Masalimo 73

¹Mulungu ndi wabwino ndithu kwa Israeli,

²Koma kunena za ine, mapazi anga anali pafupi kuterereka;

³Pakuti ndinkachitira nsanje odzitamandira,

⁴Iwo alibe zosautsa;

⁵Saona mavuto monga anthu ena;

⁶Nʼchifukwa chake kunyada kuli monga mkanda wa mʼkhosi mwawo;

⁷Mʼmitima yawo yokhota mumachokera zolakwa;

⁸Iwowo amanyogodola ndi kumayankhula zoyipa;

⁹Pakamwa pawo pamayankhula monyoza Mulungu kumwamba

¹⁰Nʼchifukwa chake anthu awo amapita kwa iwowo

¹¹Iwo amati, “Kodi Mulungu angadziwe bwanji?

¹²Umu ndi mmene oyipa alili;

¹³Ndithudi ine ndawusunga pachabe mtima wanga woyera;

¹⁴Tsiku lonse ndapeza mavuto;

¹⁵Ndikanati, “Ndidzayankhula motere,”

¹⁶Pamene ndinayesa kuti ndimvetse zonsezi,

¹⁷kufikira nditalowa mʼmalo opatulika a Mulungu;

¹⁸Zoonadi Inu munawayika pa malo woterera;

¹⁹Mwamsangamsanga iwo amawonongedwa,

²⁰Monga loto pamene wina adzuka,

²¹Pamene mtima wanga unasautsidwa

²²ndinali wopusa ndi wosadziwa;

²³Komabe ineyo ndili ndi Inu nthawi zonse;

²⁴Inu mumanditsogolera ndi malangizo anu

²⁵Kodi kumwamba ndili ndi yani kupatula Inu?

²⁶Thupi ndi mtima wanga zitha kufowoka,

²⁷Iwo amene ali kutali ndi Inu adzawonongeka;

²⁸Koma kunena za Ine ndi kwabwino kukhala pafupi ndi Mulungu.
