Psalms 37
1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity.
Salimo la Davide. Usamavutike chifukwa cha anthu oyipa kapena kuchitira nsanje amene akuchita cholakwa;
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
pakuti monga udzu iwo adzafota msanga, ngati mbewu zobiriwira adzanyala msanga.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and truly you shall be fed.
Khulupirira Yehova ndipo uzichita zabwino; khazikika mʼdziko ndi kutsata zokhulupirika.
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires of your heart.
Udzikondweretse wekha mwa Yehova ndipo Iye adzakupatsa zokhumba za mtima wako.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Pereka njira yako kwa Yehova; dalira Iye ndipo Iyeyo adzachita izi:
6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noonday.
Iye adzachititsa chilungamo chako kuwala ngati mʼbandakucha, chiweruzo chako ngati dzuwa la masana.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
Khala chete pamaso pa Yehova ndipo umudikire mofatsa; usavutike pamene anthu apambana mʼnjira zawo, pamene iwo achita zinthu zawo zoyipa.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil.
Pewa kupsa mtima ndipo tembenuka kuchoka ku ukali, usavutike chifukwa zimenezi zimatsogolera ku zoyipa.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Pakuti anthu oyipa adzachotsedwa, koma iwo amene amayembekeza mwa Yehova adzalandira dziko.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yes, you shall diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
Kwa kanthawi oyipa sadzapezekanso; ngakhale muwafunefune, sadzapezekanso.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Koma ofatsa adzalandira dziko ndipo adzasangalala ndi mtendere waukulu.
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes on him with his teeth.
Oyipa amakonza chiwembu kutsutsana ndi olungama ndipo amawakukutira mano;
13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming.
koma Ambuye amaseka oyipa pakuti Iye amadziwa kuti tsiku lawo likubwera.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
Oyipa amasolola lupanga ndi kupinda uta kugwetsa osauka ndi osowa, kupha iwo amene njira zawo ndi zolungama.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Koma malupanga awo analasa mitima yawo yomwe, ndipo mauta awo anathyoka.
16 A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.
Zabwino zochepa zimene olungama ali nazo ziposa chuma cha anthu oyipa ambiri;
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholds the righteous.
pakuti mphamvu ya oyipa idzasweka, koma Yehova amasunga olungama.
18 The LORD knows the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Masiku a anthu osalakwa amadziwika ndi Yehova, ndipo cholowa chawo chidzakhala mpaka muyaya.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Pa nthawi ya mavuto iwo sadzafota; mʼmasiku a njala adzakhala ndi zinthu zambiri.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
Koma oyipa adzawonongeka; adani a Yehova adzakhala ngati kukongola kwa kuthengo, iwo adzazimirira ngati utsi.
21 The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.
Oyipa amabwereka ndipo sabweza koma olungama amapereka mowolowamanja.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
Iwo amene Yehova amawadalitsa adzalandira dziko, koma amene Iye amawatemberera adzachotsedwa.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way.
Ngati Yehova akondwera ndi njira ya munthu, amakhazikitsa mayendedwe ake;
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
ngakhale atapunthwa sadzagwa, pakuti Yehova amamutchinjiriza ndi dzanja lake.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Ine ndinali wamngʼono ndipo tsopano ndakalamba koma sindinaonepo olungama akusiyidwa kapena ana awo akupempha chakudya.
26 He is ever merciful, and lends; and his seed is blessed.
Iwo ndi owolowamanja nthawi zonse ndipo amabwereketsa mwaufulu; ana awo adzadalitsika.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever more.
Tembenuka kuchoka ku zoyipa ndipo chita zabwino; pamenepo udzakhazikika mʼdziko kwamuyaya.
28 For the LORD loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Pakuti Yehova amakonda wolungama ndipo sadzasiya okhulupirika ake. Iwo adzatetezedwa kwamuyaya, koma zidzukulu za oyipa zidzachotsedwa;
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
olungama adzalandira dziko ndipo adzakhazikikamo kwamuyaya.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgment.
Pakamwa pa munthu wolungama pamayankhula za nzeru, ndipo lilime lake limayankhula zolungama.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Lamulo la Mulungu wake lili mu mtima mwake; mapazi ake saterereka.
32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
Oyipa amabisala kudikira olungama; kufunafuna miyoyo yawoyo;
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
koma Yehova sadzawasiya pansi pa mphamvu yawo kapena kuti atsutsidwe pamene abweretsedwa pa milandu.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
Khulupirira Yehova, ndipo sunga njira yake; Iye adzakukweza ndipo udzalandira dziko kuti likhale lako; udzaona anthu oyipa akuwonongeka.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
Ine ndinaona munthu woyipa ndi munthu wopanda chifundo akupeza bwino ngati mtengo wobiriwira pa nthaka ya makolo ake.
36 Yet he passed away, and, see, he was not: yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Koma sanachedwe kumwalira ndipo sanaonekenso; ngakhale ndinamuyangʼanayangʼana, sanapezekenso.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
Ganizira za munthu wosalakwa, yangʼanitsitsa munthu wolungama; udzaona kuti ali ndi tsogolo labwino ndipo ali ndi zidzukulu zambiri.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Koma anthu ochimwa adzawonongeka; iwowo pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zawo zomwe.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Chipulumutso cha olungama chimachokera kwa Yehova; Iye ndiye linga lawo pa nthawi ya masautso.
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
Yehova amawathandiza ndi kuwalanditsa; Iye amawalanditsa kwa oyipa ndi kuwapulumutsa, pakuti amathawira kwa Iye.
