42 Onani! Uyu ndi ntumiki wanga+ wakuti ndisamʼphedza!
Ine ndansankhula,+ pontho ndisakomerwa naye!+
2 Iye nkhabe kudzakhuwa peno kugaluza fala yace,
Pontho iye nkhabe kudzacitisa kuti fala yace ibveke mu nseu.+
Iye anadzacita pinthu mwakukhulupirika mbabweresa ulungami.+
4 Ceza cace nee cinadzathowa, pontho nee anadzanyedzwa mpaka akhazikise ulungami pa dziko yapantsi;+
Pontho ntsuwa zisadikhira mwambo wace.*
5 Yahova Mulungu wandimomwene,
Ule adacita kudzulu mbafuthulako,+
Ule adacita dziko yapantsi na pyonsene pinamera mwenemo,+
Ule anapereka muya kuna anthu anakhala mwenemo,+
Pontho ule anapereka nzimu* kuna ale anafamba mwenemo alonga:+
6 “Ine Yahova wakuti ndisacita pinthu mwaulungami ndakucemera;
Ine ndaphata djanja yako.
Ine ndinadzakutsidzikiza, pontho iwe unadzakhala ninga cibverano pakati pa ine na mbumba,+
Pontho ninga ceza kuna madzindza,+
7 Toera ufungule maso a maboliboli,+
Toera kubulusa munthu ali nkaidi,
Pontho toera kubulusa nkaidi ale adakhala pantsi ncidima.+
8 Ine ndine Yahova. Ineyi ndi dzina yanga;
Ine nkhabe kupereka mbiri yanga kuna alungu anango,
Pontho kusimbwa kwanga nee ndinakupereka kuna madzimunthu akusemwa.+
9 Onani, pinthu pidalonga ine pakutoma pyacitika;
Cincino, ndiri kukudziwisani pinthu pipswa.
Mbapidzati kucitika, ine ndisakudziwisani.”+
10 Imbirani Yahova nyimbo ipswa,+
Nsimbeni na nyimbo kutomera kunkhomo kwa dziko yapantsi,+
Nsimbeni imwe munanyindira bara na pinthu pyonsene piri mwenemo.
Imwe ntsuwa na pyonsene piri mwenemo, nsimbeni.+
Mbakhuwe mwakutsandzaya anthu anakhala mʼmiyala;
Iwo mbakhuwe kakamwe padzulu pa mapiri.
12 Mbapase mbiri Yahova,
Pontho mbansimbe mu ntsuwa.+
13 Yahova anadzabuluka ninga nyankhondo.+
Iye anakhala ninga nyankhondo wakuti ali dzololo toera kuenda kunkhondo.+
Iye anakhuwa, inde, iye anakhuwa kakamwe ninga ale anaenda kunkhondo;
Iye anadzapangizika kukhala wamphambvu kakamwe kupiringana anyamalwa ace.+
14 “Ine ndamatama mu ndzidzi uzinji.
Ine ndapitiriza kumatama mbandikhonda kulonga.
Ninga nkazi mu ndzidzi unabala iye,
Mu ndzidzi ubodzi ene ndinabulira, ndinasowa mphambvu, pontho ndinapuma peko-peko.
15 Ine ndinadzafudza mapiri na nthunda,
Pontho ndinadzaumisa pinthu pyonsene pidamera mwenemo.
Ine ndinadzacinja mikulo kudza ntsuwa,
Pontho ndinadzaumisa magowa adadzala na mitete.+
16 Ine ndinadzatsogolera maboliboli toera afambe na njira yakuti iwo nkhabe kuidziwa,+
Pontho ndinadzaacitisa kuti afambe mʼmiseu yakuti iwo nkhabe kuidziwa.+
Ndinadzacinja cidima kudza ceza iwo mbakaona,+
Pontho mbuto yakukumbika-kumbika ndinadzaicinja mbikhala yakuzwerera.+
Ine ndinadzaacitira pyenepi, pontho nee ndinadzaathawa.”
17 Ale ananyindira madzimunthu akusemwa
Anadzakakamizika toera kubwerera nduli, pontho anadzapasika manyadzo,
Ale analonga kuna madzimunthu a utale:* “Imwe ndimwe alungu athu.”+
19 Kodi alipo boliboli kusiyapo ntumiki wanga?
Kodi alipo munthu wakuti nkhabe kubva nee pangʼono pene ninga munthu adatuma ine?
Mbani wakuti nkhabe kuona nee pangʼono pene ninga ule adapasa ine nkhombo?
Mbani wakuti nkhabe kuona nee pangʼono pene ninga ntumiki wa Yahova?+
20 Iwe usaona pinthu pizinji, mbwenye nee usapionesesa.
Makutu ako afunguka, mbwenye iwe nkhabe kubva.+
21 Thangwi ya ulungami wace,
Yahova asafuna kakamwe kuti mwambo wace upaswe mbiri na kulemedzwa.
22 Iyi ndi mbumba yakuti yatapatirwa pinthu pyawo mbapibiwa;+
Onsene afungirika mphako, mbabisala nkaidi.+
Atapatirwa pinthu pyawo mbasowa munthu wakuapulumusa,+
Pontho iwo aberwa pinthu pyawo mbasowa munthu wakulonga kuti: “Pibwezeni!”
23 Mbani mwa imwe anafuna kubva pyenepi?
Mbani anafuna kubvesera mbabvesesa pinafuna kucitika ntsogolo?
24 Mbani adapereka Yakobe ninga pyakutapatwa,
Pontho mbani adapereka Izraeli kuna anyakutapata?
Kodi si Yahova tayu, ule adadawira ife?
Iwo akhonda kufamba munjira zace,
Pontho iwo akhonda kubvera mwambo wace.+
25 Natenepa Iye aakhutulira ukali wace,
Kuipirwa kwace na ukali wace wa nkhondo.+
Nkhondo yafudza pinthu pyonsene pikhali nʼkhundu mwawo, mbwenye iwo nee acita pinthu.+
Nkhondo ikhaapisa, mbwenye iwo nee akhatsalakana pyenepi.+
