Old/New Testament
10 Nʼchifukwa chiyani Yehova mwayima patali?
Chifukwa chiyani mukudzibisa nokha pa nthawi ya mavuto?
2 Mwa kunyada kwake munthu woyipa asaka wofowoka,
amene akodwa mʼnjira zimene iye wakonza.
3 Iye amatamandira zokhumba za mu mtima wake;
amadalitsa aumbombo ndi kuchitira chipongwe Yehova.
4 Mwa kunyada kwake woyipa safunafuna Mulungu;
mʼmaganizo ake wonse mulibe malo a Mulungu.
5 Zinthu zake zimamuyendera bwino;
iye ndi wamwano ndipo malamulo anu ali nawo kutali;
amanyogodola adani ake onse.
6 Iye amadziyankhulira kuti, “Palibe chimene chidzandigwedeze.
Ndidzakhala wokondwa nthawi zonse ndipo sindidzakhala pa mavuto.”
7 Mʼkamwa mwake mwadzaza matemberero, mabodza ndi zoopseza;
zovutitsa ndi zoyipa zili pansi pa lilime lake.
8 Iye amabisalira anthu pafupi ndi midzi,
kuchokera pobisalapo amapha anthu osalakwa,
amayangʼanayangʼana mwachinsinsi anthu oti awawononge.
9 Amabisalira anthu ngati mkango pa zitsamba.
Amabisalira kuti agwire anthu opanda mphamvu;
amagwira anthu opanda mphamvu ndi kuwakokera mu ukonde wake.
10 Anthuwo amawapondaponda ndipo amakomoka;
amakhala pansi pa mphamvu zake.
11 Iye amati mu mtima mwake, “Mulungu wayiwala,
wabisa nkhope yake ndipo sakuonanso.”
12 Dzukani Yehova! Onetsani dzanja lanu Inu Mulungu.
Musayiwale anthu opanda mphamvu.
13 Nʼchifukwa chiyani munthu woyipa amachitira chipongwe Mulungu?
Chifukwa chiyani amati mu mtima mwake,
“Iye sandiyimba mlandu?”
14 Komatu Inu Mulungu, mumazindikira mavuto ndi zosautsa,
mumaganizira zochitapo kanthu.
Wovutikayo amadzipereka yekha kwa Inu pakuti
Inu ndi mthandizi wa ana amasiye.
15 Thyolani dzanja la woyipitsitsa ndi la munthu woyipa;
muzengeni mlandu chifukwa cha zoyipa zake
zimene sizikanadziwika.
16 Yehova ndi Mfumu kwamuyaya;
mitundu ya anthu idzawonongeka kuchoka mʼdziko lake.
17 Mumamva Inu Yehova, zokhumba za osautsidwa;
mumawalimbikitsa ndipo mumamva kulira kwawo.
18 Kuteteza ana amasiye ndi oponderezedwa,
ndi cholinga chakuti munthu amene ali wa dziko lapansi asaopsenso.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.
11 Mwa Yehova ine ndimathawiramo.
Nanga mungathe bwanji kunena kwa ine kuti,
“Thawira ku phiri lako ngati mbalame.
2 Pakuti taona oyipa akunga mauta awo;
ayika bwino mivi yawo pa zingwe za uta,
pobisala pawo kuti alase
olungama mtima.
3 Tsono ngati maziko awonongeka,
olungama angachite chiyani?”
4 Yehova ali mʼNyumba yake yoyera;
Yehova ali pa mpando wake waufumu kumwamba.
Iye amayangʼanitsitsa ana a anthu;
maso ake amawayesa.
5 Yehova amayesa olungama,
koma moyo wake umadana ndi oyipa,
amene amakonda zachiwawa.
6 Iye adzakhuthulira pa oyipa
makala amoto ndi sulufule woyaka;
mphepo yotentha idzakhala yowayenera.
7 Pakuti Yehova ndi wolungama,
Iye amakonda chilungamo;
ndipo anthu olungama adzaona nkhope yake.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Monga mwa mayimbidwe seminiti. Salimo la Davide.
12 Thandizeni Yehova pakuti palibe munthu wokhulupirika;
okhulupirika akusowa pakati pa anthu.
2 Aliyense amanamiza mʼbale wake;
ndi pakamwa pawo pabodza amayankhula zachinyengo.
3 Inu Yehova tsekani milomo yonse yachinyengo
ndi pakamwa paliponse podzikuza.
4 Pakamwa pamene pamati, “Ife tidzapambana ndi kuyankhula kwathu;
pakamwapa ndi pathupathu, tsono mbuye wathu ndani?”
5 “Chifukwa cha kuponderezedwa kwa anthu opanda mphamvu
ndi kubuwula kwa anthu osowa,
Ine ndidzauka tsopano,” akutero Yehova,
“Ndidzawateteza kwa owazunza.”
6 Ndipo mawu a Yehova ndi angwiro
monga siliva oyengedwa mʼngʼanjo yadothi,
oyengedwa kasanu nʼkawiri.
7 Inu Yehova mudzatitchinjiriza ndipo
mudzatiteteza kwa anthu otere kwamuyaya.
8 Oyipa amangoyendayenda ponseponse
anthu akamayamikira zochita zawo.
