< Psalms 57 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.] Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Musawononge.” Ndakatulo ya Davide, pamene anathawa Sauli kupita ku phanga. Mundichitire chifundo, Inu Mulungu mundichitire chifundo, pakuti mwa Inu moyo wanga umathawiramo. Ndidzathawira mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu mpaka chiwonongeko chitapita.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
Ine ndikufuwulira kwa Mulungu Wammwambamwamba, kwa Mulungu amene amakwaniritsa cholinga chake pa ine.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
Mulungu amanditumizira kuchokera kumwamba ndi kundipulumutsa, kudzudzula iwo amene akundithamangitsa kwambiri. Mulungu amatumiza chikondi chake ndi kukhulupirika kwake.
4 My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Ine ndili pakati pa mikango, ndagona pakati pa zirombo zolusa; anthu amene mano awo ndi milomo yawo ndi mivi, malilime awo ndi malupanga akuthwa.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above all the earth.
Mukwezekedwe Inu Mulungu, kuposa mayiko onse akumwamba; mulole kuti ulemerero wanu ukhale pa dziko lonse lapansi.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. (Selah)
Iwo anatchera mapazi anga ukonde ndipo ndinawerama pansi mosautsidwa. Anakumba dzenje mʼnjira yanga koma agweramo okha mʼmenemo.
7 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Mtima wanga ndi wokhazikika, Inu Mulungu mtima wanga ndi wokhazikika. Ndidzayimba nyimbo, nyimbo yake yamatamando.
8 Wake up, my glory. Wake up, psaltery and harp. I will wake up the dawn.
Dzuka moyo wanga! Dzukani zeze ndi pangwe! Ndidzadzuka mʼbandakucha.
9 I will give thanks to you, YHWH, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
Ndidzakutamandani Ambuye, pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndidzayimba za Inu pakati pa mayiko.
10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
Pakuti chikondi chanu nʼchachikulu, kufikira ku mayiko akumwamba; kukhulupirika kwanu kwafika ku mitambo.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
Mukwezekedwe Inu Mulungu kuposa mayiko akumwamba, mulole kuti ulemerero wanu ukhale pa dziko lonse lapansi.
