Psalms 139
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mwandisanthula ndipo mukundidziwa.
2 Thou — Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.
Inu mumadziwa pamene ndikhala pansi ndi pamene ndidzuka; mumazindikira maganizo anga muli kutali.
3 My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And [with] all my ways hast been acquainted.
Mumapenyetsetsa pamene ndikutuluka ndi kugona kwanga; mumadziwa njira zanga zonse.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!
Mawu asanatuluke pa lilime langa mumawadziwa bwinobwino, Inu Yehova.
5 Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.
Mumandizinga kumbuyo ndi kutsogolo komwe; mwasanjika dzanja lanu pa ine.
6 Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.
Nzeru zimenezi ndi zopitirira nzeru zanga, ndi zapamwamba kuti ine ndizipeze.
7 Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?
Kodi ndingapite kuti kufuna kuzemba Mzimu wanu? Kodi ndingathawire kuti kuchoka pamaso panu?
8 If I ascend the heavens — there Thou [art], And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! (Sheol h7585)
Ndikakwera kumwamba, Inu muli komweko; ndikakagona ku malo a anthu akufa, Inu muli komweko. (Sheol h7585)
9 I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
Ngati ndiwulukira kotulukira dzuwa, ngati ndikakhala ku malekezero a nyanja,
10 Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.
kumenekonso dzanja lanu lidzanditsogolera, dzanja lanu lamanja lidzandigwiriziza.
11 And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night [is] light to me.
Ndikanena kuti, “Zoonadi, mdima udzandibisa ndithu ndipo kuwunika kukhale mdima mondizungulira,”
12 Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as [is] darkness so [is] light.
komabe mdimawo sudzakhala mdima kwa Inu; usiku udzawala ngati masana, pakuti mdima uli ngati kuwunika kwa Inu.
13 For Thou — Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.
Pakuti Inu munalenga za mʼkati mwanga; munandiwumba pamodzi mʼmimba mwa amayi anga.
14 I confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is knowing [it] well.
Ndimakuyamikani chifukwa ndinapangidwa mochititsa mantha ndi modabwitsa; ntchito zanu ndi zodabwitsa, zimenezi ndimazidziwa bwino lomwe.
15 My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.
Mapangidwe anga sanabisike pamaso panu pamene ndimapangidwa mʼmalo achinsinsi, pamene ndinkawumbidwa mwaluso mʼmimba ya amayi anga.
16 Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed — And not one among them.
Maso anu anaona thupi langa lisanawumbidwe. Masiku onse amene anapatsidwa kwa ine, analembedwa mʼbuku lanu asanayambe nʼkuwerengedwa komwe.
17 And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!
Zolingalira zanu pa ine ndi zamtengowapatali, Inu Mulungu, ndi zosawerengeka ndithu!
18 I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.
Ndikanaziwerenga, zikanakhala zochuluka kuposa mchenga; pamene ndadzuka, ndili nanube.
19 Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
Ndi bwino mukanangopha anthu oyipa, Inu Mulungu! Chokereni inu anthu owononga anzanu!
20 Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity [are] Thine enemies.
Amayankhula za Inu ndi zolinga zoyipa; adani anu amagwiritsa ntchito dzina lanu molakwika.
21 Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?
Kodi ine sindidana nawo amene amakudani, Inu Yehova? Kodi sindinyansidwa nawo amene amakuwukirani?
22 [With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.
Ndimadana nawo kwathunthu; ndi adani anga.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,
Santhuleni, Inu Mulungu ndipo mudziwe mtima wanga; Yeseni ndipo mudziwe zolingalira zanga.
24 And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
Onani ngati muli mayendedwe aliwonse oyipa mwa ine, ndipo munditsogolere mʼnjira yanu yamuyaya.
