Psalms 5
1 For the chief musician; with wind instruments. A psalm of David. Listen to my call to you, Yahweh; think about my groanings.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe zoyimbira za zitoliro. Salimo la Davide. Tcherani khutu ku mawu anga, Inu Yehova, ganizirani za kusisima kwanga
2 Listen to the sound of my call, my King and my God, for it is to you that I pray.
Mverani kulira kwanga kofuna thandizo, Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga, pakuti kwa Inu, ine ndikupemphera.
3 Yahweh, in the morning you hear my cry; in the morning I will bring my petition to you and wait expectantly.
Mmawa, Yehova mumamva mawu anga; Mmawa ndimayala zopempha zanga pamaso panu ndi kudikira mwachiyembekezo.
4 Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people will not be your guests.
Inu si Mulungu amene mumasangalala ndi zoyipa; choyipa sichikhala pamaso panu.
5 The arrogant will not stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.
Onyada sangathe kuyima pamaso panu; Inu mumadana ndi onse ochita zoyipa.
6 You will destroy liars; Yahweh despises violent and deceitful men.
Mumawononga iwo amene amanena mabodza; anthu akupha ndi achinyengo, Yehova amanyansidwa nawo.
7 But as for me, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down toward your holy temple.
Koma Ine, mwa chifundo chanu chachikulu, ndidzalowa mʼNyumba yanu; mwa ulemu ndidzaweramira pansi kuyangʼana ku Nyumba yanu yoyera.
8 Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path straight before me.
Tsogolereni Inu Yehova, mwa chilungamo chanu chifukwa cha adani anga ndipo wongolani njira yanu pamaso panga.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their inward being is wicked; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.
Palibe mawu ochokera mʼkamwa mwawo amene angadalirike; mtima wawo wadzaza ndi chiwonongeko. Kummero kwawo kuli ngati manda apululu; ndi lilime lawo amayankhula zachinyengo.
10 Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
Lengezani kuti ndi olakwa, Inu Mulungu! Zochita zawo zoyipa zikhale kugwa kwawo. Achotseni pamaso panu chifukwa cha machimo awo ambiri, pakuti awukira Inu.
11 But may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.
Koma lolani kuti onse amene apeza chitetezo mwa Inu akondwere; lolani kuti aziyimba nthawi zonse chifukwa cha chimwemwe. Aphimbeni ndi chitetezo chanu, iwo amene amakonda dzina lanu akondwere mwa Inu.
12 For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh; you will surround them with favor as with a shield.
Ndithu, Inu Yehova, mumadalitsa olungama; mumawazungulira ndi kukoma mtima kwanu ngati chishango.
