Psalms 102
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, LORD! Let my cry come to you.
Pemphero la munthu wosautsidwa, pamene walefuka, nakhuthulira pamaso pa Yehova kulira kwakeko. Yehova imvani pemphero langa; kulira kwanga kopempha thandizo kufike kwa Inu.
2 Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
Musandibisire nkhope yanu pamene ndili pa msautso. Munditcherere khutu; pamene ndiyitana ndiyankheni msanga.
3 For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.
Pakuti masiku anga akupita ngati utsi; mafupa anga akunyeka ngati nkhuni zoyaka.
4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.
Mtima wanga wakanthidwa ndipo ukufota ngati udzu; ndipo ndimayiwala kudya chakudya changa.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.
Chifukwa cha kubuwula kwanga kofuwula ndatsala chikopa ndi mafupa okhaokha.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
Ndili ngati kadzidzi wa ku chipululu, monga kadzidzi pakati pa mabwinja.
7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
Ndimagona osapeza tulo; ndakhala ngati mbalame yokhala yokha pa denga.
8 My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
Tsiku lonse adani anga amandichita chipongwe; iwo amene amandinyoza, amagwiritsa ntchito dzina langa ngati temberero.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
Pakuti ndimadya phulusa ngati chakudya changa ndi kusakaniza chakumwa changa ndi misozi
10 because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.
chifukwa cha ukali wanu waukulu, popeza Inu mwandinyamula ndi kunditayira kumbali.
11 My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
Masiku anga ali ngati mthunzi wa kumadzulo; Ine ndikufota ngati udzu.
12 But you, LORD, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.
Koma Inu Yehova, muli pa mpando wanu waufumu kwamuyaya; kudziwika kwanu ndi kokhazikika ku mibado yonse.
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
Inu mudzadzuka ndi kuchitira chifundo Ziyoni pakuti ndi nthawi yoti muonetse kukoma mtima kwanu pa iyeyo; nthawi yoyikika yafika.
14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.
Pakuti miyala yake ndi yokondedwa kwa atumiki anu; fumbi lake lokha limawachititsa kuti amve chisoni.
15 So the nations will fear the LORD’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.
Mitundu ya anthu idzaopa dzina la Yehova, mafumu onse a dziko lapansi adzalemekeza ulemerero wanu.
16 For the LORD has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
Pakuti Yehova adzamanganso Ziyoni ndi kuonekera mu ulemerero wake.
17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.
Iye adzayankha pemphero la anthu otayika; sadzanyoza kupempha kwawo.
18 This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise the LORD,
Zimenezi zilembedwe chifukwa cha mibado ya mʼtsogolo, kuti anthu amene sanabadwe adzatamande Yehova:
19 for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, the LORD saw the earth,
“Yehova anayangʼana pansi kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika mmwamba, kuchokera kumwamba anayangʼana dziko lapansi,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,
kuti amve kubuwula kwa anthu a mʼndende, kuti apulumutse amene anayenera kuphedwa.”
21 that men may declare the LORD’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
Kotero dzina la Yehova lidzalengezedwa mu Ziyoni ndi matamando ake mu Yerusalemu,
22 when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
pamene mitundu ya anthu ndi maufumu adzasonkhana kuti alambire Yehova.
23 He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.
Iye anathyola mphamvu zanga pa nthawi ya moyo wanga; Iyeyo anafupikitsa masiku anga.
24 I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.
Choncho Ine ndinati: “Musandichotse, Inu Mulungu wanga, pakati pa masiku a moyo wanga; zaka zanu zimakhalabe pa mibado yonse.
25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.
Pachiyambi Inu munakhazikitsa maziko a dziko lapansi ndipo mayiko akumwamba ndi ntchito ya manja anu.
26 They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
Izi zidzatha, koma Inu mudzakhalapo; zidzatha ngati chovala. Mudzazisintha ngati chovala ndipo zidzatayidwa.
27 But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
Koma Inu simusintha, ndipo zaka zanu sizidzatha.
28 The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”
Ana a atumiki anu adzakhala pamaso panu; zidzukulu zawo zidzakhazikika pamaso panu.”
