Psalms 88
1 Yahweh God, you who rescues me, all during each day I call out [to you] to help me, and I cry out to you during each night also.
Salimo la ana a Kora. Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a nyimbo yoti: “Pa Matenda ndi pa Mazunzo.” Ndakatulo ya Hemani, wa banja la Ezara. Inu Yehova, Mulungu amene mumandipulumutsa, usana ndi usiku ndimalira pamaso panu.
2 Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!
Pemphero langa lifike pamaso panu; tcherani khutu lanu kuti mumve kulira kwanga.
3 I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Pakuti ndili ndi mavuto ambiri ndipo moyo wanga ukuyandikira ku manda. (Sheol h7585)
4 Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.
Ndikuwerengedwa pamodzi ndi iwo amene akutsikira ku dzenje; ndine munthu wopanda mphamvu.
5 I am like a corpse that has been abandoned; I am like dead people who lie in their graves, people who have been completely forgotten, because you do not take care of them any more.
Ndayikidwa pambali pamodzi ndi anthu akufa, monga ophedwa amene agona mʼmanda, amene Inu simuwakumbukiranso, amene achotsedwa pa chisamaliro chanu.
6 [It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.
Mwandiyika pansi pa dzenje penipeni, mʼmalo akuya a mdima waukulu.
7 [It seems like] you are very angry with me, and [it is as though] you have crushed me like [ocean] waves [crash down on people] [MET].
Ukali wanu ukundipsinja kwambiri, mwandiopseza kwambiri ndi mafunde anu onse. (Sela)
8 You have caused my friends to (avoid/stay away from) me; I have become repulsive to them. [It is as though] I am in a prison and cannot escape.
Mwandichotsa pakati pa abwenzi anga enieni ndipo mwachititsa kuti ndikhale chonyansa kwa iwo. Ndatsekerezedwa ndipo sindingathe kuthawa;
9 My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much. Yahweh, every day I call out to you [to help me]; I lift up my hands to you [while I pray].
maso anga ada ndi chisoni. Ndimayitana Inu Yehova tsiku lililonse; ndimakweza manja anga kwa Inu.
10 You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!
Kodi mumaonetsa zozizwitsa zanu kwa anthu akufa? Kodi iwo amene afa amaukanso ndi kutamanda Inu? (Sela)
11 Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us [RHQ], and in the place where people are finally destroyed, no one tells about what you faithfully [do for us] [RHQ].
Kodi chikondi chanu chimalalikidwa mʼmanda, za kukhulupirika kwanu ku malo a chiwonongeko?
12 No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform [RHQ], and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.
Kodi zozizwitsa zanu zimadziwika ku malo a mdima, kapena ntchito zanu zolungama ku dziko la anthu oyiwalika?
13 But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.
Inu Yehova, Ine ndimalirira thandizo; mmawa mapemphero anga amafika pamaso panu.
14 Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?
Inu Yehova nʼchifukwa chiyani mukundikana ndi kundibisira nkhope yanu?
15 All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died; I am (in despair/very discouraged) because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.
Kuyambira ubwana wanga ndakhala ndikuzunzika pafupi kufa; ndakhala ndikuchita mantha ndipo ndine wothedwa nzeru.
16 [I feel that] you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.
Ukali wanu wandimiza; zoopsa zanu zandiwononga.
17 [I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.
Tsiku lonse zimandizungulira ngati chigumula; zandimiza kwathunthu.
18 You have caused [even] my friends and others whom I love to avoid me, and [it is as though] the only friend that I have is darkness.
Inu mwatenga anzanga ndi okondedwa anga kuwachotsa pamaso panga; mdima ndiye bwenzi langa lenileni.
