< Psalms 41 >
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Wodala ndi munthu amene amaganizira anthu osauka; Yehova amamuwombola pa nthawi yamsautso.
2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
Yehova adzamuteteza ndi kusunga moyo wake; Yehova adzamudalitsa iye mʼdziko ndipo sadzamupereka ku zofuna za adani ake.
3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
Yehova adzamuthandiza pamene akudwala ndipo adzamuchiritsa pa bedi lake la matenda.
4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Ndinati, “Inu Yehova, mundichitire chifundo; chiritseni pakuti ndakuchimwirani.”
5 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
Adani anga mwankhwidzi amanena za ine kuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyu adzafa liti kuti ayiwalike?”
6 And if he cometh to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
Pamene wina abwera kudzandiona, amayankhula mwachinyengo, pomwe mtima wake ukusonkhanitsa zachipongwe; kenaka iye amatuluka ndi kukalengeza kunja.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
Adani anga onse amanongʼonezana pamodzi kulimbana nane, iwo amalingalira zoyipa kwambiri za ine, ponena kuti,
8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast to him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise no more.
“Matenda owopsa amugwira; sadzaukapo pamalo pamene wagona.”
9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
Ngakhale bwenzi langa la pamtima amene ndinamudalira, iye amene amadya pamodzi ndi ine watukula chidendene chake kulimbana nane.
10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Koma Yehova mundichititre chifundo, dzutseni kuti ndiwabwezere.
11 By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.
Ine ndikudziwa kuti mukukondwera nane, pakuti mdani wanga sandigonjetsa.
12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
Mu ungwiro wanga Inu mumandisunga ndi kundiyimika pamaso panu kwamuyaya.
13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and amen.
Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli kuchokera muyaya mpaka muyaya. Ameni ndi Ameni.
