Masalimo 64
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Ndimvereni Mulungu pomwe ndikunena madandawulo anga; tetezani moyo wanga ku chiopsezo cha mdani.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.
2 Ndibiseni ku chiwembu cha anthu oyipa, ku gulu laphokoso la anthu ochita zoyipa.
Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.
3 Iwo amanola malilime awo ngati malupanga, amaponya mawu awo olasa ngati mivi.
They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,
4 Iwo amaponya mivi yawo ali pa malo wobisala kwa munthu wosalakwa; amamulasa modzidzimutsa ndi mopanda mantha.
so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.
5 Iwo amalimbikitsana wina ndi mnzake pa chikonzero chawo choyipa, amayankhula zobisa misampha yawo; ndipo amati, “Adzayiona ndani?”
They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”
6 Iwo amakonzekera zosalungama ndipo amati, “Takonza ndondomeko yabwino kwambiri!” Ndithu maganizo ndi mtima wa munthu ndi zachinyengo.
They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.
7 Koma Mulungu adzawalasa ndi mivi; mwadzidzidzi adzakanthidwa.
But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.
8 Iye adzatembenuza milomo yawoyo kuwatsutsa ndi kuwasandutsa bwinja; onse amene adzawaona adzagwedeza mitu yawo mowanyoza.
They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
9 Anthu onse adzachita mantha; adzalengeza ntchito za Mulungu ndi kulingalira mozama zomwe Iye wazichita.
All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.
10 Lolani wolungama akondwere mwa Yehova ndi kubisala mwa Iye, owongoka mtima onse atamande Iye!
The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
