Psalms 27
1 The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector 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 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
Pamene anthu oyipa abwera kudzalimbana nane kudzadya mnofu wanga, pamene adani anga ndi achiwembu andithira nkhondo, iwo adzapunthwa ndi kugwa.
3 If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.
Ngakhale gulu lankhondo lindizinge, mtima wanga sudzaopa. Ngakhale nkhondo itayambika kulimbana nane, ngakhale nthawi imeneyo, ine ndidzalimbika mtima.
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit 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 he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
Pakuti pa tsiku la msautso Iye adzanditeteza mʼmalo ake okhalamo; adzandibisa mʼkati mwa Nyumba yake ndi kukhazika ine pamwamba pa thanthwe.
6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm 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, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.
Imvani mawu anga pamene ndiyitana Inu Yehova mundichitire chifundo ndipo mundiyankhe.
8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
Mtima wanga ukuti kwa Inu, “Funafuna nkhope yake!” Nkhope yanu Yehova ndidzayifunafuna.
9 Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
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 left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.
Ngakhale abambo ndi amayi anga anditaya Yehova adzandisamala.
11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
Phunzitseni njira yanu Inu Yehova, munditsogolere mʼnjira yowongoka chifukwa cha ondizunza.
12 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
Musandipereke ku zokhumba za adani anga, pakuti mboni zambiri zauka kutsutsana nane ndipo zikundiopseza.
13 I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
Ine ndikutsimikiza mtima za zimenezi; ndidzaona ubwino wa Yehova mʼdziko la anthu amoyo.
14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
Dikirani pa Yehova; khalani anyonga ndipo limbani mtima nimudikire Yehova.
