Psalms 64

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Ndimvereni Mulungu pomwe ndikunena madandawulo anga; tetezani moyo wanga ku chiopsezo cha mdani.

2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

Ndibiseni ku chiwembu cha anthu oyipa, ku gulu laphokoso la anthu ochita zoyipa.

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,

Iwo amanola malilime awo ngati malupanga, amaponya mawu awo olasa ngati mivi.

4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

Iwo amaponya mivi yawo ali pa malo wobisala kwa munthu wosalakwa; amamulasa modzidzimutsa ndi mopanda mantha.

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

Iwo amalimbikitsana wina ndi mnzake pa chikonzero chawo choyipa, amayankhula zobisa misampha yawo; ndipo amati, “Adzayiona ndani?”

6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

Iwo amakonzekera zosalungama ndipo amati, “Takonza ndondomeko yabwino kwambiri!” Ndithu maganizo ndi mtima wa munthu ndi zachinyengo.

7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

Koma Mulungu adzawalasa ndi mivi; mwadzidzidzi adzakanthidwa.

8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

Iye adzatembenuza milomo yawoyo kuwatsutsa ndi kuwasandutsa bwinja; onse amene adzawaona adzagwedeza mitu yawo mowanyoza.

9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

Anthu onse adzachita mantha; adzalengeza ntchito za Mulungu ndi kulingalira mozama zomwe Iye wazichita.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.

Lolani wolungama akondwere mwa Yehova ndi kubisala mwa Iye, owongoka mtima onse atamande Iye!
