Psalms 142

1 Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

Ndakatulo ya Davide, pamene iyeyo anali mʼphanga. Pemphero. Ndikulirira Yehova mofuwula; ndikukweza mawu anga kwa Yehova kupempha chifundo.

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

Ndikukhuthula madandawulo anga pamaso pake; ndikufotokoza za masautso anga pamaso pake.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

Pamene mzimu wanga walefuka mʼkati mwanga, ndinu amene mudziwa njira yanga. Mʼnjira imene ndimayendamo anthu anditchera msampha mobisa.

4 I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there was] no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

Yangʼanani kumanja kwanga ndipo onani; palibe amene akukhudzika nane. Ndilibe pothawira; palibe amene amasamala za moyo wanga.

5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my refuge [and] my portion in the land of the living.

Ndilirira Inu Yehova; ndikuti, “Ndinu pothawirapo panga, gawo langa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo.”

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Mverani kulira kwanga pakuti ndathedwa nzeru; pulumutseni kwa amene akundithamangitsa pakuti ndi amphamvu kuposa ine.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

Tulutseni mʼndende yanga kuti nditamande dzina lanu. Ndipo anthu olungama adzandizungulira chifukwa cha zabwino zanu pa ine.
