Psalms 79
1 A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
Salimo la Asafu. Inu Mulungu, anthu a mitundu ina alowerera mʼcholowa chanu; ayipitsa Nyumba yanu yoyera, asandutsa Yerusalemu kukhala bwinja.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
Iwo anapereka mitembo ya atumiki anu kwa mbalame zamlengalenga ngati chakudya, matupi a oyera mtima anu kwa zirombo za dziko lapansi.
3 They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
Akhetsa magazi monga madzi kuzungulira Yerusalemu yense, ndipo palibe wina woti ayike mʼmanda anthu akufa.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
Ife ndife chinthu chonyozeka kwa anansi athu, choseketsa ndi cholalatiridwa kwa iwo amene atizungulira.
5 How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Mpaka liti Inu Yehova? Kodi mudzakwiya mpaka muyaya? Kodi mpaka liti nsanje yanu idzayaka ngati moto?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
Khuthulirani ukali wanu pa anthu a mitundu ina amene sakudziwani Inu, pa maufumu amene sayitana pa dzina lanu;
7 for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
pakuti iwo ameza Yakobo ndi kuwononga dziko lawo.
8 Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
Musatilange chifukwa cha machimo a makolo athu chifundo chanu chibwere msanga kukumana nafe, pakuti tili ndi chosowa chachikulu.
9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
Tithandizeni Inu Mulungu Mpulumutsi wathu, chifukwa cha ulemerero wa dzina lanu; tipulumutseni ndi kutikhululukira machimo athu chifukwa cha dzina lanu.
10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
Chifukwa chiyani anthu a mitundu ina akuti, “Ali kuti Mulungu wawo?” Ife tikuona, zidziwike pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kuti mumabwezera chilango chifukwa cha magazi amene anakhetsedwa a atumiki anu.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
Kubuwula kwa anthu a mʼndende kufike pamaso panu; ndi mphamvu ya dzanja lanu muwasunge amene aweruzidwa kuti aphedwe.
12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
Mubwezere kwa anansi athu kasanu nʼkawiri kunyoza kumene ananyoza Inu Ambuye.
13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
Pamenepo ife anthu anu, nkhosa za pabusa panu, tidzakutamandani kwamuyaya, kuchokera mʼbado ndi mʼbado tidzafotokoza za matamando anu.
