Psalms 56

1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresses me,

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Njiwa pa Mtengo wa Thundu wa Kutali.” Mikitamu ya Davide, pamene Afilisti anamugwira ku Gati. Mundichitire chifundo Inu Mulungu, pakuti anthu akundithamangitsa kwambiri; tsiku lonse akundithira nkhondo.

2 My enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,

Ondinyoza akundithamangitsa tsiku lonse, ambiri akumenyana nane monyada.

3 [In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.

Ndikachita mantha ndimadalira Inu.

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I do not fear what flesh does to me.

Mwa Mulungu, amene mawu ake ine ndimatamanda, mwa Mulungu ine ndimadaliramo; sindidzachita mantha. Kodi munthu amene amafa angandichite chiyani?

5 All the day they wrest my words, All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,

Tsiku lonse amatembenuza mawu anga; nthawi zonse amakonza zondivulaza.

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Iwo amakambirana, amandibisalira, amayangʼanitsitsa mayendedwe anga ndipo amakhala ndi chidwi chofuna kuchotsa moyo wanga.

7 They escape by iniquity, In anger put down the peoples, O God.

Musalole konse kuti athawe; mu mkwiyo wanu Mulungu mugwetse mitundu ya anthu.

8 You have counted my wandering, You place my tear in Your bottle, Are they not in Your scroll?

Mulembe za kulira kwanga, mulembe chiwerengero cha misozi yanga mʼbuku lanu. Kodi zimenezi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku lanulo?

9 Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

Adani anga adzabwerera mʼmbuyo pamene ndidzalirira kwa Inu. Pamenepo ndidzadziwa kuti Mulungu ali ku mbali yanga.

10 In God I praise the word, In YHWH I praise the word.

Mwa Mulungu amene mawu ake ndimawatamanda, mwa Yehova amene mawu ake ndimawatamanda,

11 In God I trusted, I do not fear what man does to me,

mwa Mulungu ine ndimadalira ndipo sindidzachita mantha. Kodi munthu angandichite chiyani?

12 On me, O God, [are] Your vows, I repay thank-offerings to You.

Ndiyenera kuchita zomwe ndinalumbira kwa Mulungu; ndidzapereka nsembe zanga zachiyamiko kwa inu.

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!

Pakuti mwawombola moyo wanga ku imfa ndi mapazi anga kuti ndingagwe, kuti ndiyende pamaso pa Mulungu mʼkuwala kwa moyo.
