Psalms 69
1 For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in even unto the soul.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Akakombo.” Pulumutseni Inu Mulungu, pakuti madzi afika mʼkhosi
2 I am sunk in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into deep waters, and the flood overwhelmeth me.
Ine ndikumira mʼthope lozama mʼmene mulibe popondapo. Ndalowa mʼmadzi ozama; mafunde andimiza.
3 I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Ndafowoka ndikupempha chithandizo; kummero kwanga kwawuma gwaa, mʼmaso mwanga mwada kuyembekezera Mulungu wanga.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are many; should I restore that which I took not away?
Iwo amene amadana nane popanda chifukwa ndi ochuluka kuposa tsitsi la kumutu kwanga; ambiri ndi adani anga popanda chifukwa, iwo amene akufunafuna kundiwononga. Ndikukakamizidwa kubwezera zomwe sindinabe.
5 O God, Thou knowest my folly; and my trespasses are not hid from Thee.
Mukudziwa uchitsiru wanga, Inu Mulungu, kulakwa kwanga sikuli kobisika kwa Inu.
6 Let not them that wait for Thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those that seek Thee be brought to confusion through me, O God of Israel.
Iwo amene amadalira Inu asanyozedwe chifukwa cha ine, Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Iwo amene amafunafuna Inu asachititsidwe manyazi chifukwa cha ine, Inu Mulungu wa Israeli.
7 Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.
Pakuti ndimapirira kunyozedwa chifukwa cha Inu, ndipo manyazi amaphimba nkhope yanga.
8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
Ndine mlendo kwa abale anga, munthu wakudza kwa ana aamuna a amayi anga;
9 Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me.
pakuti changu chochitira nyumba yanu chandiphetsa ndipo chipongwe cha iwo amene amanyoza Inu chandigwera.
10 And I wept with my soul fasting, and that became unto me a reproach.
Pamene ndikulira ndi kusala kudya, ndiyenera kupirira kunyozedwa;
11 I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them.
pomwe ndavala chiguduli, anthu amandiseweretsa.
12 They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.
Iwo amene amakhala pa chipata amandinena, ndipo ine ndine nyimbo ya zidakwa.
13 But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy salvation.
Koma ndikupempha kwa Inu Ambuye, pa nthawi yanu yondikomera mtima; mwa chikondi chanu chachikulu Inu Mulungu, mundiyankhe pondipulumutsa.
14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
Mundilanditse kuchoka mʼmatope, musalole kuti ndimire, pulumutseni ine kwa iwo amene amadana nane, kuchoka mʼmadzi ozama.
15 Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Musalole kuti chigumula chindimeze, kuya kusandimeze ndipo dzenje lisatseke pakamwa pake kundimiza.
16 Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.
Ndiyankheni Inu Yehova mwa ubwino wanu wa chikondi chanu; mwa chifundo chanu chachikulu tembenukirani kwa ine.
17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.
Musabisire nkhope yanu mtumiki wanu, ndiyankheni msanga, pakuti ndili pa mavuto.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.
Bwerani pafupi ndi kundilanditsa; ndiwomboleni chifukwa cha adani anga.
19 Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; mine adversaries are all before Thee.
Inu mukudziwa momwe ndanyozedwera, kunyozedwa ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi; adani anga onse ali pamaso panu.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; and I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
Mnyozo waswa mtima wanga ndipo wandisiya wopanda thandizo lililonse; ndinafunafuna ena woti andichitire chisoni, koma panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe woti anditonthoze, sindinapeze ndi mmodzi yemwe.
21 Yea, they put poison into my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Iwo anayika ndulu mʼchakudya changa ndi kundipatsa vinyo wosasa chifukwa cha ludzu.
22 Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
Chakudya chomwe chayikidwa patsogolo pawo chikhale msampha; chikhale chobwezera chilango ndiponso khwekhwe.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to totter.
Maso awo adetsedwe kotero kuti asaonenso ndipo misana yawo ipindike mpaka kalekale.
24 Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them.
Khuthulirani ukali wanu pa iwo; mkwiyo wanu woyaka moto uwathe mphamvu.
25 Let their encampment be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.
Malo awo akhale wopanda anthu pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe wokhala mʼmatenti awo.
26 For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; and they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded.
Pakuti iwo amazunza amene inu munamuvulaza ndi kuyankhula zowawa kwa amene munawapweteka.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity; and let them not come into Thy righteousness.
Awonjezereni kulakwa pa kulakwa kwawo, musalole kuti akhale ndi gawo pa chipulumutso chanu.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
Iwo afufutidwe mʼbuku la amoyo ndipo asalembedwe pamodzi ndi olungama.
29 But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
Ndikumva zowawa ndi kuzunzika; lolani chipulumutso chanu, Inu Mulungu, chinditeteze.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
Ine ndidzatamanda dzina la Mulungu mʼnyimbo, ndidzalemekeza Iye ndi chiyamiko.
31 And it shall please the LORD better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
Izi zidzakondweretsa Yehova kupambana ngʼombe, kupambananso ngʼombe yayimuna, pamodzi ndi nyanga ndi ziboda zake.
32 The humble shall see it, and be glad; ye that seek after God, let your heart revive.
Wosauka adzaona ndipo adzasangalala, Inu amene mumafunafuna Mulungu, mitima yanu ikhale ndi moyo!
33 For the LORD hearkeneth unto the needy, and despiseth not His prisoners.
Yehova amamvera anthu osowa ndipo sanyoza anthu ake omangidwa.
34 Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zitamanda Iye, nyanja ndi zonse zomwe zimayenda mʼmenemo,
35 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
pakuti Mulungu adzapulumutsa Ziyoni ndi kumanganso mizinda ya Yuda, anthu adzakhala kumeneko ndipo dzikolo lidzakhala lawo;
36 The seed also of His servants shall inherit it; and they that love His name shall dwell therein.
ana atumiki ake adzalitenga kukhala cholowa chawo, ndipo iwo amene amakonda dzina lake adzakhala kumeneko.
