Psalms 69
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Akakombo.” Pulumutseni Inu Mulungu, pakuti madzi afika mʼkhosi
2 I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.
Ine ndikumira mʼthope lozama mʼmene mulibe popondapo. Ndalowa mʼmadzi ozama; mafunde andimiza.
3 I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.
Ndafowoka ndikupempha chithandizo; kummero kwanga kwawuma gwaa, mʼmaso mwanga mwada kuyembekezera Mulungu wanga.
4 Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away — I bring back.
Iwo amene amadana nane popanda chifukwa ndi ochuluka kuposa tsitsi la kumutu kwanga; ambiri ndi adani anga popanda chifukwa, iwo amene akufunafuna kundiwononga. Ndikukakamizidwa kubwezera zomwe sindinabe.
5 O God, Thou — Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.
Mukudziwa uchitsiru wanga, Inu Mulungu, kulakwa kwanga sikuli kobisika kwa Inu.
6 Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
Iwo amene amadalira Inu asanyozedwe chifukwa cha ine, Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Iwo amene amafunafuna Inu asachititsidwe manyazi chifukwa cha ine, Inu Mulungu wa Israeli.
7 For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.
Pakuti ndimapirira kunyozedwa chifukwa cha Inu, ndipo manyazi amaphimba nkhope yanga.
8 A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
Ndine mlendo kwa abale anga, munthu wakudza kwa ana aamuna a amayi anga;
9 For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
pakuti changu chochitira nyumba yanu chandiphetsa ndipo chipongwe cha iwo amene amanyoza Inu chandigwera.
10 And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
Pamene ndikulira ndi kusala kudya, ndiyenera kupirira kunyozedwa;
11 And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.
pomwe ndavala chiguduli, anthu amandiseweretsa.
12 Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
Iwo amene amakhala pa chipata amandinena, ndipo ine ndine nyimbo ya zidakwa.
13 And I — my prayer [is] to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.
Koma ndikupempha kwa Inu Ambuye, pa nthawi yanu yondikomera mtima; mwa chikondi chanu chachikulu Inu Mulungu, mundiyankhe pondipulumutsa.
14 Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
Mundilanditse kuchoka mʼmatope, musalole kuti ndimire, pulumutseni ine kwa iwo amene amadana nane, kuchoka mʼmadzi ozama.
15 Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Musalole kuti chigumula chindimeze, kuya kusandimeze ndipo dzenje lisatseke pakamwa pake kundimiza.
16 Answer me, O Jehovah, for good [is] Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,
Ndiyankheni Inu Yehova mwa ubwino wanu wa chikondi chanu; mwa chifundo chanu chachikulu tembenukirani kwa ine.
17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress — haste, answer me.
Musabisire nkhope yanu mtumiki wanu, ndiyankheni msanga, pakuti ndili pa mavuto.
18 Be near unto my soul — redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.
Bwerani pafupi ndi kundilanditsa; ndiwomboleni chifukwa cha adani anga.
19 Thou — Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee [are] all mine adversaries.
Inu mukudziwa momwe ndanyozedwera, kunyozedwa ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi; adani anga onse ali pamaso panu.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
Mnyozo waswa mtima wanga ndipo wandisiya wopanda thandizo lililonse; ndinafunafuna ena woti andichitire chisoni, koma panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe woti anditonthoze, sindinapeze ndi mmodzi yemwe.
21 And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.
Iwo anayika ndulu mʼchakudya changa ndi kundipatsa vinyo wosasa chifukwa cha ludzu.
22 Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence — for a trap.
Chakudya chomwe chayikidwa patsogolo pawo chikhale msampha; chikhale chobwezera chilango ndiponso khwekhwe.
23 Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.
Maso awo adetsedwe kotero kuti asaonenso ndipo misana yawo ipindike mpaka kalekale.
24 Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.
Khuthulirani ukali wanu pa iwo; mkwiyo wanu woyaka moto uwathe mphamvu.
25 Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no dweller.
Malo awo akhale wopanda anthu pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe wokhala mʼmatenti awo.
26 For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.
Pakuti iwo amazunza amene inu munamuvulaza ndi kuyankhula zowawa kwa amene munawapweteka.
27 Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.
Awonjezereni kulakwa pa kulakwa kwawo, musalole kuti akhale ndi gawo pa chipulumutso chanu.
28 They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.
Iwo afufutidwe mʼbuku la amoyo ndipo asalembedwe pamodzi ndi olungama.
29 And I [am] afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God, doth set me on high.
Ndikumva zowawa ndi kuzunzika; lolani chipulumutso chanu, Inu Mulungu, chinditeteze.
30 I praise the name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
Ine ndidzatamanda dzina la Mulungu mʼnyimbo, ndidzalemekeza Iye ndi chiyamiko.
31 And it is better to Jehovah than an ox, A bullock — horned — hoofed.
Izi zidzakondweretsa Yehova kupambana ngʼombe, kupambananso ngʼombe yayimuna, pamodzi ndi nyanga ndi ziboda zake.
32 The humble have seen — they rejoice, Ye who seek God — and your heart liveth.
Wosauka adzaona ndipo adzasangalala, Inu amene mumafunafuna Mulungu, mitima yanu ikhale ndi moyo!
33 For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones He hath not despised.
Yehova amamvera anthu osowa ndipo sanyoza anthu ake omangidwa.
34 The heavens and earth do praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zitamanda Iye, nyanja ndi zonse zomwe zimayenda mʼmenemo,
35 For God doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
pakuti Mulungu adzapulumutsa Ziyoni ndi kumanganso mizinda ya Yuda, anthu adzakhala kumeneko ndipo dzikolo lidzakhala lawo;
36 And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His name dwell in it!
ana atumiki ake adzalitenga kukhala cholowa chawo, ndipo iwo amene amakonda dzina lake adzakhala kumeneko.
