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 by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Ndibiseni ku chiwembu cha anthu oyipa, ku gulu laphokoso la anthu ochita zoyipa.
Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
3 Iwo amanola malilime awo ngati malupanga, amaponya mawu awo olasa ngati mivi.
who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
4 Iwo amaponya mivi yawo ali pa malo wobisala kwa munthu wosalakwa; amamulasa modzidzimutsa ndi mopanda mantha.
to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
5 Iwo amalimbikitsana wina ndi mnzake pa chikonzero chawo choyipa, amayankhula zobisa misampha yawo; ndipo amati, “Adzayiona ndani?”
They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
6 Iwo amakonzekera zosalungama ndipo amati, “Takonza ndondomeko yabwino kwambiri!” Ndithu maganizo ndi mtima wa munthu ndi zachinyengo.
They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
7 Koma Mulungu adzawalasa ndi mivi; mwadzidzidzi adzakanthidwa.
But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
8 Iye adzatembenuza milomo yawoyo kuwatsutsa ndi kuwasandutsa bwinja; onse amene adzawaona adzagwedeza mitu yawo mowanyoza.
Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.
9 Anthu onse adzachita mantha; adzalengeza ntchito za Mulungu ndi kulingalira mozama zomwe Iye wazichita.
All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
10 Lolani wolungama akondwere mwa Yehova ndi kubisala mwa Iye, owongoka mtima onse atamande Iye!
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
