Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.
139 Inu Yehova, mwandisanthula
ndipo mukundidziwa.
2 Inu mumadziwa pamene ndikhala pansi ndi pamene ndidzuka;
mumazindikira maganizo anga muli kutali.
3 Mumapenyetsetsa pamene ndikutuluka ndi kugona kwanga;
mumadziwa njira zanga zonse.
4 Mawu asanatuluke pa lilime langa
mumawadziwa bwinobwino, Inu Yehova.
5 Mumandizinga kumbuyo ndi kutsogolo komwe;
mwasanjika dzanja lanu pa ine.
6 Nzeru zimenezi ndi zopitirira nzeru zanga,
ndi zapamwamba kuti ine ndizipeze.
13 Pakuti Inu munalenga za mʼkati mwanga;
munandiwumba pamodzi mʼmimba mwa amayi anga.
14 Ndimakuyamikani chifukwa ndinapangidwa mochititsa mantha ndi modabwitsa;
ntchito zanu ndi zodabwitsa,
zimenezi ndimazidziwa bwino lomwe.
15 Mapangidwe anga sanabisike pamaso panu
pamene ndimapangidwa mʼmalo achinsinsi,
pamene ndinkawumbidwa mwaluso mʼmimba ya amayi anga.
16 Maso anu anaona thupi langa lisanawumbidwe.
Masiku onse amene anapatsidwa kwa ine, analembedwa mʼbuku lanu
asanayambe nʼkuwerengedwa komwe.
17 Zolingalira zanu pa ine ndi zamtengowapatali, Inu Mulungu,
ndi zosawerengeka ndithu!
18 Ndikanaziwerenga,
zikanakhala zochuluka kuposa mchenga;
pamene ndadzuka, ndili nanube.

Lumo silidzapita pa mutu pake.”

Choncho Eli anaganiza kuti anali ataledzera. 14 Ndipo anamufunsa Hana kuti, “Kodi mukhala chiledzerere mpaka liti? Pitani, ayambe wakuchokani vinyo mwamwayo.”
15 Koma Hana anayankha kuti, “Sichoncho mbuye wanga. Ndakhala ndikumukhuthulira Yehova chisoni changa. Sindinamwe vinyo kapena chakumwa choledzeretsa chilichonse, popeza nthawi yonseyi ndakhala ndikupereka kwa Yehova nkhawa yayikulu ndi mavuto anga. 16 Musaganize kuti mtumiki wanu ndi kukhala mkazi wachabechabe. Ine ndakhala ndi kupereka nkhawa yanga yayikulu ndi zowawa zanga.”
17 Eli anayankha, “Pitani mu mtendere, ndipo Mulungu wa Israeli akupatseni zimene mwamupemphazo.”
18 Hana anati, “Mundikomerebe mtima mtumiki wanune.” Kenaka anachoka nakadya, ndipo sanaonekenso wachisoni.
