Psalms 64

1 To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: 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 secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Ndibiseni ku chiwembu cha anthu oyipa, ku gulu laphokoso la anthu ochita zoyipa.

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:

Iwo amanola malilime awo ngati malupanga, amaponya mawu awo olasa ngati mivi.

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Iwo amaponya mivi yawo ali pa malo wobisala kwa munthu wosalakwa; amamulasa modzidzimutsa ndi mopanda mantha.

5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; 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 search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep.

Iwo amakonzekera zosalungama ndipo amati, “Takonza ndondomeko yabwino kwambiri!” Ndithu maganizo ndi mtima wa munthu ndi zachinyengo.

7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

Koma Mulungu adzawalasa ndi mivi; mwadzidzidzi adzakanthidwa.

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

Iye adzatembenuza milomo yawoyo kuwatsutsa ndi kuwasandutsa bwinja; onse amene adzawaona adzagwedeza mitu yawo mowanyoza.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Anthu onse adzachita mantha; adzalengeza ntchito za Mulungu ndi kulingalira mozama zomwe Iye wazichita.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Lolani wolungama akondwere mwa Yehova ndi kubisala mwa Iye, owongoka mtima onse atamande Iye!
