Psalms 27
1 [A Psalm] of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Salimo la Davide. Yehova ndiye kuwunika kwanga ndi chipulumutso changa; ndidzaopa yani? Yehova ndi linga la moyo wanga; ndidzachita mantha ndi yani?
2 When evil-doers drew near against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
Pamene anthu oyipa abwera kudzalimbana nane kudzadya mnofu wanga, pamene adani anga ndi achiwembu andithira nkhondo, iwo adzapunthwa ndi kugwa.
3 Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
Ngakhale gulu lankhondo lindizinge, mtima wanga sudzaopa. Ngakhale nkhondo itayambika kulimbana nane, ngakhale nthawi imeneyo, ine ndidzalimbika mtima.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
Chinthu chimodzi chokha chimene ndipempha kwa Yehova, ichi ndi chimene ndidzachifunafuna: kuti ndikhale mʼNyumba ya Yehova masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndi kuyangʼana kukongola kwa Yehova, ndi kumufunafuna Iye mʼNyumba yake.
5 For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
Pakuti pa tsiku la msautso Iye adzanditeteza mʼmalo ake okhalamo; adzandibisa mʼkati mwa Nyumba yake ndi kukhazika ine pamwamba pa thanthwe.
6 And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing even sing psalms to the Lord.
Kotero mutu wanga udzakwezedwa kuposa adani anga amene andizungulira; pa Nyumba yake ndidzapereka nsembe ndi mfuwu wachimwemwe; ndidzayimba nyimbo kwa Yehova.
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and listen to me.
Imvani mawu anga pamene ndiyitana Inu Yehova mundichitire chifundo ndipo mundiyankhe.
8 My heart said to you, I have diligently sought your face: your face, O Lord, I will seek.
Mtima wanga ukuti kwa Inu, “Funafuna nkhope yake!” Nkhope yanu Yehova ndidzayifunafuna.
9 Turn not your face away from me, turn not you away from your servant in anger: be you my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.
Musandibisire nkhope yanu, musamubweze mtumiki wanu mwamkwiyo; mwakhala muli thandizo langa. Musandikane kapena kunditaya, Inu Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga.
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.
Ngakhale abambo ndi amayi anga anditaya Yehova adzandisamala.
11 Teach me, O Lord, in your way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
Phunzitseni njira yanu Inu Yehova, munditsogolere mʼnjira yowongoka chifukwa cha ondizunza.
12 Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
Musandipereke ku zokhumba za adani anga, pakuti mboni zambiri zauka kutsutsana nane ndipo zikundiopseza.
13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Ine ndikutsimikiza mtima za zimenezi; ndidzaona ubwino wa Yehova mʼdziko la anthu amoyo.
14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened: yes wait on the Lord.
Dikirani pa Yehova; khalani anyonga ndipo limbani mtima nimudikire Yehova.
