ndi achabechabe.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
Wodala munthu amene Inu Yehova mumamulangiza, munthu amene mumamuphunzitsa kuchokera mulamulo lanu;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
mumamupumitsa pa nthawi ya mavuto, mpaka woyipa atakumbiridwa dzenje.
14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
Pakuti Yehova sadzawakana anthu ake; Iye sadzasiya cholowa chake.
15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Chiweruzo chidzakhazikikanso pa chilungamo, ndipo onse olungama mtima adzachitsata.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
Ndani adzadzuka chifukwa cha ine kulimbana ndi anthu oyipa? Ndani adzayimirira mʼmalo mwanga kulimbana ndi anthu ochita zoyipa?
17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
Yehova akanapanda kundithandiza, bwenzi nditakakhala msanga ku malo achete a imfa.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
Ndikanena kuti, “Phazi langa likuterereka,” chikondi chanu, Inu Yehova, chimandichirikiza.
19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
Pamene nkhawa inakula mʼkati mwanga, chitonthozo chanu chinabweretsa chimwemwe mʼmoyo mwanga.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
Kodi mpando waufumu woyipa ungathe kugwirizana nanu umene umabweretsa masautso chifukwa cha malamulo ake?
21 They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
Iwo amasonkhana pamodzi kulimbana ndi wolungama ndi kugamula kuti wosalakwa aphedwe.
22 But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
Koma Yehova wakhala linga langa, ndipo Mulungu ndiye thanthwe limene ndimathawirako.
23 And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
Iye adzawabwezera chifukwa cha machimo awo ndi kuwawononga chifukwa cha kuyipa kwawo; Yehova Mulungu wathu adzawawononga.
