Psalms 40
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. I Waited paciently for the Lord, and he inclined vnto me, and heard my cry.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mofatsa ndinadikira Yehova Iye anatembenukira kwa ine ndipo anamva kulira kwanga.
2 Hee brought mee also out of the horrible pit, out of the myrie clay, and set my feete vpon the rocke, and ordered my goings.
Ananditulutsa mʼdzenje lachitayiko, mʼthope ndi mʼchithaphwi; Iye anakhazikitsa mapazi anga pa thanthwe ndipo anandipatsa malo oyimapo olimba.
3 And he hath put in my mouth a new song of praise vnto our God: many shall see it and feare, and shall trust in the Lord.
Iye anayika nyimbo yatsopano mʼkamwa mwanga, nyimbo yamatamando kwa Mulungu wanga. Ambiri adzaona, nadzaopa ndipo adzakhulupirira Yehova.
4 Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and regardeth not the proude, nor such as turne aside to lyes.
Ndi wodala munthu amakhulupirira Yehova; amene sayembekezera kwa odzikuza, kapena kwa amene amatembenukira kwa milungu yabodza.
5 O Lord my God, thou hast made thy wonderfull workes so many, that none can count in order to thee thy thoughts toward vs: I would declare, and speake of them, but they are moe then I am able to expresse.
Zambiri, Yehova Mulungu wanga, ndi zodabwitsa zimene Inu mwachita. Zinthu zimene munazikonzera ife palibe amene angathe kukuwerengerani. Nditati ndiyankhule ndi kufotokozera, zidzakhala zambiri kuzifotokoza.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didest not desire: (for mine eares hast thou prepared) burnt offring and sinne offering hast thou not required.
Nsembe ndi zopereka Inu simuzifuna, koma makutu anga mwawatsekula; zopereka zopsereza ndi zopereka chifukwa cha tchimo Inu simunazipemphe.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: for in the rolle of the booke it is written of me,
Kotero ndinati, “Ndili pano, ndabwera. Mʼbuku mwalembedwa za ine.
8 I desired to doe thy good will, O my God: yea, thy Lawe is within mine heart.
Ndikufuna kuchita chifuniro chanu, Inu Mulungu wanga; lamulo lanu lili mu mtima mwanga.”
9 I haue declared thy righteousnesse in the great Congregation: loe, I will not refraine my lippes: O Lord, thou knowest.
Ndikulalikira uthenga wa chilungamo chanu mu msonkhano waukulu; sinditseka milomo yanga monga mukudziwa Inu Yehova.
10 I haue not hidde thy righteousnesse within mine heart, but I haue declared thy trueth and thy saluation: I haue not conceiled thy mercy and thy trueth from the great Congregation.
Sindibisa chilungamo chanu mu mtima mwanga; ndinayankhula za kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chipulumutso chanu. Ine sindiphimba chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu pa msonkhano waukulu.
11 Withdrawe not thou thy tender mercie from mee, O Lord: let thy mercie and thy trueth alway preserue me.
Musandichotsere chifundo chanu Yehova; chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu zinditeteze nthawi zonse.
12 For innumerable troubles haue compassed mee: my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon me, that I am not able to looke vp: yea, they are moe in nomber then the heares of mine head: therefore mine heart hath failed me.
Pakuti mavuto osawerengeka andizungulira; machimo anga andigonjetsa, ndipo sindingathe kuona. Alipo ambiri kuposa tsitsi la mʼmutu mwanga, ndipo mtima wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga.
13 Let it please thee, O Lord, to deliuer mee: make haste, O Lord, to helpe me.
Pulumutseni Yehova; Bwerani msanga Yehova kudzandithandiza.
14 Let them be confounded and put to shame together, that seeke my soule to destroye it: let them be driuen backward and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.
Onse amene akufunafuna kuchotsa moyo wanga achititsidwe manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa; onse amene amakhumba chiwonongeko changa abwezedwe mwamanyazi.
15 Let them be destroyed for a rewarde of their shame, which say vnto me, Aha, aha.
Iwo amene amanena kwa ine kuti, “Hee! Hee!” abwerere akuchita manyazi.
16 Let all them, that seeke thee, reioyce and be glad in thee: and let them, that loue thy saluation, say alway, The Lord be praysed.
Koma iwo amene amafunafuna Inu akondwere ndi kusangalala mwa Inu; iwo amene amakonda chipulumutso chanu nthawi zonse anene kuti, “Yehova akwezeke!”
17 Though I be poore and needie, the Lord thinketh on mee: thou art mine helper and my deliuerer: my God, make no tarying.
Komabe Ine ndine wosauka ndi wosowa; Ambuye andiganizire. Inu ndinu thandizo langa ndi wondiwombola wanga; Inu Mulungu wanga, musachedwe.
