Psalms 74
1 A Psalme to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe of thy pasture?
Ndakatulo ya Asafu. Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwatitaya ife kwamuyaya, Inu Mulungu? Chifukwa chiyani mkwiyo wanu ukutukutira pa nkhosa za busa lanu?
2 Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Kumbukirani anthu amene munawagula kalekale, fuko la cholowa chanu, limene Inu munaliwombola, phiri la Ziyoni, kumene inuyo mumakhala.
3 Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
Tembenuzani mapazi kuloza ku mabwinja awa amuyaya chiwonongeko ichi chonse mdani wabweretsa pa malo opatulika.
4 Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
Adani anu anabangula pa malo pamene Inu munkakumana nafe; anayimika mbendera zawo monga zizindikiro zachigonjetso.
5 He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
Iwo anachita ngati anthu oti anyamula mbendera zawo kuti adule mitengo mʼnkhalango.
6 But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
Kenaka anaphwanya ndi nkhwangwa ndi akasemasema awo zonse zimene tinapachika.
7 They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
Iwo anatentha malo anu opatulika mpaka kuwagwetsa pansi; anadetsa malo okhalamo dzina lanu.
8 They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God in the land.
Ndipo anati mʼmitima yawo, “Tawatha kwathunthu.” Anatentha malo aliwonse amene Mulungu amapembedzedwerako mʼdzikomo.
9 We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.
Ife sitinapatsidwe chizindikiro chodabwitsa; palibe aneneri amene atsala ndipo palibe aliyense wa ife akudziwa kuti izi zidzatenga nthawi yayitali bwanji.
10 O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
Kodi mpaka liti, mdani adzanyoze Inu Mulungu? Kodi amaliwongowa adzapeputsa dzina lanu kwamuyaya?
11 Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
Chifukwa chiyani mukubweza dzanja lanu lamanja? Litulutseni kuchoka pachifuwa chanu ndipo muwawononge!
12 Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
Koma Inu Mulungu, ndinu Mfumu yanga kuyambira kalekale; Mumabweretsa chipulumutso pa dziko lapansi.
13 Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Ndinu amene munagawa nyanja ndi mphamvu yanu; munathyola mitu ya zirombo za mʼmadzi.
14 Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
Ndinu amene munaphwanya mitu ya Leviyatani ndi kuyipereka ngati chakudya cha zirombo za mʼchipululu.
15 Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
Ndinu amene munatsekula akasupe ndi mitsinje, munawumitsa mitsinje imene siphwa nthawi zonse.
16 The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
Masana ndi anu ndipo usiku ndi wanunso; Inuyo munakhazikitsa dzuwa ndi mwezi.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Ndinu amene munakhazikitsa malire onse a dziko lapansi; munakhazikitsa chilimwe ndi dzinja.
18 Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
Kumbukirani momwe mdani wakunyozerani Inu Yehova, momwe anthu opusa apeputsira dzina lanu.
19 Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
Musapereke moyo wa nkhunda yanu ku zirombo zakuthengo; nthawi zonse musayiwale miyoyo ya anthu anu osautsidwa.
20 Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
Mukumbukire pangano lanu, pakuti malo obisika a mʼdziko asanduka mochitira zachiwawa zochuluka.
21 Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
Musalole kuti osautsidwa abwerere mwamanyazi; osauka ndi osowa atamande dzina lanu.
22 Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
Dzukani Inu Mulungu ndipo dzitetezeni pa mlandu; kumbukirani momwe opusa akukunyozerani tsiku lonse.
23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
Musalekerere phokoso la otsutsana nanu, chiwawa cha adani anu, chimene chikumveka kosalekeza.
