Masalimo 86
1 Pemphero la Davide. Ndimvereni Yehova ndipo mundiyankhe, pakuti ndine wosauka ndi wosowa.
Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Yangʼanirani moyo wanga, pakuti ndine wodzipereka kwa Inu. Inu ndinu Mulungu wanga; pulumutsani mtumiki wanu amene amadalira Inu. Inu ndinu Mulungu wanga.
Preserve my soul, for I am devout. O thou my God, save thy servant who trusts in thee.
3 Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Ambuye, pakuti ndikuyitana Inu tsiku lonse.
Be merciful to me, O Lord, for to thee do I cry all the day long.
4 Bweretsani chimwemwe kwa mtumiki wanu, Ambuye, pakuti ndimadalira Inu.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Inu Ambuye, ndinu wokhululuka ndi wabwino, wodzaza ndi chikondi kwa onse amene amayitana Inu.
For thou, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in loving kindness to all those who call upon thee.
6 Yehova imvani pemphero langa; mvetserani kulira kwanga kofuna chifundo.
Give ear, O Jehovah, to my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplications.
7 Pa tsiku la mavuto anga ndidzayitana Inu, pakuti Inu mudzandiyankha.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou will answer me.
8 Pakati pa milungu palibe wina wofanana nanu Ambuye; palibe ntchito zolingana ndi ntchito zanu.
There is none like thee among the gods, O Lord, nor like thy works.
9 Mitundu yonse ya anthu imene munayipanga idzabwera ndi kudzalambira pamaso panu Ambuye; iwo adzabweretsa ulemerero pa dzina lanu.
All nations whom thou have made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and they shall glorify thy name.
10 Pakuti ndinu wamkulu ndipo mumachita zodabwitsa; Inu nokha ndiye Mulungu.
For thou are great, and do wondrous things. Thou alone are God.
11 Ndiphunzitseni njira yanu Yehova, ndipo ndidzayenda mʼchoonadi chanu; patseni mtima wosagawikana kuti ndilemekeze dzina lanu.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah, I will walk in thy truth. Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Ndidzakutamandani Ambuye Mulungu wanga, ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndidzalemekeza dzina lanu kwamuyaya.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
For great is thy loving kindness toward me, and thou have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 Inu Mulungu wanga, anthu odzikuza akundithira nkhondo; anthu ankhanza akufuna kundipha, amene salabadira za Inu.
O God, the proud have risen up against me, and a company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.
15 Koma Ambuye ndinu Mulungu wachifundo ndi wokoma mtima, wosakwiya msanga, wodzaza ndi chikondi ndi wokhulupirika.
But thou, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16 Tembenukirani kwa ine ndipo ndichitireni chifundo; perekani mphamvu zanu kwa mtumiki wanu ndipo pulumutsani mwana wa mdzakazi wanu.
O turn to me, and have mercy upon me. Give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Mundionetse chizindikiro cha ubwino wanu kuti adani achione ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi, pakuti Yehova mwandithandiza ndi kunditonthoza.
Show me a sign for good, that those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because thou, Jehovah, have helped me, and comforted me.
