< Psalms 64 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Ndimvereni Mulungu pomwe ndikunena madandawulo anga; tetezani moyo wanga ku chiopsezo cha mdani.
2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
Ndibiseni ku chiwembu cha anthu oyipa, ku gulu laphokoso la anthu ochita zoyipa.
3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
Iwo amanola malilime awo ngati malupanga, amaponya mawu awo olasa ngati mivi.
4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
Iwo amaponya mivi yawo ali pa malo wobisala kwa munthu wosalakwa; amamulasa modzidzimutsa ndi mopanda mantha.
5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"
Iwo amalimbikitsana wina ndi mnzake pa chikonzero chawo choyipa, amayankhula zobisa misampha yawo; ndipo amati, “Adzayiona ndani?”
6 They plot injustice; they hide a well-conceived plan. Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.
Iwo amakonzekera zosalungama ndipo amati, “Takonza ndondomeko yabwino kwambiri!” Ndithu maganizo ndi mtima wa munthu ndi zachinyengo.
7 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
Koma Mulungu adzawalasa ndi mivi; mwadzidzidzi adzakanthidwa.
8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.
Iye adzatembenuza milomo yawoyo kuwatsutsa ndi kuwasandutsa bwinja; onse amene adzawaona adzagwedeza mitu yawo mowanyoza.
9 All humankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.
Anthu onse adzachita mantha; adzalengeza ntchito za Mulungu ndi kulingalira mozama zomwe Iye wazichita.
10 The righteous shall be glad in YHWH, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him.
Lolani wolungama akondwere mwa Yehova ndi kubisala mwa Iye, owongoka mtima onse atamande Iye!
