Psalms 4
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by string instruments. When I call, please answer me, God who vindicates me. When I was hemmed in by troubles, you gave me a way out. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe wa zida za zingwe. Salimo la Davide. Ndiyankheni pamene ndiyitana Inu, Inu Mulungu wa chilungamo changa. Pumulitseni ku zowawa zanga; chitireni chifundo ndi kumva pemphero langa.
2 How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you love what is worthless and tell lies? (Selah)
Anthu inu, mpaka liti mudzakhala mukusandutsa ulemerero wanga kukhala manyazi? Mpaka liti mudzakonda zachabe ndi kufuna milungu yabodza? (Sela)
3 You should realize that the Lord shows special favor to the faithful. The Lord listens when I call to him.
Dziwani kuti Yehova wadziyikira padera anthu okhulupirika; Yehova adzamva pamene ndidzamuyitana.
4 Be in awe, do not sin. When you rest, reflect on this, and keep quiet! (Selah)
Kwiyani koma musachimwe; pamene muli pa mabedi anu, santhulani mitima yanu ndi kukhala chete. (Sela)
5 Offer sacrifices with the right attitude. Trust in the Lord.
Perekani nsembe zolungama ndipo dalirani Yehova.
6 Many say, “Who is going to show us some good?” Lord, may your face shine upon us.
Ambiri akufunsa kuti, “Ndani angationetse chabwino chilichonse?” Kuwunika kwa nkhope yanu kutiwalire, Inu Yehova.
7 The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
Inu mwadzaza mtima wanga ndi chimwemwe chachikulu kuposa kuchuluka kwa tirigu wawo ndi vinyo watsopano.
8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you, Lord, alone keep me safe.
Ine ndidzagona ndi kupeza tulo mwamtendere, pakuti Inu nokha, Inu Yehova, mumandisamalira bwino.
