Psalms 88
1 A song of a Psalm for the sons of Core for the end, upon Maeleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Aeman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before you.
Salimo la ana a Kora. Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a nyimbo yoti: “Pa Matenda ndi pa Mazunzo.” Ndakatulo ya Hemani, wa banja la Ezara. Inu Yehova, Mulungu amene mumandipulumutsa, usana ndi usiku ndimalira pamaso panu.
2 Let my prayer come in before you; incline your ear to my supplication, O Lord.
Pemphero langa lifike pamaso panu; tcherani khutu lanu kuti mumve kulira kwanga.
Pakuti ndili ndi mavuto ambiri ndipo moyo wanga ukuyandikira ku manda. (Sheol h7585)
4 I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
Ndikuwerengedwa pamodzi ndi iwo amene akutsikira ku dzenje; ndine munthu wopanda mphamvu.
5 free among the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom you remember no more; and they are rejected from your hand.
Ndayikidwa pambali pamodzi ndi anthu akufa, monga ophedwa amene agona mʼmanda, amene Inu simuwakumbukiranso, amene achotsedwa pa chisamaliro chanu.
6 They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
Mwandiyika pansi pa dzenje penipeni, mʼmalo akuya a mdima waukulu.
7 Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and you have brought upon me all your billows. (Pause)
Ukali wanu ukundipsinja kwambiri, mwandiopseza kwambiri ndi mafunde anu onse. (Sela)
8 You have removed my acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves; I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.
Mwandichotsa pakati pa abwenzi anga enieni ndipo mwachititsa kuti ndikhale chonyansa kwa iwo. Ndatsekerezedwa ndipo sindingathe kuthawa;
9 Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to you, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth my hands to you.
maso anga ada ndi chisoni. Ndimayitana Inu Yehova tsiku lililonse; ndimakweza manja anga kwa Inu.
10 Will you work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise you?
Kodi mumaonetsa zozizwitsa zanu kwa anthu akufa? Kodi iwo amene afa amaukanso ndi kutamanda Inu? (Sela)
11 Shall any one declare your mercy in the tomb? and your truth in destruction?
Kodi chikondi chanu chimalalikidwa mʼmanda, za kukhulupirika kwanu ku malo a chiwonongeko?
12 Shall your wonders be known in darkness? and your righteousness in a forgotten land?
Kodi zozizwitsa zanu zimadziwika ku malo a mdima, kapena ntchito zanu zolungama ku dziko la anthu oyiwalika?
13 But I cried to you, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
Inu Yehova, Ine ndimalirira thandizo; mmawa mapemphero anga amafika pamaso panu.
14 Therefore, O Lord, do you reject my prayer, [and] turn your face away from me?
Inu Yehova nʼchifukwa chiyani mukundikana ndi kundibisira nkhope yanu?
15 I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
Kuyambira ubwana wanga ndakhala ndikuzunzika pafupi kufa; ndakhala ndikuchita mantha ndipo ndine wothedwa nzeru.
16 Your wrath has passed over me; and your terrors have greatly disquieted me.
Ukali wanu wandimiza; zoopsa zanu zandiwononga.
17 They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
Tsiku lonse zimandizungulira ngati chigumula; zandimiza kwathunthu.
18 You have put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
Inu mwatenga anzanga ndi okondedwa anga kuwachotsa pamaso panga; mdima ndiye bwenzi langa lenileni.
