2 Samuel 22
1 And Dauid spake the woordes of this song vnto the Lord, what time the Lord had deliuered him out of the handes of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
Davide anayimbira Yehova nyimbo iyi pamene Yehovayo anamupulumutsa mʼdzanja la adani ake onse ndiponso mʼdzanja la Sauli.
2 And he sayd, The Lord is my rocke and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth mee.
Iye anati, “Yehova ndiye thanthwe langa, chitetezo changa ndi mpulumutsi wanga.
3 God is my strength, in him will I trust: my shielde, and the horne of my saluation, my hie tower and my refuge: my Sauiour, thou hast saued me from violence.
Mulungu wanga ndiye thanthwe langa, mʼmene ndimathawiramo, chishango changa ndi ndodo yachipulumutso changa. Iye ndi linga langa, pothawirapo panga ndi mpulumutsi wanga. Munandipulumutsa mʼmanja mwa anthu ankhanza.
4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
“Ndimayitana Yehova amene ndi woyenera matamando, ndipo ndapulumutsidwa kwa adani anga.
5 For the pangs of death haue compassed me: the floods of vngodlinesse haue made mee afrayd.
“Mafunde a imfa anandizinga; mitsinje yothamanga yachiwonongeko inandiopsa kwambiri.
Anandimanga ndi zingwe za ku manda; misampha ya imfa inalimbana nane. (Sheol h7585)
7 But in my tribulation did I call vpon the Lord, and crie to my God, and he did heare my voyce out of his temple, and my crie did enter into his eares.
“Mʼmasautso anga ndinapemphera kwa Yehova; ndinapemphera kwa Mulungu wanga. Iye ali mʼnyumba yake, anamva mawu anga; kulira kwanga kunafika mʼmakutu ake.
8 Then the earth trembled and quaked: the foundations of the heauens mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
“Dziko lapansi linanjenjemera ndi kuchita chivomerezi, maziko a miyamba anagwedezeka; ananjenjemera chifukwa Iye anakwiya.
9 Smoke went out at his nostrels, and consuming fire out of his mouth: coles were kindled thereat.
Mʼmphuno mwake munatuluka utsi; moto wonyeketsa unatuluka mʼkamwa mwake, makala amoto anali lawilawi mʼkamwa mwake.
10 He bowed the heauens also, and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
Iye anangʼamba thambo natsika pansi; pansi pa mapazi ake panali mitambo yakuda.
11 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and hee was seene vpon the winges of the winde.
Iye anakwera pa Kerubi ndi kuwuluka; nawuluka ndi mphepo mwaliwiro.
12 And hee made darkenesse a Tabernacle round about him, euen the gatherings of waters, and the cloudes of the ayre.
Iye anapanga mdima kukhala chofunda chake, mitambo yakuda ya mlengalenga.
13 At the brightnesse of his presence the coles of fire were kindled.
Mʼkuwala kumene kunali pamaso pake munkachokera makala amoto alawilawi.
14 The Lord thundred from heauen, and the most hie gaue his voyce.
Yehova anabangula kumwamba ngati bingu, mawu a Wammwambamwamba anamveka ponseponse.
15 He shot arrowes also, and scattered them: to wit, lightning, and destroyed them.
Iye anaponya mivi yake, nabalalitsa adani ake, ndi zingʼaningʼani zake anawagonjetsa.
16 The chanels also of the sea appeared, euen the foundations of the worlde were discouered by the rebuking of the Lord, and at the blast of the breath of his nostrels.
Zigwa za mʼnyanja zinaonekera poyera, ndipo maziko a dziko lapansi anakhala poyera, Yehova atabangula mwaukali, pamene mpweya wamphamvu unatuluka mʼmphuno mwake.
17 He sent from aboue, and tooke me: hee drewe me out of many waters.
“Ali kumwamba, Iye anatambalitsa dzanja lake ndipo anandigwira; anandivuwula mʼmadzi ozama.
18 He deliuered me from my strong enemie, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Anandipulumutsa kwa mdani wanga wamphamvu, adani anga amene anali amphamvu kuposa ine.
19 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie, but the Lord was my stay,
Adaniwo analimbana nane pamene ndinali pa mavuto, koma Yehova anali thandizo langa.
20 And brought me foorth into a large place: he deliuered me, because he fauoured me.
Iye anandipititsa kumalo otakasuka; anandipulumutsa chifukwa amakondwera nane.
21 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse: according to the purenesse of mine handes he recompensed me.
“Yehova wandithandiza molingana ndi chilungamo changa; molingana ndi makhalidwe anga abwino, Iye wandipulumutsa.
22 For I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
Pakuti ine ndinatsata njira za Yehova; ndilibe mlandu wochoka pamaso pa Mulungu wanga.
23 For all his lawes were before me, and his statutes: I did not depart therefrom.
Malamulo ake onse ali pamaso panga, sindinasiye malangizo ake.
24 I was vpright also towarde him, and haue kept me from my wickednesse.
Ndakhala moyo wosalakwa pamaso pake ndipo ndakhala ndi kupewa tchimo.
25 Therefore the Lord did reward me according to my righteousnesse, according to my purenesse before his eyes.
Yehova wandipatsa mphotho molingana ndi chilungamo changa, molingana ndi makhalidwe anga abwino pamaso pake.
