Pemphero la Munthu Wosalakwa

Pemphero la Davide.

Davide akupempha kuti amvedwe ngati munthu wosalakwa, mtima wake utasanthulidwa usiku ndipo mapazi ake osaterereka. Pamene akusakidwa ndi mkango wobisalira, akupempha kuti asungidwe ngati mwanadiso, ndipo akuyang'ana kupitirira adani ake, ku kuona nkhope ya Atate wake.

Chaputala 17.

Imvani mlandu wolungama, Atate wanga; tcherani khutu ku kulira kwanga; mvetserani pemphero langa lochokera pa milomo yopanda chinyengo. Chiweruzo changa chituluke pamaso panu; maso anu aone zolungama.

Mwasanthula mtima wanga, mwandifufuza usiku, mwandiyesa ndipo simunapeze kanthu; ndatsimikiza kuti pakamwa panga sipadzachimwa. Kunena za ntchito za anthu, ndi mau a milomo yanu ndadzisunga kutali ndi njira za anthu ankhanza. Mayendedwe anga agwiritsitsa njira zanu; mapazi anga sanaterereke.

Ndikuitana Inu, pakuti mudzandiyankha, Atate wanga; nditcherereni khutu; imvani mau anga. Onetsani kudabwitsa kwa chikondi chanu cha pangano, Inu amene mumapulumutsa ndi dzanja lanu lamanja iwo amene amathawira kwa Inu kuwathawa adani awo. Ndisungeni ngati mwana wa diso lanu; ndibiseni mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu, kuchoka kwa oyipa amene amandithira nkhondo, adani anga opha amene andizungulira.

Atseka mitima yawo yolimba; pakamwa pawo pamayankhula modzikuza. Atilondola ndipo tsopano atizungulira ife; akhazikitsa maso awo kuti atigwetse pansi. Iye ali ngati mkango wa njala wofuna kung'amba nyama yake, ngati mwana wa mkango wogona mobisalira.

Dzukani, Atate wanga! Mulimbaneni naye, mugwetseni! Pulumutsani moyo wanga mwa oyipa ndi lupanga lanu, ndi dzanja lanu, Atate wanga, kuwachotsa anthu otere—kwa anthu a dziko lino amene mphotho yawo ili m'moyo uno. Mumadzaza mimba zawo ndi zimene mwazisunga; ana awo ali ndi zambiri, ndipo amasiya chuma chawo chochuluka kwa ana awo aang'ono.

Koma ine, ndidzaona nkhope yanu mu chilungamo; pamene ndidzadzuka, ndidzakhutitsidwa poona maonekedwe anu.
