Psalmorum 140
1 in finem psalmus David eripe me Domine ab homine malo a viro iniquo eripe me
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Landitseni Yehova kwa anthu oyipa; tetezeni kwa anthu ankhanza,
2 qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde tota die constituebant proelia
amene mu mtima mwawo amakonza zinthu zoyipa ndi kuyambitsa nkhondo tsiku lililonse.
3 acuerunt linguam suam sicut serpentis venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum diapsalma
Iwo amanola malilime awo kukhala akuthwa ngati a njoka; pa milomo yawo pali ululu wa mamba. (Sela)
4 custodi me Domine de manu peccatoris ab hominibus iniquis eripe me qui cogitaverunt subplantare gressus meos
Tetezeni Inu Yehova, kwa anthu oyipa; tchinjirizeni kwa anthu ankhanza amene amakonza zokola mapazi anga.
5 absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi et funes extenderunt in laqueum iuxta iter scandalum posuerunt mihi diapsalma
Anthu odzikuza anditchera msampha mobisika; iwo atchera zingwe za maukonde awo ndipo anditchera misampha pa njira yanga. (Sela)
6 dixi Domino Deus meus es tu exaudi Domine vocem deprecationis meae
Inu Yehova, ine ndikuti, “Ndinu Mulungu wanga.” Imvani kupempha kwanga Yehova.
7 Domine Domine virtus salutis meae obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli
Inu Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, Mpulumutsi wanga wamphamvu, mumateteza mutu wanga tsiku lankhondo.
8 non tradas Domine desiderio meo peccatori cogitaverunt contra me ne derelinquas me ne forte exaltentur diapsalma
Musawapatse anthu oyipa zokhumba zawo, Inu Yehova; musalole kuti zokonza zawo zitheke, mwina iwo adzayamba kunyada. (Sela)
9 caput circuitus eorum labor labiorum ipsorum operiet eos
Mitu ya amene andizungulira iphimbidwe ndi masautso amene milomo yawo yayambitsa.
10 cadent super eos carbones in igne deicies eos in miseriis non subsistent
Makala amoto agwere pa iwo; aponyedwe pa moto, mʼmaenje amatope, asatulukemonso.
11 vir linguosus non dirigetur in terra virum iniustum mala capient in interitu
Musalole kuti anthu achipongwe akhazikike mʼdziko; choyipa chilondole anthu ankhanza.
12 cognovi quia faciet Dominus iudicium inopis et vindictam pauperum
Ndikudziwa kuti Yehova amapereka chiweruzo cholungama kwa anthu osauka, ndipo amateteza zolinga za anthu osowa.
13 verumtamen iusti confitebuntur nomini tuo habitabunt recti cum vultu tuo
Zoonadi anthu olungama adzatamanda dzina lanu, ndipo anthu owongoka mtima adzakhala pamaso panu.
