Psalms 31
1 A psalm of David. For the music director. Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't let me ever be humiliated. Save me, because you always do what is right.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mwa Inu Yehova, ine ndimathawiramo; musalole nʼkomwe kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi; mundipulumutse chifukwa cha chilungamo chanu.
2 Please listen to me, and be quick to rescue me. Be my rock of protection, my strong fortress of safety.
Tcherani khutu lanu kwa ine, bwerani msanga kudzandilanditsa; mukhale thanthwe langa lothawirapo, linga lolimba kundipulumutsa ine.
3 You are my rock and my fortress. For the sake of your reputation, please lead me and guide me.
Popeza Inu ndinu thanthwe langa ndi linga langa, chifukwa cha dzina lanu tsogolereni ndi kundiwongolera.
4 Help me escape from the hidden net that they set to trap me, for you are the one who protects me.
Ndimasuleni mu msampha umene anditchera pakuti ndinu pothawirapo panga.
5 I put myself in your hands. Save me, Lord, for you are a trustworthy God.
Mʼmanja mwanu ndipereka mzimu wanga; womboleni Yehova Mulungu wachoonadi.
6 I hate those who devote themselves to pointless idols; I trust in the Lord.
Koma ine ndimadana nawo amene amamamatira mafano achabechabe; ine ndimadalira Yehova.
7 I will celebrate, happy in your love that never fails, for you have seen the problems I face and have paid attention to my troubles.
Ndidzakondwa ndi kusangalala mʼchikondi chanu popeza Inu munaona masautso anga ndipo mumadziwa kuwawa kwa moyo wanga.
8 You haven't handed me over to my enemies; you have set me free.
Inu simunandipereke kwa mdani koma mwayika mapazi anga pa malo otakasuka.
9 Be kind to me Lord, for I am upset. I can hardly see from so much crying. I am completely wasting away.
Mundichitire chifundo Inu Yehova pakuti ndili pa mavuto; maso anga akulefuka ndi chisoni, mʼmoyo mwanga ndi mʼthupi mwanga momwe mukupweteka.
10 Grief is killing me; my life is cut short by sadness; I am falling apart because of my troubles; I am worn to the bone.
Moyo wanga ukunyeka chifukwa cha kuwawidwa mtima ndi zaka zanga chifukwa cha kubuwula; mphamvu zanga zatha chifuwa cha masautso, ndipo mafupa anga akulefuka.
11 I am ridiculed by my enemies, particularly by my neighbors. My friends dread meeting me; people who see me in the street run the other way.
Chifukwa cha adani anga onse, ndine wonyozeka kwambiri ndi anansi anga; ndine chochititsa manyazi kwa abwenzi anga. Iwo amene amandiona mu msewu amandithawa.
12 I have been forgotten as if I were dead; I'm ignored like a broken pot.
Ine ndinayiwalika kwa iwo ngati kuti ndinamwalira; ndakhala ngati mʼphika wosweka.
13 I hear many people whispering about me; terror surrounds me. They plot together against me, planning to kill me.
Pakuti ine ndamva zonena zoyipa za anthu ambiri; zoopsa zandizungulira mbali zonse; iwo akukonza chiwembu kuti alimbane nane, kuti atenge moyo wanga.
14 But I put my trust in you, Lord, saying, “You are my God!”
Koma ndikudalira Inu Yehova; ndikunena kuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.”
15 My whole life is in your hands! Save me from those who hate me and persecute me!
Masiku anga ali mʼmanja mwanu; ndipulumutseni kwa adani anga ndi kwa iwo amene akundithamangitsa.
16 May you look kindly on me, your servant. Save me because of your trustworthy love.
Walitsani nkhope yanu pa mtumiki wanu; pulumutseni mwa chikondi chanu chosatha.
17 Lord, don't let me be disgraced, for I'm calling out to you. Instead let the wicked be disgraced, let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Yehova musalole kuti ndichite manyazi, pakuti ndalirira kwa Inu; koma oyipa achititsidwe manyazi ndipo agone chete mʼmanda. (Sheol h7585)
18 Shut the mouths of those who tell lies against good people—those who speak contemptuously in their pride and arrogance!
Milomo yawo yabodzayo ikhale chete, pakuti chifukwa cha kunyada ayankhula modzikuza kutsutsana ndi wolungama.
19 How wonderful is the goodness you have reserved for those who honor you! In front of everyone you give this goodness to those who come to you for help.
Ndi waukulu ubwino wanu umene mwawasungira amene amakuopani, umene mumapereka anthu akuona kwa iwo amene amathawira kwa Inu.
20 You shelter and protect them with your presence, far from their enemies who scheme against them. You keep them safe from attacks and accusations.
Mu mthunzi wa pamalo popezeka panu muwabisa, kuwateteza ku ziwembu za anthu; mʼmalo anu okhalamo mumawateteza kwa anthu owatsutsa.
21 Bless the Lord, for he has shown me his wonderful trustworthy love when my city was being attacked
Matamando akhale kwa Yehova, pakuti anaonetsa chikondi chake chodabwitsa kwa ine pamene ndinali mu mzinda wozingidwa.
22 Terrified I cried out, “I am being destroyed right in front of you!” But you heard my cry when I called out for you to help me.
Ndili mʼnkhawa zanga ndinati, “Ine ndachotsedwa pamaso panu!” Komabe Inu munamva kupempha chifundo kwanga pamene ndinapempha thandizo kwa Inu.
23 Love the Lord, all you who trust in him! The Lord takes care of those who trust him, but he pays back in full those who are arrogant.
Kondani Yehova oyera mtima ake onse! Yehova amasunga wokhulupirika koma amalanga kwathunthu anthu odzikuza.
24 Be strong and be confident, all you who put your hope in the Lord.
Khalani ndi nyonga ndipo limbani mtima, inu nonse amene mumayembekezera Yehova.
