< Psalms 3 >
1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF HIS SON ABSALOM. YHWH, how my distresses have multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
Salimo la Davide. Atathawa mwana wake Abisalomu. Inu Yehova, achulukadi adani anga! Achulukadi amene andiwukira!
2 Many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” (Selah)
Ambiri akunena za ine kuti, “Mulungu sadzamupulumutsa.” (Sela)
3 And You, O YHWH, [are] a shield for me, My glory, and lifter up of my head.
Koma Inu Yehova, ndinu chishango chonditeteza, Inu mwandiveka ulemerero ndipo mwanditukula.
4 My voice [is] to YHWH: I call and He answers me from His holy hill, (Selah)
Kwa Yehova, Ine ndilira mofuwula ndipo Iye amandiyankha kuchokera ku phiri lake loyera. (Sela)
5 I have lain down, and I sleep, I have awoken, for YHWH sustains me.
Ine ndimagona ndi kupeza tulo; ndimadzukanso chifukwa Yehova amandichirikiza.
6 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That they have set against me all around.
Sindidzaopa adani anga osawerengeka amene abwera kulimbana nane kuchokera ku madera onse.
7 Rise, O YHWH! Save me, my God! For You have struck all my enemies [on] the cheek. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Dzukani, Inu Yehova! Pulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wanga. Akantheni adani anga onse pa msagwada; gululani mano a anthu oyipa.
8 This salvation [is] of YHWH; Your blessing [is] on Your people! (Selah)
Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova. Madalitso akhale pa anthu anu. (Sela)