26 With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
“Kwa wokhulupirika, Inu mumaonetsa kukhulupirika kwanu, kwa anthu amakhalidwe abwino, Inu mumaonetsanso makhalidwe abwino,
27 With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the frowarde thou wilt shew thy selfe frowarde.
Kwa woyera mtima, Inu mumaonetsa kuyera mtima kwanu, koma kwa anthu achinyengo mumaonetsanso kunyansidwa nawo.
28 Thus thou wilt saue the poore people: but thine eyes are vpon the hautie to humble them.
Inu mumapulumutsa anthu odzichepetsa, koma maso anu amatsutsana ndi odzikuza ndipo mumawatsitsa.
29 Surely thou art my light, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkenes.
Inu Yehova, ndinu nyale yanga; Yehova wasandutsa mdima wanga kukhala kuwunika.
30 For by thee haue I broken through an hoste, and by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall.
Ndi thandizo lanu nditha kulimbana ndi gulu la ankhondo, ndi Mulungu wanga nditha kuchita zosatheka ndi munthu.
31 The way of God is vncorrupt: the word of the Lord is tryed in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
“Kunena za Mulungu, zochita zake ndi zangwiro; mawu a Yehova alibe cholakwika. Iye ndi chishango kwa onse amene amathawira kwa iye.
32 For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie, saue our God?
Mulungu wina ndi uti wofanana nanu Yehova? Ndipo ndani amene ndi Thanthwe kupatula Mulungu wathu?
33 God is my strength in battel, and maketh my way vpright.
Ndi Mulungu amene anandipatsa mphamvu ndi kulungamitsa njira yanga.
34 He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and hath set me vpon mine hie places.
Iye amasandutsa mapazi anga kukhala ngati ambawala yayikazi; Iye amandithandiza kuyimirira pamwamba pa mapiri.
35 He teacheth mine handes to fight, so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
Iye amaphunzitsa manja anga kuchita nkhondo; manja anga amatha kuthyola uta wachitsulo.
36 Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy louing kindnesse hath caused me to increase.
Inu mundipatsa ine chishango chanu cha chigonjetso; mumawerama kuti mundikweze.
37 Thou hast inlarged my steppes vnder me, and mine heeles haue not slid.
Inu mwalimbitsa njira yanga kuti ndiyende bwino, kuti mapazi anga asaterereke.
38 I haue pursued mine enemies and destroyed them, and haue not turned againe vntill I had consumed them.
“Ine ndinathamangitsa adani anga ndi kuwakantha; sindinabwerere mpaka iwo atawonongedwa.
39 Yea, I haue consumed them and thrust them through, and they shall not arise, but shall fall vnder my feete.
Ndinawakantha kotheratu, ndipo sanathe kudzukanso; Iwo anagwera pansi pa mapazi anga.
40 For thou hast girded me with power to battell, and them that arose against me, hast thou subdued vnder me.
Inu munandipatsa ine mphamvu yochitira nkhondo; munagwaditsa adani anga pa mapazi anga.
41 And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Inu muchititsa kuti adani anga atembenuke ndi kuthawa; ndipo ndinawononga adani anga.
42 They looked about, but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but he answered them not.
Iwo anafuwula kupempha thandizo, koma panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe owapulumutsa. Analirira kwa Yehova, koma sanawayankhe.
43 Then did I beate them as small as the dust of the earth: I did treade them flat as the clay of the streete, and did spread them abroad.
Ine ndinawaperesa ngati fumbi la pa dziko lapansi; ndinawasinja ndipo ndinawapondaponda ngati matope a mʼmisewu.
44 Thou hast also deliuered me from the contentions of my people: thou hast preserued me to be the head ouer nations: the people which I knewe not, doe serue me.
“Inu mwandipulumutsa mʼmanja mwa mitundu ya anthu; Inu mwandisunga kuti ndikhale mtsogoleri wa anthu a mitundu ina. Anthu amene sindikuwadziwa ali pansi pa ulamuliro wanga.
45 Strangers shalbe in subiection to me: assoone as they heare, they shall obey me.
Alendo amadzipereka okha pamaso panga; akangomva za ine, amandigonjera.
46 Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
Iwo onse anataya mtima; anatuluka mʼmalinga awo akunjenjemera.
47 Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength: and God, euen the force of my saluation be exalted.
“Yehova ndi wamoyo! Litamandidwe Thanthwe langa. Akuzike Mulungu, Thanthwe, Mpulumutsi wanga!
48 It is God that giueth me power to reuenge me, and subdue the people vnder me,
Iye ndi Mulungu amene amabwezera chilango, amene amayika anthu a mitundu yonse pansi pa ulamuliro wanga,
49 And rescueth me from mine enemies: (thou also hast lift me vp from them that rose against me, thou hast deliuered me from the cruell man.
amene amandimasula mʼmanja mwa adani anga. Inu munandikuza kuposa adani anga; munandilanditsa mʼmanja mwa anthu ankhanza.
50 Therefore I will praise thee, O Lord amog the nations, and will sing vnto thy Name)
Choncho ine ndidzakutamandani Inu Yehova, pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina; ndidzayimba nyimbo zotamanda dzina lanu.
51 He is the tower of saluation for his King, and sheweth mercie to his anointed, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
“Iye amapereka chipambano chachikulu kwa mfumu yake, amaonetsa kukoma mtima kwa wodzozedwa wake, kwa Davide ndi zidzukulu zake kwamuyaya.”
