Kutulutsidwa M'matope
Kwa mtsogoleri wa oimba. Salmo la Davide.
Likuyamba ndi chipulumutso chimene chaperekedwa kale: wokwezedwa m'matope, mapazi atakhazikitsidwa pa thanthwe, nyimbo yatsopano. Kenako likutembenukira kutsogolo, popeza kumvera kumafunidwa kuposa nsembe — ndipo likutha akadali m'mavuto, machimo osawerengeka, akupempha Atate wake kuti afulumire.
40 1Ndinadikirira Atate wathu moleza mtima; Iye anatembenukira kwa ine namva kulira kwanga. 2Iye anandikweza kundichotsa m'dzenje la chiwonongeko, m'matope okhuthala; anaika mapazi anga pa thanthwe, nakhazikitsa mayendedwe anga.
3Iye anaika nyimbo yatsopano m'kamwa mwanga, nyimbo yotamanda Atate wathu. Ambiri adzaona nadzaopa, nadzakhulupirira Atate wathu. 4Wodala ndi munthu amene amadalira Atate wathu, amene satembenukira kwa odzikuza, kwa iwo amene amathamangira zabodza.
5Ndi zambiri, Atate wanga, zodabwitsa zimene Inu mwazichita, ndi maganizo anu pa ife; palibe amene angafanane ndi Inu. Ndikanalengeza ndi kuzinena, zikanakhala zambiri zoposa kuwerengeka. 6Nsembe ndi chopereka Inu simunazifune, koma Inu mwanditsegula makutu anga. Nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe ya machimo Inu simunazipemphe. 7Pamenepo ndinati, “Taonani ndili pano, ndabwera—mu mpukutu wa buku zalembedwa za ine.”
8Ndikufuna kuchita chifuniro chanu, Atate wanga; lamulo lanu lili mkati mwa mtima wanga. 9Ndalalikira uthenga wabwino wa chilungamo mu msonkhano waukulu; sindinatseke milomo yanga, Atate wanga, monga mudziwa Inu.
10Sindinabise chilungamo chanu mkati mwa mtima wanga; ndanena za kukhulupirika kwanu ndi chipulumutso chanu. Sindinabisire chikondi cha pangano lanu ndi choonadi chanu kwa msonkhano waukulu. 11Musaletse chifundo chanu chachikondi kwa ine, Atate wanga; chikondi cha pangano lanu ndi choonadi chanu zindisunge nthawi zonse.
12Pakuti masautso osawerengeka azungulira ine; machimo anga andigwira, ndipo sindingathe kuona. Ndi ochuluka koposa tsitsi la pamutu panga, ndipo mtima wanga walefuka. 13Chonde, Atate wanga, mundipulumutse ine; Atate wanga, fulumirani mundithandize. 14Onse amene afuna kuchotsa moyo wanga achite manyazi ndi kunyozedwa; iwo amene afuna chiwonongeko changa abwezeredwe m'mbuyo mwa manyazi.
15Iwo amene amanena kwa ine, “Haa! Haa!” achite mantha chifukwa cha manyazi awo. 16Koma onse amene afunafuna Inu asangalale nakondwere mwa Inu; iwo amene amakonda chipulumutso chanu anene nthawi zonse, “Ndi wamkulu Atate wathu!” 17Koma ine ndine wosauka ndi wosowa; Atate Wolamulira aganizire za ine. Inu ndinu thandizo langa ndi mpulumutsi wanga; musachedwe, Atate wanga.
