Psalms 10
1 Why do you stand far off, YHWH? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
Nʼchifukwa chiyani Yehova mwayima patali? Chifukwa chiyani mukudzibisa nokha pa nthawi ya mavuto?
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
Mwa kunyada kwake munthu woyipa asaka wofowoka, amene akodwa mʼnjira zimene iye wakonza.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, and he blesses the greedy, scorning YHWH.
Iye amatamandira zokhumba za mu mtima wake; amadalitsa aumbombo ndi kuchitira chipongwe Yehova.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek. All his thoughts are "There is no God."
Mwa kunyada kwake woyipa safunafuna Mulungu; mʼmaganizo ake wonse mulibe malo a Mulungu.
5 His ways are firm at all times. Your judgments are turned aside. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
Zinthu zake zimamuyendera bwino; iye ndi wamwano ndipo malamulo anu ali nawo kutali; amanyogodola adani ake onse.
6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. From generation to generation I shall not experience calamity."
Iye amadziyankhulira kuti, “Palibe chimene chidzandigwedeze. Ndidzakhala wokondwa nthawi zonse ndipo sindidzakhala pa mavuto.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Mʼkamwa mwake mwadzaza matemberero, mabodza ndi zoopseza; zovutitsa ndi zoyipa zili pansi pa lilime lake.
8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
Iye amabisalira anthu pafupi ndi midzi, kuchokera pobisalapo amapha anthu osalakwa, amayangʼanayangʼana mwachinsinsi anthu oti awawononge.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
Amabisalira anthu ngati mkango pa zitsamba. Amabisalira kuti agwire anthu opanda mphamvu; amagwira anthu opanda mphamvu ndi kuwakokera mu ukonde wake.
10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
Anthuwo amawapondaponda ndipo amakomoka; amakhala pansi pa mphamvu zake.
11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it."
Iye amati mu mtima mwake, “Mulungu wayiwala, wabisa nkhope yake ndipo sakuonanso.”
12 Arise, YHWH. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.
Dzukani Yehova! Onetsani dzanja lanu Inu Mulungu. Musayiwale anthu opanda mphamvu.
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "You will not seek (an accounting)."
Nʼchifukwa chiyani munthu woyipa amachitira chipongwe Mulungu? Chifukwa chiyani amati mu mtima mwake, “Iye sandiyimba mlandu?”
14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
Komatu Inu Mulungu, mumazindikira mavuto ndi zosautsa, mumaganizira zochitapo kanthu. Wovutikayo amadzipereka yekha kwa Inu pakuti Inu ndi mthandizi wa ana amasiye.
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
Thyolani dzanja la woyipitsitsa ndi la munthu woyipa; muzengeni mlandu chifukwa cha zoyipa zake zimene sizikanadziwika.
16 YHWH is King forever and ever. The nations have perished from his land.
Yehova ndi Mfumu kwamuyaya; mitundu ya anthu idzawonongeka kuchoka mʼdziko lake.
17 YHWH, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
Mumamva Inu Yehova, zokhumba za osautsidwa; mumawalimbikitsa ndipo mumamva kulira kwawo.
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
Kuteteza ana amasiye ndi oponderezedwa, ndi cholinga chakuti munthu amene ali wa dziko lapansi asaopsenso.
