Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. “Andizunza kwambiri kuyambira ubwana wanga,” anene tsono Israeli;

2 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

“Andizunza kwambiri kuyambira ubwana wanga, koma sanandipambane.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

Anthu otipula analima pa msana panga ndipo anapangapo mizere yayitali:

4 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

Koma Yehova ndi wolungama; Iye wandimasula ku zingwe za anthu oyipa.”

5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

Onse amene amadana ndi Ziyoni abwezedwe pambuyo mwamanyazi.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

Akhale ngati udzu womera pa denga la nyumba, umene umafota usanakule;

7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

sungadzaze manja a owumweta kapena manja a omanga mitolo.

8 Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'

Odutsa pafupi asanene kuti, “Dalitso la Yehova lili pa inu; tikukudalitsani mʼdzina la Yehova.”
