< Amahubo 40 >
1 Ngalindela lokuyilindela iNkosi; yangithobela, yezwa ukukhala kwami.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mofatsa ndinadikira Yehova Iye anatembenukira kwa ine ndipo anamva kulira kwanga.
2 Yangenyula emgodini ohlokomayo, exhaphozini lodaka, yabeka inyawo zami phezu kwedwala, yaqinisa izinyathelo zami.
Ananditulutsa mʼdzenje lachitayiko, mʼthope ndi mʼchithaphwi; Iye anakhazikitsa mapazi anga pa thanthwe ndipo anandipatsa malo oyimapo olimba.
3 Yafaka ingoma entsha emlonyeni wami, indumiso kuNkulunkulu wethu. Abanengi bazabona besabe, bathembe eNkosini.
Iye anayika nyimbo yatsopano mʼkamwa mwanga, nyimbo yamatamando kwa Mulungu wanga. Ambiri adzaona, nadzaopa ndipo adzakhulupirira Yehova.
4 Ubusisiwe umuntu oyenzayo iNkosi ibe lithemba lakhe, ongaphendukeli kwabazigqajayo, lalabo abaphendukela emangeni.
Ndi wodala munthu amakhulupirira Yehova; amene sayembekezera kwa odzikuza, kapena kwa amene amatembenukira kwa milungu yabodza.
5 Minengi wena oyenzileyo, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, imisebenzi yakho emangalisayo lemicabango yakho kithi; ingelandiswe ngokulandelana kuwe. Ngingayilandisa ngiyitsho, minengi kulokuthi ibalwe.
Zambiri, Yehova Mulungu wanga, ndi zodabwitsa zimene Inu mwachita. Zinthu zimene munazikonzera ife palibe amene angathe kukuwerengerani. Nditati ndiyankhule ndi kufotokozera, zidzakhala zambiri kuzifotokoza.
6 Umhlatshelo lomnikelo kawukufisi; izindlebe zami uzivulile; umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono kawuwubizi.
Nsembe ndi zopereka Inu simuzifuna, koma makutu anga mwawatsekula; zopereka zopsereza ndi zopereka chifukwa cha tchimo Inu simunazipemphe.
7 Ngasengisithi: Khangela, ngiyeza; emqulwini wogwalo kulotshiwe ngami.
Kotero ndinati, “Ndili pano, ndabwera. Mʼbuku mwalembedwa za ine.
8 Ngiyathokoza ukwenza intando yakho, Nkulunkulu wami, lomlayo wakho uphakathi kwemibilini yami.
Ndikufuna kuchita chifuniro chanu, Inu Mulungu wanga; lamulo lanu lili mu mtima mwanga.”
9 Ngitshumayele ukulunga ebandleni elikhulu; khangela, kangibambanga indebe zami, Nkosi, wena uyakwazi.
Ndikulalikira uthenga wa chilungamo chanu mu msonkhano waukulu; sinditseka milomo yanga monga mukudziwa Inu Yehova.
10 Ukulunga kwakho kangikufihlanga phakathi kwenhliziyo yami; ngikhulumile ngobuqotho bakho langosindiso lwakho; kangifihlanga uthandolomusa wakho leqiniso lakho ebandleni elikhulu.
Sindibisa chilungamo chanu mu mtima mwanga; ndinayankhula za kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chipulumutso chanu. Ine sindiphimba chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu pa msonkhano waukulu.
11 Wena Nkosi, ungangigodleli isihawu sakho; uthandolomusa wakho leqiniso lakho kakungilondoloze njalonjalo.
Musandichotsere chifundo chanu Yehova; chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu zinditeteze nthawi zonse.
12 Ngoba ububi obungebalwe bungihanqile, iziphambeko zami zingibambile, ukuze ngingabi lakho ukubona; zinengi okwedlula inwele zekhanda lami; ngakho inhliziyo yami ingitshiyile.
Pakuti mavuto osawerengeka andizungulira; machimo anga andigonjetsa, ndipo sindingathe kuona. Alipo ambiri kuposa tsitsi la mʼmutu mwanga, ndipo mtima wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga.
13 Thokoza, Nkosi, ukungikhulula. Nkosi, phangisa ukungisiza.
Pulumutseni Yehova; Bwerani msanga Yehova kudzandithandiza.
14 Kabayangeke babe lenhloni ndawonye abadinga umphefumulo wami ukuwuchitha; kababuyiselwe emuva bayangiswe abangifisela okubi.
Onse amene akufunafuna kuchotsa moyo wanga achititsidwe manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa; onse amene amakhumba chiwonongeko changa abwezedwe mwamanyazi.
15 Kabachitheke kube ngumvuzo wehlazo labo abathi kimi: Aha, aha!
Iwo amene amanena kwa ine kuti, “Hee! Hee!” abwerere akuchita manyazi.
16 Kabathabe bajabule kuwe bonke abakudingayo; abathanda usindiso lwakho kabatsho njalonjalo bathi: Kayikhuliswe iNkosi!
Koma iwo amene amafunafuna Inu akondwere ndi kusangalala mwa Inu; iwo amene amakonda chipulumutso chanu nthawi zonse anene kuti, “Yehova akwezeke!”
17 Kodwa ngingumyanga ngiyaswela; iNkosi iyangikhumbula; ungumsizi wami lomkhululi wami; Nkulunkulu wami, ungalibali.
Komabe Ine ndine wosauka ndi wosowa; Ambuye andiganizire. Inu ndinu thandizo langa ndi wondiwombola wanga; Inu Mulungu wanga, musachedwe.
