< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
Salimo la Davide. Atathawa mwana wake Abisalomu. Inu Yehova, achulukadi adani anga! Achulukadi amene andiwukira!
2 Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
Ambiri akunena za ine kuti, “Mulungu sadzamupulumutsa.” (Sela)
3 But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Koma Inu Yehova, ndinu chishango chonditeteza, Inu mwandiveka ulemerero ndipo mwanditukula.
4 With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
Kwa Yehova, Ine ndilira mofuwula ndipo Iye amandiyankha kuchokera ku phiri lake loyera. (Sela)
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
Ine ndimagona ndi kupeza tulo; ndimadzukanso chifukwa Yehova amandichirikiza.
6 I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
Sindidzaopa adani anga osawerengeka amene abwera kulimbana nane kuchokera ku madera onse.
7 Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
Dzukani, Inu Yehova! Pulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wanga. Akantheni adani anga onse pa msagwada; gululani mano a anthu oyipa.
8 Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova. Madalitso akhale pa anthu anu. (Sela)
