Psalms 79
1 A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
Salimo la Asafu. Inu Mulungu, anthu a mitundu ina alowerera mʼcholowa chanu; ayipitsa Nyumba yanu yoyera, asandutsa Yerusalemu kukhala bwinja.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth.
Iwo anapereka mitembo ya atumiki anu kwa mbalame zamlengalenga ngati chakudya, matupi a oyera mtima anu kwa zirombo za dziko lapansi.
3 They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them].
Akhetsa magazi monga madzi kuzungulira Yerusalemu yense, ndipo palibe wina woti ayike mʼmanda anthu akufa.
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.
Ife ndife chinthu chonyozeka kwa anansi athu, choseketsa ndi cholalatiridwa kwa iwo amene atizungulira.
5 How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
Mpaka liti Inu Yehova? Kodi mudzakwiya mpaka muyaya? Kodi mpaka liti nsanje yanu idzayaka ngati moto?
6 Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon your name.
Khuthulirani ukali wanu pa anthu a mitundu ina amene sakudziwani Inu, pa maufumu amene sayitana pa dzina lanu;
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.
pakuti iwo ameza Yakobo ndi kuwononga dziko lawo.
8 Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
Musatilange chifukwa cha machimo a makolo athu chifundo chanu chibwere msanga kukumana nafe, pakuti tili ndi chosowa chachikulu.
9 Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake.
Tithandizeni Inu Mulungu Mpulumutsi wathu, chifukwa cha ulemerero wa dzina lanu; tipulumutseni ndi kutikhululukira machimo athu chifukwa cha dzina lanu.
10 Lets haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of your servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.
Chifukwa chiyani anthu a mitundu ina akuti, “Ali kuti Mulungu wawo?” Ife tikuona, zidziwike pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kuti mumabwezera chilango chifukwa cha magazi amene anakhetsedwa a atumiki anu.
11 Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
Kubuwula kwa anthu a mʼndende kufike pamaso panu; ndi mphamvu ya dzanja lanu muwasunge amene aweruzidwa kuti aphedwe.
12 Repay to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
Mubwezere kwa anansi athu kasanu nʼkawiri kunyoza kumene ananyoza Inu Ambuye.
13 For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture; we will give you thanks for ever; we will declare your praise throughout all generations.
Pamenepo ife anthu anu, nkhosa za pabusa panu, tidzakutamandani kwamuyaya, kuchokera mʼbado ndi mʼbado tidzafotokoza za matamando anu.
