< Zabbuli 17 >
1 Okusaba kwa Dawudi. Wulira, Ayi Mukama, okukoowoola kwange nga nneegayirira, wuliriza okukaaba kwange. Tega okutu owulirize okukoowoola kwange, kubanga tekuva ku mimwa gya bulimba.
Pemphero la Davide. Imvani Inu Yehova pempho langa lachilungamo; mverani kulira kwanga. Tcherani khutu kuti mumve pemphero langa popeza silikuchokera pakamwa pachinyengo.
2 Nzigyako omusango; kubanga olaba ekituufu.
Kusalakwa kwanga kuchokera kwa inu; maso anu aone chimene ndi cholungama.
3 Weekenneenyezza omutima gwange era n’onkebera n’ekiro. Ne bw’onongezesa toobeeko kibi ky’onsangamu; kubanga mmaliridde obutayogeranga bya bulimba.
Ngakhale Inu mutafufuza mtima wanga ndi kundisanthula usiku, ngakhale mutandiyesa, simudzapeza kanthu; Ine ndatsimikiza kuti pakamwa panga sipadzachimwa.
4 Ggwe, gwe nkoowoola, ngoberedde ebigambo by’akamwa ko, ne neewala ebikolwa by’abantu abakambwe.
Kunena za ntchito za anthu, monga mwa mawu a pakamwa panu, Ine ndadzisunga ndekha posatsata njira zachiwawa.
5 Nnyweredde mu makubo go, era ebigere byange tebiigalekenga.
Mayendedwe anga akhazikika pa njira zanu; mapazi anga sanaterereke.
6 Nkukoowoola, Ayi Katonda, kubanga mmanyi ng’onnyanukula; ontegere okutu kwo owulire okusaba kwange.
Ine ndikuyitana Inu, Mulungu wanga, pakuti mudzandiyankha; tcherani khutu lanu kwa ine ndipo mumve pemphero langa.
7 Ndaga okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo, okwewuunyisa, ggwe alokola n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo abo bonna abakweyuna nga badduka abalabe baabwe.
Onetsani kudabwitsa kwa chikondi chanu chachikulu, Inu amene mumapulumutsa ndi dzanja lanu lamanja iwo amene amathawira kwa inu kuchoka kwa adani awo.
8 Onkuume ng’emmunye ey’eriiso lyo; onkweke mu kisiikirize ky’ebiwaawaatiro byo.
Mundisunge ine ngati mwanadiso; mundibise mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu,
9 Omponye ababi abannumba, n’abalabe bange abanneetoolodde.
kuchoka kwa oyipa amene amandizinga ine, kuchoka kwa anthu amene ndi adani anga, amene andizungulira ine.
10 Omutima gwabwe mukakanyavu, n’akamwa kaabwe koogera by’amalala.
Iwo amatseka mitima yawo yopanda chifundo, ndi pakamwa pawo amayankhula modzitamandira.
11 Banzingizza era banneetoolodde; bansimbye amaaso nga beeteeseteese okunsuula wansi.
Andisaka, tsopano andizungulira ndi maso awo atcheru, kuti andigwetse pansi.
12 Bali ng’empologoma enjala gy’eruma eyeeteeseteese okutaagula omuyiggo gwayo era ng’empologoma enkulu eteeze.
Iwo ali ngati mkango wofuna nyama; ngati mkango waukulu wokhala mobisala.
13 Golokoka n’ekitala kyo, Ayi Mukama, oyolekere abalabe bange obawangule, omponye ababi abo.
Dzukani Yehova, mulimbane nawo ndipo muwagwetse pansi; landitseni kuchoka kwa oyipa ndi lupanga lanu.
14 Ayi Mukama, mponya abantu, abantu ab’ensi n’omukono gwo, kubanga balowooleza mu bya bulamu buno byokka, n’emigabo gyabwe giri mu nsi. Embuto zaabwe zigezze, obagaggawazizza ne baterekera n’abaana baabwe ne bazzukulu baabwe.
Inu Yehova, pulumutseni ndi dzanja lanu kwa anthu otere, kwa anthu a dziko lino amene mphotho yawo ili mʼmoyo uno. Inu mumaletsa njala kwa amene asangalatsidwa nanu; ana awo aamuna ali ndi zinthu zambiri, ndipo iwo amasunga chuma cha ana awo.
15 Nze ndikulaba n’amaaso mu butuukirivu era ndimatira, bwe ndiraba obwenyi bwo nga nzuukuse.
Ndipo ine mʼchilungamo ndidzaona nkhope yanu; pamene ndidzadzuka, ndidzakondwera kwambiri poonana nanu.
