Kuna nyakutsogolera nyimbo. Nyimbo ya Dhavidhi.
139 Yahova, imwe musandidinga, pontho musandidziwa.+
2 Imwe musadziwa ndingakhala pantsi, pontho ndingalamuka.+
Nakutali, imwe musadziwa pinanyerezera ine.+
3 Imwe musandiona ndingafamba, pontho ndingagona;
Imwe musadziwa mwadidi njira zanga zonsene.+
5 Imwe mwandizungulira mʼmakhundu onsene, kutsogolo kwanga na nduli mwanga;
Pontho imwe mwandiphata na djanja yanu.
6 Mphyakunentsa kakamwe kwa ine kudziwa pinthu pyenepi pyonsene.
Nakuti mphyakudzumisa kakamwe, ine nkhabe kwanisa kupibvesesa.+
7 Ndinenda kupi ine toera kuthawa nzimu wanu,
Pontho ndinenda kupi ine toera ndithawe nkhope yanu?+
8 Ndingaenda kudzulu, imwe munadzakhala kweneko,
9 Ndingamburuka mbandipita mu ceza cinaoneka kunja kungaca
Toera kuenda kakhala kunkhomo kwa bara,
10 Ngakhale kweneko djanja yanu inanditsogolera,
Pontho imwe munanditsidzikiza na djanja yanu yamadyo.+
11 Ine ndingalonga: “Cidima cinandibisa!”
Penepo cidima ciri nʼkhundu mwanga cinadzakhala ceza.
12 Cidima nee cinadzakhala cakupswipa kakamwe kuna imwe,
Mbwenye cidima cinadzakhala cakucena ninga ceza ca masikati;+
Kuna imwe, cidima ndi sawasawa na ceza.+
14 Ine ndisakusimbani thangwi mwandicita mwadidi kakamwe, munjira yakudzumisa.+
Mabasa anu ndi akudzumisa,+
Ine ndisadziwa mwadidi pyenepi.
15 Magogodo anga nee akhali akubisika kuna imwe
Mu ndzidzi udacitwa ine ncibisobiso,
16 Maso anu andiona mʼmimba mwa mai wanga mbandidzati kubalwa;
Makhundu anga onsene alembwa mʼbukhu mwanu
Thangwi ya ntsiku zidacitwa iwo,
Iwo alembwa ngakhale mbadzati kucitwa.
17 Pinthu pinanyerezera imwe ndi pyakufunika kakamwe kuna ine!+
Mulungu, pinanyerezera imwe ndi pizinji kakamwe!+
18 Ndingayesera kupilengesa, ipyo ndi pizinji kakamwe kupiringana matcetca.+
Ndingalamuka ndisapitiriza na imwe.*+
19 Mulungu, ndaphata miyendo, phani anthu akuipa!+
Penepo, mapanga* anakhala kutali na ine.
20 Iwo asalonga pinthu pyakuipa thangwi ya imwe na cifuno cakuipa;*
Iwo ndi anyamalwa anu akuti asaphatisira dzina yanu mwapezi.+
21 Yahova, kodi ine nee ndisaida ale anakuidani?+
Kodi ine nee ndisanyanyasirwa na ale anakusandukirani?+
22 Ine ndisaida kakamwe anthu anewa;+
Kuna ine, iwo adzakhala anyamalwa andimomwene.
