‏ Psalms 37

Salimo la Davide.

1Usamavutike chifukwa cha anthu oyipa
kapena kuchitira nsanje amene akuchita cholakwa;
2pakuti monga udzu iwo adzafota msanga,
ngati mbewu zobiriwira adzanyala msanga.

3Khulupirira Yehova ndipo uzichita zabwino;
khazikika mʼdziko ndi kutsata zokhulupirika.
4Udzikondweretse wekha mwa Yehova
ndipo Iye adzakupatsa zokhumba za mtima wako.

5Pereka njira yako kwa Yehova;
dalira Iye ndipo Iyeyo adzachita izi:
6Iye adzachititsa chilungamo chako kuwala ngati mʼbandakucha,
chiweruzo chako ngati dzuwa la masana.

7Khala chete pamaso pa Yehova ndipo umudikire mofatsa;
usavutike pamene anthu apambana mʼnjira zawo,
pamene iwo achita zinthu zawo zoyipa.

8Pewa kupsa mtima ndipo tembenuka kuchoka ku ukali,
usavutike chifukwa zimenezi zimatsogolera ku zoyipa.
9Pakuti anthu oyipa adzachotsedwa,
koma iwo amene amayembekeza mwa Yehova adzalandira dziko.

10Kwa kanthawi oyipa sadzapezekanso;
ngakhale muwafunefune, sadzapezekanso.
11Koma ofatsa adzalandira dziko
ndipo adzasangalala ndi mtendere waukulu.

12Oyipa amakonza chiwembu kutsutsana ndi olungama
ndipo amawakukutira mano;
13koma Ambuye amaseka oyipa
pakuti Iye amadziwa kuti tsiku lawo likubwera.

14Oyipa amasolola lupanga
ndi kupinda uta
kugwetsa osauka ndi osowa,
kupha iwo amene njira zawo ndi zolungama.
15Koma malupanga awo analasa mitima yawo yomwe,
ndipo mauta awo anathyoka.

16Zabwino zochepa zimene olungama ali nazo
ziposa chuma cha anthu oyipa ambiri;
17pakuti mphamvu ya oyipa idzasweka,
koma Yehova amasunga olungama.

18Masiku a anthu osalakwa amadziwika ndi Yehova,
ndipo cholowa chawo chidzakhala mpaka muyaya.
19Pa nthawi ya mavuto iwo sadzafota;
mʼmasiku a njala adzakhala ndi zinthu zambiri.

20Koma oyipa adzawonongeka;
adani a Yehova adzakhala ngati kukongola kwa kuthengo,
iwo adzazimirira ngati utsi.

21Oyipa amabwereka ndipo sabweza
koma olungama amapereka mowolowamanja.
22Iwo amene Yehova amawadalitsa adzalandira dziko,
koma amene Iye amawatemberera adzachotsedwa.

23Ngati Yehova akondwera ndi njira ya munthu,
amakhazikitsa mayendedwe ake;
24ngakhale atapunthwa sadzagwa,
pakuti Yehova amamutchinjiriza ndi dzanja lake.

25Ine ndinali wamngʼono ndipo tsopano ndakalamba
koma sindinaonepo olungama akusiyidwa
kapena ana awo akupempha chakudya.
26Iwo ndi owolowamanja nthawi zonse ndipo amabwereketsa mwaufulu;
ana awo adzadalitsika.

27Tembenuka kuchoka ku zoyipa ndipo chita zabwino;
pamenepo udzakhazikika mʼdziko kwamuyaya.
28Pakuti Yehova amakonda wolungama
ndipo sadzasiya okhulupirika ake.

Iwo adzatetezedwa kwamuyaya,
koma zidzukulu za oyipa zidzachotsedwa;
29olungama adzalandira dziko
ndipo adzakhazikikamo kwamuyaya.

30Pakamwa pa munthu wolungama pamayankhula za nzeru,
ndipo lilime lake limayankhula zolungama.
31Lamulo la Mulungu wake lili mu mtima mwake;
mapazi ake saterereka.

32Oyipa amabisala kudikira olungama;
kufunafuna miyoyo yawoyo;
33koma Yehova sadzawasiya pansi pa mphamvu yawo
kapena kuti atsutsidwe pamene abweretsedwa pa milandu.

34Khulupirira Yehova,
ndipo sunga njira yake;
Iye adzakukweza ndipo udzalandira dziko kuti likhale lako;
udzaona anthu oyipa akuwonongeka.

35Ine ndinaona munthu woyipa ndi munthu wopanda chifundo
akupeza bwino ngati mtengo wobiriwira pa nthaka ya makolo ake.
36Koma sanachedwe kumwalira ndipo sanaonekenso;
ngakhale ndinamuyangʼanayangʼana, sanapezekenso.

37Ganizira za munthu wosalakwa, yangʼanitsitsa munthu wolungama;
udzaona kuti ali ndi tsogolo labwino ndipo ali ndi zidzukulu zambiri.
38Koma anthu ochimwa adzawonongeka;
iwowo pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zawo zomwe.

39Chipulumutso cha olungama chimachokera kwa Yehova;
Iye ndiye linga lawo pa nthawi ya masautso.
40Yehova amawathandiza ndi kuwalanditsa;
Iye amawalanditsa kwa oyipa ndi kuwapulumutsa,
pakuti amathawira kwa Iye.
