Psalms 27
1 BY DAVID. YHWH [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? YHWH [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
Salimo la Davide. Yehova ndiye kuwunika kwanga ndi chipulumutso changa; ndidzaopa yani? Yehova ndi linga la moyo wanga; ndidzachita mantha ndi yani?
2 When evildoers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
Pamene anthu oyipa abwera kudzalimbana nane kudzadya mnofu wanga, pamene adani anga ndi achiwembu andithira nkhondo, iwo adzapunthwa ndi kugwa.
3 Though a host encamps against me, My heart does not fear, Though war rises up against me, In this I [am] confident.
Ngakhale gulu lankhondo lindizinge, mtima wanga sudzaopa. Ngakhale nkhondo itayambika kulimbana nane, ngakhale nthawi imeneyo, ine ndidzalimbika mtima.
4 One [thing] I asked of YHWH—it I seek: My dwelling in the house of YHWH, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of YHWH, And to inquire in 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 hides me in a dwelling place in the day of evil, He hides me in a secret place of His tent, He raises me up on a rock.
Pakuti pa tsiku la msautso Iye adzanditeteza mʼmalo ake okhalamo; adzandibisa mʼkati mwa Nyumba yake ndi kukhazika ine pamwamba pa thanthwe.
6 And now my head is lifted up, Above my enemies—my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, indeed, I sing praise to YHWH.
Kotero mutu wanga udzakwezedwa kuposa adani anga amene andizungulira; pa Nyumba yake ndidzapereka nsembe ndi mfuwu wachimwemwe; ndidzayimba nyimbo kwa Yehova.
7 Hear, O YHWH, my voice—I call, And favor me, and answer me.
Imvani mawu anga pamene ndiyitana Inu Yehova mundichitire chifundo ndipo mundiyankhe.
8 My heart said to You, “They sought my face, Your face, O YHWH, I seek.”
Mtima wanga ukuti kwa Inu, “Funafuna nkhope yake!” Nkhope yanu Yehova ndidzayifunafuna.
9 Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant aside in anger, You have been my help. Do not leave me, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Musandibisire nkhope yanu, musamubweze mtumiki wanu mwamkwiyo; mwakhala muli thandizo langa. Musandikane kapena kunditaya, Inu Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga.
10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then YHWH gathers me.
Ngakhale abambo ndi amayi anga anditaya Yehova adzandisamala.
11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
Phunzitseni njira yanu Inu Yehova, munditsogolere mʼnjira yowongoka chifukwa cha ondizunza.
12 Do not give me to the will of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And they breathe out violence to me.
Musandipereke ku zokhumba za adani anga, pakuti mboni zambiri zauka kutsutsana nane ndipo zikundiopseza.
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of YHWH In the land of the living!
Ine ndikutsimikiza mtima za zimenezi; ndidzaona ubwino wa Yehova mʼdziko la anthu amoyo.
14 Look to YHWH—be strong, And He strengthens your heart, Indeed, look to YHWH!
Dikirani pa Yehova; khalani anyonga ndipo limbani mtima nimudikire Yehova.
