Psalms 3
1 A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who 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 help for him in God.” (Selah)
Ambiri akunena za ine kuti, “Mulungu sadzamupulumutsa.” (Sela)
3 But you, Yahweh, 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 cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
Kwa Yehova, Ine ndilira mofuwula ndipo Iye amandiyankha kuchokera ku phiri lake loyera. (Sela)
5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.
Ine ndimagona ndi kupeza tulo; ndimadzukanso chifukwa Yehova amandichirikiza.
6 I will not be afraid of tens of 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, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken 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 Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova. Madalitso akhale pa anthu anu. (Sela)
