Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Akanapanda kukhala mbali yathu Yehova, anene tsono Israeli,

2 If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

akanapanda kukhala mbali yathu Yehova, potiwukira anthuwo,

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

iwo atatipsera mtima, akanatimeza amoyo;

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

chigumula chikanatimiza, mtsinje ukanatikokolola,

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

madzi a mkokomo akanatikokolola.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

Atamandike Yehova, amene sanalole kuti tikhale chakudya cha mano awo.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

Moyo wathu wawonjoka ngati mbalame yokodwa mu msampha wa mlenje; msampha wathyoka, ndipo ife tapulumuka.

8 Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

Thandizo lathu lili mʼdzina la Yehova wolenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
