Masalimo 13

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mpaka liti Yehova? Kodi mudzandiyiwala mpaka kalekale? Mpaka liti mudzandibisira nkhope yanu?

How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

2 Ndidzalimbana ndi maganizo anga ndi kukhala ndi chisoni mu mtima mwanga tsiku lililonse mpaka liti? Mpaka liti adani anga adzandipambana?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Ndiyangʼaneni ndi kundiyankha, Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga. Walitsani maso anga kuti ndingafe;

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

4 mdani wanga adzati, “Ndamugonjetsa,” ndipo adani anga adzakondwera pamene ine ndagwa.

lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 Koma ndikudalira chikondi chanu chosasinthika; mtima wanga umakondwera ndi chipulumutso chanu.

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova pakuti wandichitira zokoma.

I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.
