Psalms 143
1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.
Salimo la Davide. Yehova imvani pemphero langa, mvetserani kulira kwanga kopempha chifundo; mwa kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chilungamo chanu bwerani kudzandithandiza.
2 And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
Musazenge mlandu mtumiki wanu, pakuti palibe munthu wamoyo amene ndi wolungama pamaso panu.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Mdani akundithamangitsa, iye wandipondereza pansi; wachititsa kuti ndikhale mu mdima ngati munthu amene anafa kale.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Choncho mzimu wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga; mʼkati mwanga, mtima wanga uli ndi nkhawa.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I meditate on the work of your hands.
Ndimakumbukira masiku amakedzana; ndimalingalira za ntchito yanu yonse, ndimaganizira zimene manja anu anachita.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
Ndatambalitsa manja anga kwa Inu; moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu lofuna Inu monga nthaka yowuma. (Sela)
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Yehova ndiyankheni msanga; mzimu wanga ukufowoka. Musandibisire nkhope yanu, mwina ndidzakhala ngati iwo amene atsikira ku dzenje.
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto you.
Lolani kuti mmawa ubweretse mawu achikondi chanu chosasinthika, pakuti ine ndimadalira Inu. Mundisonyeze njira yoti ndiyendemo, pakuti kwa Inu nditukulira moyo wanga.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto you to hide me.
Pulumutseni kwa adani anga, Inu Yehova, pakuti ndimabisala mwa Inu.
10 Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Phunzitseni kuchita chifuniro chanu, popeza ndinu Mulungu wanga; Mzimu wanu wabwino unditsogolere pa njira yanu yosalala.
11 Restore life in me, O LORD, for your name's sake: for your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Sungani moyo wanga Inu Yehova chifukwa cha dzina lanu; mwa chilungamo chanu tulutseni mʼmasautso anga.
12 And of your mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
Mwa chikondi chanu chosasinthika khalitsani chete adani anga; wonongani adani anga, pakuti ndine mtumiki wanu.
