Psalms 7
1 The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
Sigioni wa Davide, amene anayimbira Yehova zokhudza Kusi, wa fuko la Benjamini. Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, Ine ndikuthawira kwa Inu; pulumutseni ndi kundilanditsa kwa onse amene akundithamangitsa,
2 Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
mwina angandikadzule ngati mkango, ndi kundingʼamba popanda wondipulumutsa.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:
Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, ngati ndachita izi ndipo ndapezeka wolakwa,
4 If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
ngati ndachita zoyipa kwa iye amene ndili naye pa mtendere, kapena popanda chifukwa ndalanda mdani wanga,
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
pamenepo lolani adani anga andithamangitse ndi kundipitirira, lolani kuti moyo wanga aupondereze pansi ndipo mundigoneke pa fumbi. (Sela)
6 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:
Nyamukani Yehova, mu mkwiyo wanu; nyamukani kutsutsana ndi mkwiyo wa adani anga. Dzukani Mulungu wanga, lamulirani chilungamo chanu.
7 And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.
Lolani gulu la anthu a mitundu ina lisonkhane mokuzungulirani. Alamulireni muli kumwambako;
8 The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
Yehova aweruzeni anthu a mitundu inayo. Ndiweruzeni Yehova, monga mwa chilungamo changa, monga mwa moyo wanga wangwiro, Inu Wammwambamwamba.
9 The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
Inu Mulungu wolungama, amene mumasanthula maganizo ndi mitima, thetsani chiwawa cha anthu oyipa ndipo wolungama akhale motetezedwa.
10 Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.
Chishango changa ndi Mulungu Wammwambamwamba, amene amapulumutsa olungama mtima.
11 God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
Mulungu amaweruza molungama, Mulungu amene amaonetsa ukali wake tsiku ndi tsiku.
12 Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
Ngati munthu satembenuka, Mulungu adzanola lupanga lake, Iye adzawerama ndi kukoka uta.
13 And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
Mulungu wakonza zida zake zoopsa; Iye wakonzekera mivi yake yoyaka moto.
14 Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
Taonani, munthu woyipa amalingalira zoyipa zokhazokha nthawi zonse. Zochita zake ndi zosokoneza ndi zovutitsa anthu ena.
15 He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
Iye amene akumba dzenje ndi kulizamitsa amagwera mʼdzenje limene wakumbalo.
16 His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
Mavuto amene amayambitsa amamubwerera mwini; chiwawa chake chimatsikira pa mutu wake womwe.
17 I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
Ine ndidzayamika Yehova chifukwa cha chilungamo chake; ndipo ndidzayimba nyimbo zamatamando pa dzina la Yehova Wammwambamwamba.
