Psalms 42
1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Ndakatulo ya ana a Kora. Monga mbawala ipuma wefuwefu kufunafuna mitsinje yamadzi, kotero moyo wanga upuma wefuwefu kufunafuna Inu Mulungu.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
Moyo wanga uli ndi ludzu lofuna Mulungu, lofuna Mulungu wamoyo. Kodi ndipite liti kukakumana ndi Mulungu?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
Misozi yanga yakhala chakudya changa usana ndi usiku, pamene anthu akunena kwa ine tsiku lonse kuti, “Mulungu wako ali kuti?”
4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
Zinthu izi ndimazikumbukira pamene ndikukhuthula moyo wanga: momwe ndinkapitira ndi gulu lalikulu, kutsogolera mayendedwe a ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi mfuwu yachimwemwe ndi mayamiko pakati pa anthu a pa chikondwerero.
5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
Nʼchifukwa chiyani uli ndi chisoni, iwe moyo wanga? Nʼchifukwa chiyani wakhumudwa iwe mʼkati mwanga? Yembekezera Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamulambirabe, Mpulumutsi wanga ndi
6 My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
Mulungu wanga. Moyo wanga uli ndi chisoni mʼkati mwanga kotero ndidzakumbukira Inu kuchokera ku dziko la Yorodani, ku mitunda ya Herimoni kuchokera ku phiri la Mizara.
7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.
Madzi akuya akuyitana madzi akuya mu mkokomo wa mathithi anu; mafunde anu onse obwera mwamphamvu andimiza.
8 GOD will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.
Koma usana Yehova amalamulira chikondi chake, nthawi ya usiku nyimbo yake ili nane; pemphero kwa Mulungu wa moyo wanga.
9 I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
Ine ndikuti kwa Mulungu Thanthwe langa, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandiyiwala? Nʼchifukwa chiyani ndiyenera kuyenda ndikulira, woponderezedwa ndi mdani?”
10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
Mafupa anga ali ndi ululu wakufa nawo pamene adani anga akundinyoza, tsiku lonse akunena kuti, “Mulungu wako ali kuti?”
11 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
Bwanji ukumva chisoni, iwe mtima wanga? Chifukwa chiyani ukuvutika chonchi mʼkati mwanga? Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamutamandanso, Iye amene ali thandizo langa ndi Mulungu wanga.
