Psalms 40
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Mofatsa ndinadikira Yehova Iye anatembenukira kwa ine ndipo anamva kulira kwanga.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay; and he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
Ananditulutsa mʼdzenje lachitayiko, mʼthope ndi mʼchithaphwi; Iye anakhazikitsa mapazi anga pa thanthwe ndipo anandipatsa malo oyimapo olimba.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Iye anayika nyimbo yatsopano mʼkamwa mwanga, nyimbo yamatamando kwa Mulungu wanga. Ambiri adzaona, nadzaopa ndipo adzakhulupirira Yehova.
4 Blessed is the man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Ndi wodala munthu amakhulupirira Yehova; amene sayembekezera kwa odzikuza, kapena kwa amene amatembenukira kwa milungu yabodza.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be set in order unto thee; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Zambiri, Yehova Mulungu wanga, ndi zodabwitsa zimene Inu mwachita. Zinthu zimene munazikonzera ife palibe amene angathe kukuwerengerani. Nditati ndiyankhule ndi kufotokozera, zidzakhala zambiri kuzifotokoza.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
Nsembe ndi zopereka Inu simuzifuna, koma makutu anga mwawatsekula; zopereka zopsereza ndi zopereka chifukwa cha tchimo Inu simunazipemphe.
7 Then said I, Lo, I am come; in the roll of the book it is written of me:
Kotero ndinati, “Ndili pano, ndabwera. Mʼbuku mwalembedwa za ine.
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart.
Ndikufuna kuchita chifuniro chanu, Inu Mulungu wanga; lamulo lanu lili mu mtima mwanga.”
9 I have published righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I will not refrain my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
Ndikulalikira uthenga wa chilungamo chanu mu msonkhano waukulu; sinditseka milomo yanga monga mukudziwa Inu Yehova.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
Sindibisa chilungamo chanu mu mtima mwanga; ndinayankhula za kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chipulumutso chanu. Ine sindiphimba chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu pa msonkhano waukulu.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
Musandichotsere chifundo chanu Yehova; chikondi chanu ndi choonadi chanu zinditeteze nthawi zonse.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head, and my heart hath failed me.
Pakuti mavuto osawerengeka andizungulira; machimo anga andigonjetsa, ndipo sindingathe kuona. Alipo ambiri kuposa tsitsi la mʼmutu mwanga, ndipo mtima wanga ukufowoka mʼkati mwanga.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: make haste to help me, O LORD.
Pulumutseni Yehova; Bwerani msanga Yehova kudzandithandiza.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt.
Onse amene akufunafuna kuchotsa moyo wanga achititsidwe manyazi ndi kusokonezedwa; onse amene amakhumba chiwonongeko changa abwezedwe mwamanyazi.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that say unto me, Aha, Aha.
Iwo amene amanena kwa ine kuti, “Hee! Hee!” abwerere akuchita manyazi.
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
Koma iwo amene amafunafuna Inu akondwere ndi kusangalala mwa Inu; iwo amene amakonda chipulumutso chanu nthawi zonse anene kuti, “Yehova akwezeke!”
17 But I am poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
Komabe Ine ndine wosauka ndi wosowa; Ambuye andiganizire. Inu ndinu thandizo langa ndi wondiwombola wanga; Inu Mulungu wanga, musachedwe.
