Psalms 90
1 [A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.] LORD, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
Pemphero la Mose munthu wa Mulungu. Ambuye, mwakhala muli malo athu okhalamo pa mibado yonse.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
Mapiri asanabadwe, musanalenge nʼkomwe dziko lapansi ndi dziko lonse, kuyambira muyaya mpaka muyaya Inu ndinu Mulungu.
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you descendants of Adam."
Inu mumabwezera anthu ku fumbi, mumati, “Bwerera ku fumbi iwe mwana wa munthu.”
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
Pakuti zaka 1,000 pamaso panu zili ngati tsiku limene lapita kapena ngati kamphindi ka usiku.
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
Inu mumasesa anthu mʼtulo ta imfa, iwo ali ngati udzu watsopano wa mmawa,
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
ngakhale kuti mmawa umaphuka watsopano, pofika madzulo wauma ndi kufota.
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
Ife tathedwa ndi mkwiyo wanu; ndipo taopsezedwa ndi kuyipidwa kwanu.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
Mwayika mphulupulu zathu pamaso panu, machimo athu obisika poonekera pamaso panu.
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
Masiku athu onse amatha ali pansi pa ukali wanu; timatsiriza zaka zathu ndi kubuwula.
10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
Kuchuluka kwa masiku athu ndi 70, kapena 80 ngati tili ndi mphamvu; komabe zaka zonsezi ndi za mavuto ndi nkhawa, zimatha mofulumira ndipo ife timawulukira kutali.
11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
Kodi ndani amadziwa mphamvu ya mkwiyo wanu? Pakuti ukali wanu ndi waukulu ngati ulemu umene uyenera Inu.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Tiphunzitseni kuwerenga masiku athu molondola, kuti tikhale ndi mtima wanzeru.
13 Relent, LORD. How long? Have compassion on your servants.
Lezani mtima Inu Yehova! Kodi mudzatikwiyira mpaka liti? Achitireni chifundo atumiki anu.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Mutikhutitse mmawa ndi chikondi chanu chosatha, kuti tiyimbe ndi chimwemwe ndi kukhala okondwa masiku athu onse.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
Tisangalatseni masiku ambiri monga masiku amene mwatisautsa, kwa zaka zambiri monga momwe tinaonera mavuto.
16 Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.
Ntchito zanu zionetsedwe kwa atumiki anu, kukongola kwanu kwa ana awo.
17 Let the favor of the LORD our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
Kukoma mtima kwa Ambuye Mulungu wathu kukhale pa ife; tikhazikitsireni ntchito ya manja athu; inde, khazikitsani ntchito ya manja athu.
