Masalimo 64
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Ndimvereni Mulungu pomwe ndikunena madandawulo anga; tetezani moyo wanga ku chiopsezo cha mdani.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) You keep my life from the fear of an enemy,
2 Ndibiseni ku chiwembu cha anthu oyipa, ku gulu laphokoso la anthu ochita zoyipa.
Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
3 Iwo amanola malilime awo ngati malupanga, amaponya mawu awo olasa ngati mivi.
Who sharpened their tongue as a sword, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.
4 Iwo amaponya mivi yawo ali pa malo wobisala kwa munthu wosalakwa; amamulasa modzidzimutsa ndi mopanda mantha.
To shoot the perfect in secret places, Suddenly they shoot him, and do not fear.
5 Iwo amalimbikitsana wina ndi mnzake pa chikonzero chawo choyipa, amayankhula zobisa misampha yawo; ndipo amati, “Adzayiona ndani?”
They strengthen an evil thing for themselves, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, “Who looks at it?”
6 Iwo amakonzekera zosalungama ndipo amati, “Takonza ndondomeko yabwino kwambiri!” Ndithu maganizo ndi mtima wa munthu ndi zachinyengo.
They search out perverse things, “We perfected a searching search,” And the inward part of man, and the heart, [are] deep.
7 Koma Mulungu adzawalasa ndi mivi; mwadzidzidzi adzakanthidwa.
And God shoots them [with] an arrow, Their wounds have been sudden,
8 Iye adzatembenuza milomo yawoyo kuwatsutsa ndi kuwasandutsa bwinja; onse amene adzawaona adzagwedeza mitu yawo mowanyoza.
And they cause him to stumble, Their own tongue [is] against them, Every looker on them flees away.
9 Anthu onse adzachita mantha; adzalengeza ntchito za Mulungu ndi kulingalira mozama zomwe Iye wazichita.
And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And they have wisely considered His deed.
10 Lolani wolungama akondwere mwa Yehova ndi kubisala mwa Iye, owongoka mtima onse atamande Iye!
The righteous rejoice in YHWH, And have trusted in Him, And all the upright of heart boast!
