Njimbo 144

Mambo banobokela Ndzimu kukunda
1Ngakukudziwe Yahwe, shongwe yangu,
ibo banodiya maboko angu kugwa,
ne zwinyala zwangu kugwa ngwa,
2Shongwe yangu kakale mbakililo yangu,
mbako yangu yakasima kakale ntjidzi wangu,
tjivikili tjangu, mubali ndowana dizhilo,
imwi munothama kuti bathu babe pasi kwangu.

Jobe 7:17, 18; Njimbo 8:4 Imwi Yahwe, nthu ini kwamungabe ne hanya naye,
kene nthu we nyama ne lopa ini,
wamungashwa munkumbula kene?
4Nthu unonga phepo
mazhuba awe anonga ntutshi unopinda.
5Webani zhuzhugwi kwenyu Yahwe,
ngono mudelukile pasi,
kuthani matombo kuti athungayile bhulubusi.
6Penyesani lupenyo gubapaladze,
tumidzilani misebe yenyu mubatate.
7Tambunudzani luboko gwenyu kudwa pezhugwi,
munditjidze mundiangule mu vula dzina masimba,
mu maboko e bataya,
8be milomo inoleba manyepkhwa,
ne maboko abo e luji aana malebeswa.
9Ndowomumbila lumbo gutshwa, imwi Ndzimu
ndowomulidzila dende le misungo ili gumi,
10Imwi munopa bomambo kukunda.
Imwi munogwila nlanda wenyu Dafite.
11Mundigwile mu thumo lisina ngoni,
kakale mundiangule mu maboko e bataya,
be milomo inoleba manyepkhwa,
kakale maboko abo e luji aana malebeswa.
12Dzene bakololo bedu mu butjetjana gwabo
banganga miti yakakula kwakapelela.
Bakololokadzi bedu bange phanda dze ndzibo,
dzakatemegwa mbako ye ng'umba ye bushe.
13Dzene matula edu angazhala,
azhadziwe nge zwilimwa zwakasiyasiyana,
dzene pkhwizi dzedu dzingazwala dzikabe zwiwulu,
dzikabe makumi e zwiwulu mu mafulo edu,
14dzene mangabe angasima kakweba ntolo unolema,
kuti kusitongobe ne ungathukila kene unotapiwa,
ngakusibe ne tjililo tje kuhwa zogwadza mu mikoto yedu!
15Kwakashatha ibabo
bathu banokombolegwa kwakajalo.
Kwakashatha bathu banotola
Yahwe bali Ndzimu wabo!
