Psalms 26
1 A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.
Salimo la Davide. Weruzeni Inu Yehova pakuti ndakhala moyo wosalakwa. Ndadalira Yehova popanda kugwedezeka.
2 Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.
Patseni mayeso, Inu Yehova ndipo ndiyeseni, santhulani mtima wanga ndi maganizo anga;
3 For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.
pakuti chikondi chanu chili pamaso panga nthawi zonse, ndipo ndimayenda mʼchoonadi chanu nthawi zonse.
4 I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.
Ine sindikhala pansi pamodzi ndi anthu achinyengo, kapena kufunsa nzeru kwa achiphamaso.
5 I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.
Ndimanyansidwa ndi msonkhano wa anthu ochita zoyipa ndipo ndimakana kukhala pansi pamodzi ndi oyipa.
6 I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,
Ndimasamba mʼmanja mwanga kuonetsa kusalakwa kwanga ndi kupita kukatumikira pa guwa lanu la nsembe, Inu Yehova,
7 singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.
kulengeza mofuwula za matamando anu ndi kuwuza onse za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa.
8 Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.
Ndimakonda Nyumba imene Inu Yehova mumakhalamo, malo amene ulemerero wanu umapezekako.
9 Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,
Musachotse moyo wanga pamodzi ndi ochimwa, moyo wanga pamodzi ndi anthu akupha anzawo,
10 whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.
amene mʼmanja mwawo muli ndondomeko zoyipa, dzanja lawo lamanja ladzaza ndi ziphuphu.
11 For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!
Koma ine ndimakhala moyo wosalakwa; mu msonkhano wa anthu anu ndidzatamanda Yehova.
12 I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
Ndayima pa malo wopanda zovuta ndipo ndidzatamanda Yehova mu msonkhano waukulu.
