Psalms 79
1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, nations have come into Your inheritance, They have defiled Your holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
Salimo la Asafu. Inu Mulungu, anthu a mitundu ina alowerera mʼcholowa chanu; ayipitsa Nyumba yanu yoyera, asandutsa Yerusalemu kukhala bwinja.
2 They gave the dead bodies of Your servants [As] food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints For the wild beast 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 around Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
Akhetsa magazi monga madzi kuzungulira Yerusalemu yense, ndipo palibe wina woti ayike mʼmanda anthu akufa.
4 We have been a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
Ife ndife chinthu chonyozeka kwa anansi athu, choseketsa ndi cholalatiridwa kwa iwo amene atizungulira.
5 Until when, O YHWH? Are You angry forever? Your jealousy burns as fire.
Mpaka liti Inu Yehova? Kodi mudzakwiya mpaka muyaya? Kodi mpaka liti nsanje yanu idzayaka ngati moto?
6 Pour Your fury on the nations who have not known You, And on kingdoms that have not called on Your Name.
Khuthulirani ukali wanu pa anthu a mitundu ina amene sakudziwani Inu, pa maufumu amene sayitana pa dzina lanu;
7 For [one] has devoured Jacob, And they have made his habitation desolate.
pakuti iwo ameza Yakobo ndi kuwononga dziko lawo.
8 Do not remember for us the iniquities of forefathers, Hurry, let Your mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
Musatilange chifukwa cha machimo a makolo athu chifundo chanu chibwere msanga kukumana nafe, pakuti tili ndi chosowa chachikulu.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the glory of Your Name, And deliver us, and cover over 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 Why do the nations say, “Where [is] their God?” Let [it] be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Your servants that is shed.
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 prisoner come in before You, According to the greatness of Your arm, Leave the sons of death.
Kubuwula kwa anthu a mʼndende kufike pamaso panu; ndi mphamvu ya dzanja lanu muwasunge amene aweruzidwa kuti aphedwe.
12 And return to our neighbors, Sevenfold to their bosom, their reproach, With which they reproached You, O Lord.
Mubwezere kwa anansi athu kasanu nʼkawiri kunyoza kumene ananyoza Inu Ambuye.
13 And we, Your people, and the flock of Your pasture, We give thanks to You for all time, We recount Your praise from generation to generation!
Pamenepo ife anthu anu, nkhosa za pabusa panu, tidzakutamandani kwamuyaya, kuchokera mʼbado ndi mʼbado tidzafotokoza za matamando anu.
