M'manja Mwanu Ndipereka
Kwa mtsogoleri wa oimba. Salmo la Davide.
Pamene akusakidwa ndi kunong'onezedwa mpaka anansi ake akumupewa mumsewu, Davide akudziona woiwalika ngati mphika wosweka. Komabe akunena kuti nthawi zake zili m'dzanja la Atate wake ndipo akupereka mzimu wake kumeneko, pokumbukira kuti anamvedwa kamodzi mumzinda wozingidwa.
31 1Mwa Inu, Atate wanga, ndithawiramo; ndisachititsidwe manyazi ku nthawi zonse; mundipulumutse mwa chilungamo chanu. 2Munditcherere khutu lanu; mundipulumutse msanga. Mukhale thanthwe langa lothawirako, linga lolimba kuti mundipulumutse. 3Pakuti Inu ndinu thanthwe langa ndi linga langa; chifukwa cha dzina lanu mumanditsogolera ndi kundiongolera. 4Mumandimasula ku ukonde umene andibisira, pakuti Inu ndinu pothawira panga.
5M'manja mwanu ndipereka mzimu wanga; mwandiwombola, Atate wanga, wokhulupirika ndi woona. a a v5 Yesu anapemphera mawu awa pamene anali kufa — “Atate, m'manja mwanu ndipereka mzimu wanga” (Luka 23:46) — nadzipereka yekha kwa Atate amene salmo ili limamkhulupirira. 6Ndimadana nawo amene amamamatira mafano achabechabe, koma ine ndimadalira Atate wanga. 7Ndidzakondwa ndi kusangalala mu chikondi chanu cha pangano, pakuti mwaona masautso anga; mwazindikira zovuta za moyo wanga, 8ndipo simunandipereke m'manja mwa mdani; mwaika mapazi anga pa malo otakasuka. 9Mundichitire chisomo, Atate wanga, pakuti ndili pa mavuto; maso anga atopa ndi chisoni, pamodzi ndi moyo wanga ndi thupi langa. 10Pakuti moyo wanga watha ndi chisoni, ndipo zaka zanga zatha ndi kudandaula; mphamvu zanga zatheratu chifukwa cha tchimo langa, ndipo mafupa anga afooka. 11Chifukwa cha adani anga onse ndakhala chinthu chonyozeka, makamaka kwa anansi anga, ndi chochititsa mantha kwa odziwana nane; amene andiona m'misewu amandithawa. 12Ndayiwalika ngati munthu wakufa, wosakumbukiridwa; ndakhala ngati mphika wophwanyika.
13Pakuti ndimamva kunong'ona kwa anthu ambiri—mantha ponseponse— pamene akugwirizana kundiwukira, nakonzekera kutenga moyo wanga. 14Koma ine ndimadalira Inu, Atate wanga; ndinena kuti, “Inu ndinu Atate wanga.” 15Nthawi zanga zili m'manja mwanu; mundipulumutse ku dzanja la adani anga ndi kwa ondizunza. 16Nkhope yanu iwale pa mtumiki wanu; mundipulumutse mu chikondi chanu cha pangano. 17Atate wanga, ndisachititsidwe manyazi, pakuti ndikuyitana Inu; oyipa achititsidwe manyazi ndi kukhala chete m'manda.
18Milomo yabodza ikhale chete, imene imayankhula modzikuza kutsutsa wolungama, mwa kunyada ndi kunyoza. 19Taonani kuchuluka kwa ubwino wanu, umene mwausungira amene amakuopani, umene mwawuonetsa kwa amene amathawira mwa Inu, kuti onse aone.
20Mu mthunzi wa pamaso panu mumawabisa ku ziwembu za anthu; mumawasunga bwino mu malo anu obisalamo ku malilime onyoza. 21Atate wanga atamandidwe, pakuti andionetsa chikondi chake chodabwitsa cha pangano pamene ndinali mu mzinda wozunguliridwa ndi adani.
22Ndinati mu mantha anga, “Ndachotsedwa pamaso panu.” Koma munamva kulira kwanga kopempha chifundo pamene ndinakuyitanani kuti mundithandize. 23Kondani Atate wathu, inu nonse okhulupirika ake. Atate wathu amasunga okhulupirika, koma amabwezera kwathunthu munthu amene amachita modzikuza. 24Limbani mtima, ndipo khalani olimba, inu nonse amene mumadikira Atate wathu.
