Masalimo 6

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa zoyimbira za zingwe. Molingana ndi seminiti. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, musandidzudzule mu mkwiyo wanu, kapena kundilanga mu ukali wanu.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 Ndichitireni chifundo Inu Yehova, pakuti ndalefuka; Inu Yehova chiritseni, pakuti mafupa anga ali pa ululu waukulu.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am withered away. O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

3 Moyo wanga uli pa mazunzo aakulu. Mpaka liti, Inu Yehova, mpaka liti?

My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

4 Tembenukani Inu Yehova, ndipo mundilanditse; pulumutseni chifukwa cha chikondi chanu chosasinthika.

Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.

5 Palibe amene amakukumbukirani pamene wamwalira; Amakutamandani ndani ali ku manda? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

6 Ine ndatopa ndi kubuwula; usiku wonse pa bedi panga pamadzaza ndi misozi yanga; ndimanyowetsa pogona panga ndi misozi.

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears.

7 Maso anga atupa chifukwa cha chisoni; akulephera kuona chifukwa cha adani anga.

My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

8 Chokani kwa ine inu nonse amene mumachita zoyipa, pakuti Yehova wamva kulira kwanga.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 Yehova wamva kupempha kwanga kofuna chifundo; Yehova walandira pemphero langa.

Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer.

10 Adani anga onse adzachita manyazi ndipo adzakhala ndi mantha; adzabwerera msangamsanga mwa manyazi.

All my enemies shall be put to shame and greatly troubled. They shall turn back. They shall be put to shame suddenly.
