< Psalms 3 >
1 [A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] YHWH, how my adversaries have increased. Many rise up against me.
Salimo la Davide. Atathawa mwana wake Abisalomu. Inu Yehova, achulukadi adani anga! Achulukadi amene andiwukira!
2 Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no salvation for him in God." (Selah)
Ambiri akunena za ine kuti, “Mulungu sadzamupulumutsa.” (Sela)
3 But you, YHWH, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
Koma Inu Yehova, ndinu chishango chonditeteza, Inu mwandiveka ulemerero ndipo mwanditukula.
4 I cried out to YHWH with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
Kwa Yehova, Ine ndilira mofuwula ndipo Iye amandiyankha kuchokera ku phiri lake loyera. (Sela)
5 I lay down and slept. I awoke, for YHWH sustains me.
Ine ndimagona ndi kupeza tulo; ndimadzukanso chifukwa Yehova amandichirikiza.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
Sindidzaopa adani anga osawerengeka amene abwera kulimbana nane kuchokera ku madera onse.
7 Arise, YHWH. Save me, my God. For you slap all my enemies in the face. You break the teeth of the wicked.
Dzukani, Inu Yehova! Pulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wanga. Akantheni adani anga onse pa msagwada; gululani mano a anthu oyipa.
8 Salvation belongs to YHWH. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova. Madalitso akhale pa anthu anu. (Sela)
