Psalms 141
1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova ndikukuyitanani; bwerani msanga kwa ine. Imvani mawu anga pamene ndiyitana Inu.
2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
Pemphero langa lifike kwa Inu ngati lubani; kukweza manja kwanga kukhale ngati nsembe yamadzulo.
3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
Yehova ikani mlonda pakamwa panga; londerani khomo la pa milomo yanga.
4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
Musalole kuti mtima wanga ukokedwere ku zoyipa; kuchita ntchito zonyansa pamodzi ndi anthu amene amachita zoyipa; musalole kuti ndidye nawo zokoma zawo.
5 It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
Munthu wolungama andikanthe, chimenecho ndiye chifundo; andidzudzule ndiye mafuta pa mutu wanga. Mutu wanga sudzakana zimenezi. Komabe pemphero langa nthawi zonse ndi lotsutsana ndi ntchito za anthu ochita zoyipa.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
Olamulira awo adzaponyedwa pansi kuchokera pa malo okwera kwambiri, ndipo anthu oyipa adzaphunzira kuti mawu anga anayankhulidwa bwino.
7 Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
Iwo adzati, “Monga momwe nkhuni zimamwazikira akaziwaza, ndi momwenso mafupa athu amwazikira pa khomo la manda.” (Sheol h7585)
8 But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
Koma maso anga akupenyetsetsa Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse; ndimathawira kwa Inu, musandipereke ku imfa.
9 [It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
Mundipulumutse ku misampha imene anditchera, ku makhwekhwe amene anthu oyipa andikonzera.
10 I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
Anthu oyipa akodwe mʼmaukonde awo, mpaka ine nditadutsa mwamtendere.
