Psalms 35
1 Yahweh, fight against those who fight against me! Fight against [my enemies] when they fight me!
Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mulimbane nawo amene akulimbana nane; mumenyane nawo amene akumenyana nane.
2 Be [like] a shield [DOU] to protect me and come to help me!
Tengani chishango ndi lihawo; dzukani ndipo bwerani mundithandize.
3 Lift up your spear [DOU] and [throw it] at those who pursue me! Promise me that you will enable me to defeat [my enemies].
Tengani mkondo ndi nthungo, kulimbana ndi iwo amene akundithamangitsa. Uzani moyo wanga kuti, “Ine ndine chipulumutso chako.”
4 Cause those who are trying to kill me to be defeated and disgraced! Cause those who are planning to do evil things to me to be pushed back and become confused!
Iwo amene akufunafuna moyo wanga anyozedwe ndi kuchita manyazi; iwo amene akukonza kuti moyo wanga uwonongeke abwerere mʼmbuyo mochititsa mantha.
5 Send your angel to pursue them, and as a result cause them to disappear like chaff/straw blown away by the wind!
Akhale ngati mankhusu owuluka ndi mphepo pamene mngelo wa Yehova akuwapirikitsa.
6 Cause the path on which they run to be dark and slippery as your angel pursues them!
Njira yawo ikhale ya mdima ndi yoterera pamene mngelo wa Yehova akuwathamangitsa.
7 Although I did not do anything wrong to them, they concealed a deep pit for me to fall into; they hid a net in which they would catch me.
Popeza ananditchera ukonde popanda chifukwa ndipo popanda chifukwa andikumbira dzenje,
8 Cause them to suddenly experience disaster! Cause them to be trapped in their own nets! Cause them to fall into the pits that they have dug for me and disappear!
chiwonongeko chiwapeza modzidzimutsa ukonde umene iwo abisa uwakole, agwere mʼdzenje kuti awonongedwe.
9 Then I will be joyful about what you, Yahweh, have done for me, I will be glad that you have rescued me.
Pamenepo moyo wanga udzakondwera mwa Yehova ndi kusangalala ndi chipulumutso chake.
10 With my whole inner being [SYN] I will say, “There is no one like Yahweh [RHQ]! No one else can rescue helpless people from powerful people [RHQ]. No one else can rescue weak and needy people from those who want to rob them.”
Thupi langa lidzafuwula mokondwera, “Ndani angafanane nanu Yehova? Mumalanditsa osauka kwa amene ali ndi mphamvu zambiri, osauka ndi osowa kwa iwo amene amawalanda.”
11 People who tell lies stand in court and falsely accuse me of doing things that I do not know [anything] about.
Mboni zopanda chisoni zinayimirira, zinandifunsa zinthu zimene sindikuzidziwa.
12 In return for my doing good things for them, they do evil things to me, with the result that I feel that I am alone.
Iwo anandibwezera zoyipa pa zabwino ndipo anasiya moyo wanga pa chisoni.
13 When they were ill, I showed that I was sad. I did not eat any food, and I bowed my head as I prayed [for them].
Koma pamene iwo ankadwala, ine ndinavala chiguduli ndi kudzichepetsa ndekha posala zakudya. Pamene mapemphero anga anabwerera kwa ine osayankhidwa,
14 I mourned and bowed my head as I prayed as though it was a friend or my mother for whom I was grieving.
ndinayendayenda ndi kulira maliro, kumulira ngati bwenzi langa kapena mʼbale wanga. Ndinaweramitsa mutu wanga mosweka mtima kukhala ngati ndikulira amayi anga.
15 But when I had troubles, they were all happy about it. They gathered around to make fun of me. Strangers struck me, and they would not stop.
Koma pamene ndinaphunthwa, iwo anasonkhana mosangalala; ondithira nkhondo anasonkhana kutsutsana nane, ineyo osadziwa. Iwo sanasiye kundiyankhulira mawu onyoza.
16 Worthless people ridicule me and snarl at me.
Monga anthu osapembedza, iwo anandinyoza mwachipongwe; anandikukutira mano awo.
17 Yahweh, how long will you only watch them doing this? Rescue me from their attacking me; Save me from being killed by these men who are attacking me like [MET] lions [that are attacking other animals]
Ambuye, mpaka liti mudzakhala mukungoyangʼana? Landitsani moyo wanga ku chiwonongeko chawo, moyo wanga wopambana ku mikango.
18 Then, when many of your people gather, I will praise you and I will thank you in front of all of them.
Ndidzakuyamikani mu msonkhano waukulu; pakati pa gulu lalikulu la anthu ndidzakutamandani.
19 Do not allow my enemies, who tell lies about me, defeat me and then rejoice! Do not allow those who hate me when there in no reason to hate me to (smirk/smile happily)!
Musalole adani anga onyenga akondwere chifukwa cha masautso anga; musalole kuti amene amadana nane popanda chifukwa andiyangʼane chamʼmbali mondinyoza.
20 They do not talk peacefully to people; instead, they seek ways to tell lies about people who are peaceful.
Iwowo sayankhula mwamtendere, koma amaganizira zonamizira iwo amene amakhala mwabata mʼdziko.
21 They shout at me, to accuse me, saying, “We saw the wrong things that you did!”
Iwo amandiseka mofuwula ndipo amati, “Haa! Haa! Ndipo ndi maso athuwa ife taziona.”
22 Yahweh, you have seen these things, so do not be silent! Do not stay far from me!
Yehova mwaona zimenezi; musakhale chete. Ambuye musakhale kutali ndi ine.
23 Arise, my God, and plead my case in court, and successfully defend me!
Dzukani, ndipo nyamukani kunditeteza! Mulimbane nawo chifukwa cha ine, Mulungu wanga ndi Ambuye anga.
24 Yahweh, my God, because you are righteous, prove that I am innocent in order that my enemies will not be able to gloat [that I was judged to be guilty].
Onetsani kusalakwa kwanga mwa chilungamo chanu, Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga. Musalole kuti akondwere chifukwa cha mavuto anga.
25 Do not allow them to be able to say to themselves, “Yes, we have gotten rid of him [IDM] just like we desired!”
Musalole kuti aganize kuti, “Amati atani, zachitika monga momwe timafunira!” Kapena kunena kuti, “Tamutha ameneyu basi.”
26 Cause those who rejoice about my misfortunes to be completely defeated and disgraced; cause those who boast that they are much greater than me to be disgraced and dishonored!
Onse amene amakondwera ndi masautso anga achite manyazi ndi kusokonezeka. Onse amene amadzikweza kufuna kundipambana, avekedwe manyazi ndi mnyozo ngati zovala.
27 But cause those who desire that I be acquitted to be happy and shout joyfully, and cause them to continually say, “Yahweh is great! He is delighted to cause things to go well for those who serve him.”
Koma amene amakondwera chifukwa chakuti ndine wosalakwa, afuwule mwachimwemwe ndi chisangalalo. Nthawi zonse azinena kuti, “Yehova akwezeke, Iye amene amakondwera ndi kupeza bwino kwa mtumiki wake.”
28 Then I will proclaim that you act righteously, and I will praise you all day long.
Pakamwa panga padzayankhula za chilungamo chanu ndi za matamando anu tsiku lonse.
