Psalms 85

1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la ana a Kora. Yehova munakomera mtima dziko lanu; munabwezeretsa ulemerero wa Yakobo.

2 Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)

Munakhululukira mphulupulu za anthu anu ndi kuphimba machimo awo onse. (Sela)

3 Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

Munayika pambali ukali wanu wonse ndi kutembenuka kuchoka ku mkwiyo wanu woopsa.

4 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

Tibwezeretseninso mwakale Inu Mulungu Mpulumutsi wathu, ndipo mutichotsere mkwiyo wanu.

5 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

Kodi mudzatikwiyira mpaka liti? Kodi mudzapitiriza kukwiya pa mibado yathu yonse?

6 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

Kodi simudzatitsitsimutsanso, kuti anthu anu asangalale mwa Inu?

7 Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

Tionetseni chikondi chanu chosatha, Inu Yehova, ndipo tipatseni chipulumutso chanu.

8 I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

Ndidzamvetsera zimene Yehova Mulungu adzanena; Iye amalonjeza mtendere kwa anthu ake, oyera mtima ake, koma musawalole kuti abwerere ku zopusa.

9 Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

Ndithu chipulumutso chake chili pafupi ndi iwo amene amaopa Iye, kuti ulemerero wake ukhale mʼdziko lathu.

10 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

Chikondi ndi kukhulupirika zimakumana pamodzi; chilungamo ndi mtendere zimapsompsonana.

11 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

Kukhulupirika kumatumphuka kuchokera ku dziko lapansi, ndipo chilungamo chimayangʼana pansi kuchokera kumwamba.

12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

Ndithu Yehova adzapereka chimene chili chabwino, ndipo dziko lathu lidzapereka zokolola zake.

13 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

Wolungama amapita patsogolo pake ndi kukonza njira za mapazi ake.
