Psalms 36
1 For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide, mtumiki wa Yehova. Uthenga uli mu mtima mwanga wonena za kuchimwa kwa munthu woyipa: Mu mtima mwake mulibe kuopa Mulungu.
2 For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
Pakuti iye mʼkuona kwake amadzinyenga yekha kwambiri, sazindikira kapena kudana ndi tchimo lake.
3 The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
Mawu a pakamwa pake ndi oyipa ndi achinyengo; iyeyo waleka kukhala wanzeru ndi kuchita zabwino.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
Ngakhale ali pa bedi pake amakonzekera zoyipa; iye amadzipereka yekha ku njira ya uchimo ndipo sakana cholakwa chilichonse.
5 O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
Chikondi chanu Yehova, chimafika ku mayiko a kumwamba, kukhulupirika kwanu mpaka ku mitambo.
6 Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgements are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.
Chilungamo chanu Mulungu chili ngati mapiri aakulu, chiweruzo chanu chili ngati kuzama kwakukulu. Yehova mumasunga munthu pamodzi ndi chinyama.
7 How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.
Chikondi chanu chosatha ndi chamtengowapatali! Otchuka pamodzi ndi anthu wamba pakati pa anthu amapeza pothawirapo mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu.
8 They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.
Iwo amadyerera zinthu zambiri za mʼnyumba yanu; Inu mumawapatsa chakumwa kuchokera mu mtsinje wanu wachikondwerero.
9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.
Pakuti kwa Inu kuli kasupe wamoyo; mʼkuwala kwanu ifenso timaona kuwala.
10 Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Pitirizani chikondi chanu pa iwo amene amakudziwani, chilungamo chanu kwa olungama mtima.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
Musalole kuti phazi la wodzikuza libwere kulimbana nane, kapena dzanja la oyipa kundithamangitsa.
12 There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
Onani momwe ochita zoyipa agonera atagwa, aponyeni pansi, kuti asathe kudzukanso!
