Psalms 28
1 [By David.] To you, Jehovah, I call. My rock, do not be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
Salimo la Davide. Kwa Inu ine ndiyitana, Yehova ndinu Thanthwe langa; musakhale osamva kwa ine. Pakuti mukapitirira kukhala chete, ndidzakhala ngati iwo amene atsikira ku dzenje.
2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
Imvani kupempha chifundo kwanga pomwe ndikuyitana kwa Inu kuti mundithandize, pomwe ndikukweza manja anga kuloza ku malo anu oyeretsetsa.
3 Do not draw me away with the wicked, with evildoers who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
Musandikokere kutali pamodzi ndi anthu oyipa, pamodzi ndi iwo amene amachita zoyipa, amene amayankhula mwachikondi ndi anzawo koma akusunga chiwembu mʼmitima mwawo.
4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
Muwabwezere chifukwa cha zochita zawo ndi ntchito zawo zoyipa; abwezereni chifuwa cha zimene manja awo achita ndipo mubweretse pa iwo zimene zowayenera.
5 Because they do not regard the works of Jehovah, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
Popeza iwowo sakhudzidwa ndi ntchito za Yehova, ndi zimene manja ake anazichita, Iye adzawakhadzula ndipo sadzawathandizanso.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
Matamando apite kwa Yehova, popeza Iye wamva kupempha chifundo kwanga.
7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
Yehova ndiye mphamvu yanga ndi chishango changa; mtima wanga umadalira Iye, ndipo Ine ndathandizidwa. Mtima wanga umalumphalumpha chifukwa cha chimwemwe ndipo ndidzayamika Iye mʼnyimbo.
8 Jehovah is the strength of his people. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
Yehova ndi mphamvu ya anthu ake, linga la chipulumutso kwa wodzozedwa wake.
9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
Pulumutsani anthu anu ndipo mudalitse cholowa chanu; mukhale mʼbusa wawo ndipo muwakweze kwamuyaya.
