Psalms 129

1 A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. “Andizunza kwambiri kuyambira ubwana wanga,” anene tsono Israeli;

2 Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.

“Andizunza kwambiri kuyambira ubwana wanga, koma sanandipambane.

3 The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.

Anthu otipula analima pa msana panga ndipo anapangapo mizere yayitali:

4 The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.

Koma Yehova ndi wolungama; Iye wandimasula ku zingwe za anthu oyipa.”

5 Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.

Onse amene amadana ndi Ziyoni abwezedwe pambuyo mwamanyazi.

6 Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.

Akhale ngati udzu womera pa denga la nyumba, umene umafota usanakule;

7 Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.

sungadzaze manja a owumweta kapena manja a omanga mitolo.

8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

Odutsa pafupi asanene kuti, “Dalitso la Yehova lili pa inu; tikukudalitsani mʼdzina la Yehova.”
