Psalms 90
1 A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast bene our habitation from generation to generation.
Pemphero la Mose munthu wa Mulungu. Ambuye, mwakhala muli malo athu okhalamo pa mibado yonse.
2 Before the mountaines were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art our God.
Mapiri asanabadwe, musanalenge nʼkomwe dziko lapansi ndi dziko lonse, kuyambira muyaya mpaka muyaya Inu ndinu Mulungu.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction: againe thou sayest, Returne, ye sonnes of Adam.
Inu mumabwezera anthu ku fumbi, mumati, “Bwerera ku fumbi iwe mwana wa munthu.”
4 For a thousande yeeres in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Pakuti zaka 1,000 pamaso panu zili ngati tsiku limene lapita kapena ngati kamphindi ka usiku.
5 Thou hast ouerflowed them: they are as a sleepe: in the morning he groweth like the grasse:
Inu mumasesa anthu mʼtulo ta imfa, iwo ali ngati udzu watsopano wa mmawa,
6 In the morning it florisheth and groweth, but in the euening it is cut downe and withereth.
ngakhale kuti mmawa umaphuka watsopano, pofika madzulo wauma ndi kufota.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Ife tathedwa ndi mkwiyo wanu; ndipo taopsezedwa ndi kuyipidwa kwanu.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.
Mwayika mphulupulu zathu pamaso panu, machimo athu obisika poonekera pamaso panu.
9 For all our dayes are past in thine anger: we haue spent our yeeres as a thought.
Masiku athu onse amatha ali pansi pa ukali wanu; timatsiriza zaka zathu ndi kubuwula.
10 The time of our life is threescore yeeres and ten, and if they be of strength, fourescore yeeres: yet their strength is but labour and sorowe: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
Kuchuluka kwa masiku athu ndi 70, kapena 80 ngati tili ndi mphamvu; komabe zaka zonsezi ndi za mavuto ndi nkhawa, zimatha mofulumira ndipo ife timawulukira kutali.
11 Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy feare is thine anger.
Kodi ndani amadziwa mphamvu ya mkwiyo wanu? Pakuti ukali wanu ndi waukulu ngati ulemu umene uyenera Inu.
12 Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.
Tiphunzitseni kuwerenga masiku athu molondola, kuti tikhale ndi mtima wanzeru.
13 Returne (O Lord, howe long?) and be pacified toward thy seruants.
Lezani mtima Inu Yehova! Kodi mudzatikwiyira mpaka liti? Achitireni chifundo atumiki anu.
14 Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.
Mutikhutitse mmawa ndi chikondi chanu chosatha, kuti tiyimbe ndi chimwemwe ndi kukhala okondwa masiku athu onse.
15 Comfort vs according to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs, and according to the yeeres that we haue seene euill.
Tisangalatseni masiku ambiri monga masiku amene mwatisautsa, kwa zaka zambiri monga momwe tinaonera mavuto.
16 Let thy worke bee seene towarde thy seruants, and thy glory vpon their children.
Ntchito zanu zionetsedwe kwa atumiki anu, kukongola kwanu kwa ana awo.
17 And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, and direct thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, euen direct the worke of our handes.
Kukoma mtima kwa Ambuye Mulungu wathu kukhale pa ife; tikhazikitsireni ntchito ya manja athu; inde, khazikitsani ntchito ya manja athu.
