Psalms 77
1 To the Chief Musician. On "Jeduthun." Asaph’s, a Melody. With my voice—unto God, will I make outcry, With my voice unto God, and he will give ear unto me;
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Yedutuni. Salimo la Asafu. Ndinafuwulira Mulungu kupempha thandizo; ndinafuwula mokweza kwa Mulungu kuti anditcherere khutu.
2 In the day of my distress—unto My Lord, will I seek, My hand, by night, hath been outstretched and never once became slack, My soul, hath refused to be consoled;
Pamene ndinali pa masautso ndinafunafuna Ambuye; usiku ndinatambasula manja mosalekeza ndipo moyo wanga unakana kutonthozedwa.
3 I remember God and I murmur, I muse, and my spirit swooneth. (Selah)
Ndinakumbukira Inu Mulungu, ndipo ndinabuwula; ndinasinkhasinkha ndipo mzimu wanga unalefuka. (Sela)
4 Thou hast held, watching, mine eyes, I was driven to and fro, and could not speak;
Munagwira zikope zanga kuti ndisagone ndipo ndinavutika kwambiri kuti ndiyankhule.
5 I reasoned, Of the days of aforetime, Of the years of by-gone ages;
Ndinaganizira za masiku akale, zaka zamakedzana;
6 I remember my song in the night, —With my own heart, I commune, And my spirit, maketh search: —
Ndinakumbukira nyimbo zanga usiku. Mtima wanga unasinkhasinkha ndipo mzimu wanga unafunsa kuti,
7 For ages, will My Lord reject? And, not again, grant acceptance any more?
“Kodi Ambuye adzatikana mpaka muyaya? Kodi Iwo sadzaonetsanso kukoma mtima kwawo?
8 Hath his lovingkindness, come to a perpetual end? Hath his word failed to generation after generation?
Kodi Chikondi chake chosatha chija chatheratu? Kodi malonjezo ake alephera nthawi yonse?
9 Hath GOD, forgotten to show favour? Or hath he shut up, in anger, his compassions? (Selah)
Kodi Mulungu wayiwala kukhala wokoma mtima? Kodi mu mkwiyo wake waleka chifundo chake?”
10 Then said I—An affliction to me, it is, The changing of the right hand of the Most High.
Ndipo ndinaganiza, “Pa izi ine ndidzapemphanso: zaka za dzanja lamanja la Wammwambamwamba.
11 I will remember the doings of Yah, Surely I will remember, out of aforetime, thy wonderful way;
Ine ndidzakumbukira ntchito za Yehova; Ine ndidzakumbukira zodabwitsa zanu za kalekale.
12 And will talk to myself of all thy work, And, of thy doings, will I muse: —
Ndidzakumbukira ntchito zanu ndi kulingalira zodabwitsa zanu.”
13 O God, in the sanctuary, is thy way, —Who is a great GOD like Elohim?
Njira zanu Mulungu ndi zoyera. Kodi ndi mulungu uti ali wamkulu kuposa Mulungu wathu?
14 Thou, art GOD, doing wonderfully, —Thou hast made known, among the peoples, thy might;
Inu ndinu Mulungu wochita zodabwitsa; Mumaonetsera mphamvu yanu pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
15 Thou didst redeem, with thine arm—Thy people, Thy sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu munawombola anthu anu, zidzukulu za Yakobo ndi Yosefe. (Sela)
16 The waters saw thee, O God, The waters saw thee, They were in birth-throes, Yea the resounding deeps were stirred;
Madzi anakuonani Mulungu, madzi anakuonani ndipo anachita mantha; nyanja yozama inakomoka.
17 The clouds, poured down waters, The skies uttered, a voice, Yea, thine arrows, flew hither and thither;
Mitambo inakhuthula madzi ake pansi, mu mlengalenga munamveka mabingu; mivi yanu inawuluka uku ndi uku.
18 The, voice of thy thunder, was in the whirlwind, Thy lightnings illumined the world, The earth, trembled and quaked;
Bingu lanu linamveka mʼmphepo ya kamvuluvulu, mphenzi yanu inawalitsa dziko lonse; dziko lapansi linanjenjemera ndi kugwedezeka.
19 In the sea, was thy way, And, thy path, in the mighty waters, And, thy footprints, could not be known:
Njira yanu inadutsa pa nyanja, njira yanu inadutsa pa madzi amphamvu, ngakhale zidindo za mapazi anu sizinaoneke.
20 Thou didst lead, like a flock, thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Inu munatsogolera anthu anu ngati gulu la nkhosa mwa dzanja la Mose ndi Aaroni.
