Psalms 31
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mwa Inu Yehova, ine ndimathawiramo; musalole nʼkomwe kuti ndichititsidwe manyazi; mundipulumutse chifukwa cha chilungamo chanu.
2 Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
Tcherani khutu lanu kwa ine, bwerani msanga kudzandilanditsa; mukhale thanthwe langa lothawirapo, linga lolimba kundipulumutsa ine.
3 For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.
Popeza Inu ndinu thanthwe langa ndi linga langa, chifukwa cha dzina lanu tsogolereni ndi kundiwongolera.
4 Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou [art] my strength.
Ndimasuleni mu msampha umene anditchera pakuti ndinu pothawirapo panga.
5 Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
Mʼmanja mwanu ndipereka mzimu wanga; womboleni Yehova Mulungu wachoonadi.
6 I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
Koma ine ndimadana nawo amene amamamatira mafano achabechabe; ine ndimadalira Yehova.
7 I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
Ndidzakondwa ndi kusangalala mʼchikondi chanu popeza Inu munaona masautso anga ndipo mumadziwa kuwawa kwa moyo wanga.
8 And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
Inu simunandipereke kwa mdani koma mwayika mapazi anga pa malo otakasuka.
9 Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
Mundichitire chifundo Inu Yehova pakuti ndili pa mavuto; maso anga akulefuka ndi chisoni, mʼmoyo mwanga ndi mʼthupi mwanga momwe mukupweteka.
10 For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
Moyo wanga ukunyeka chifukwa cha kuwawidwa mtima ndi zaka zanga chifukwa cha kubuwula; mphamvu zanga zatha chifuwa cha masautso, ndipo mafupa anga akulefuka.
11 Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without — fled from me.
Chifukwa cha adani anga onse, ndine wonyozeka kwambiri ndi anansi anga; ndine chochititsa manyazi kwa abwenzi anga. Iwo amene amandiona mu msewu amandithawa.
12 I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
Ine ndinayiwalika kwa iwo ngati kuti ndinamwalira; ndakhala ngati mʼphika wosweka.
13 For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
Pakuti ine ndamva zonena zoyipa za anthu ambiri; zoopsa zandizungulira mbali zonse; iwo akukonza chiwembu kuti alimbane nane, kuti atenge moyo wanga.
14 And I on Thee — I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou [art] my God.'
Koma ndikudalira Inu Yehova; ndikunena kuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.”
15 In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
Masiku anga ali mʼmanja mwanu; ndipulumutseni kwa adani anga ndi kwa iwo amene akundithamangitsa.
16 Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
Walitsani nkhope yanu pa mtumiki wanu; pulumutseni mwa chikondi chanu chosatha.
17 O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Yehova musalole kuti ndichite manyazi, pakuti ndalirira kwa Inu; koma oyipa achititsidwe manyazi ndipo agone chete mʼmanda. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
Milomo yawo yabodzayo ikhale chete, pakuti chifukwa cha kunyada ayankhula modzikuza kutsutsana ndi wolungama.
19 How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
Ndi waukulu ubwino wanu umene mwawasungira amene amakuopani, umene mumapereka anthu akuona kwa iwo amene amathawira kwa Inu.
20 Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
Mu mthunzi wa pamalo popezeka panu muwabisa, kuwateteza ku ziwembu za anthu; mʼmalo anu okhalamo mumawateteza kwa anthu owatsutsa.
21 Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
Matamando akhale kwa Yehova, pakuti anaonetsa chikondi chake chodabwitsa kwa ine pamene ndinali mu mzinda wozingidwa.
22 And I — I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
Ndili mʼnkhawa zanga ndinati, “Ine ndachotsedwa pamaso panu!” Komabe Inu munamva kupempha chifundo kwanga pamene ndinapempha thandizo kwa Inu.
23 Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.
Kondani Yehova oyera mtima ake onse! Yehova amasunga wokhulupirika koma amalanga kwathunthu anthu odzikuza.
24 Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
Khalani ndi nyonga ndipo limbani mtima, inu nonse amene mumayembekezera Yehova.
