2 Samuel 22
1 And David speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
Davide anayimbira Yehova nyimbo iyi pamene Yehovayo anamupulumutsa mʼdzanja la adani ake onse ndiponso mʼdzanja la Sauli.
2 and he saith: 'Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
Iye anati, “Yehova ndiye thanthwe langa, chitetezo changa ndi mpulumutsi wanga.
3 My God [is] my rock — I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!
Mulungu wanga ndiye thanthwe langa, mʼmene ndimathawiramo, chishango changa ndi ndodo yachipulumutso changa. Iye ndi linga langa, pothawirapo panga ndi mpulumutsi wanga. Munandipulumutsa mʼmanja mwa anthu ankhanza.
4 The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.
“Ndimayitana Yehova amene ndi woyenera matamando, ndipo ndapulumutsidwa kwa adani anga.
5 When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
“Mafunde a imfa anandizinga; mitsinje yothamanga yachiwonongeko inandiopsa kwambiri.
Anandimanga ndi zingwe za ku manda; misampha ya imfa inalimbana nane. (Sheol h7585)
7 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His ears,
“Mʼmasautso anga ndinapemphera kwa Yehova; ndinapemphera kwa Mulungu wanga. Iye ali mʼnyumba yake, anamva mawu anga; kulira kwanga kunafika mʼmakutu ake.
8 And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!
“Dziko lapansi linanjenjemera ndi kuchita chivomerezi, maziko a miyamba anagwedezeka; ananjenjemera chifukwa Iye anakwiya.
9 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.
Mʼmphuno mwake munatuluka utsi; moto wonyeketsa unatuluka mʼkamwa mwake, makala amoto anali lawilawi mʼkamwa mwake.
10 And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
Iye anangʼamba thambo natsika pansi; pansi pa mapazi ake panali mitambo yakuda.
11 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
Iye anakwera pa Kerubi ndi kuwuluka; nawuluka ndi mphepo mwaliwiro.
12 And He setteth darkness Round about Him — tabernacles, Darkness of waters — thick clouds of the skies.
Iye anapanga mdima kukhala chofunda chake, mitambo yakuda ya mlengalenga.
13 From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!
Mʼkuwala kumene kunali pamaso pake munkachokera makala amoto alawilawi.
14 Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice.
Yehova anabangula kumwamba ngati bingu, mawu a Wammwambamwamba anamveka ponseponse.
15 And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them;
Iye anaponya mivi yake, nabalalitsa adani ake, ndi zingʼaningʼani zake anawagonjetsa.
16 And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
Zigwa za mʼnyanja zinaonekera poyera, ndipo maziko a dziko lapansi anakhala poyera, Yehova atabangula mwaukali, pamene mpweya wamphamvu unatuluka mʼmphuno mwake.
17 He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
“Ali kumwamba, Iye anatambalitsa dzanja lake ndipo anandigwira; anandivuwula mʼmadzi ozama.
18 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.
Anandipulumutsa kwa mdani wanga wamphamvu, adani anga amene anali amphamvu kuposa ine.
19 They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,
Adaniwo analimbana nane pamene ndinali pa mavuto, koma Yehova anali thandizo langa.
20 And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.
Iye anandipititsa kumalo otakasuka; anandipulumutsa chifukwa amakondwera nane.
21 Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
“Yehova wandithandiza molingana ndi chilungamo changa; molingana ndi makhalidwe anga abwino, Iye wandipulumutsa.
22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
Pakuti ine ndinatsata njira za Yehova; ndilibe mlandu wochoka pamaso pa Mulungu wanga.
23 For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.
Malamulo ake onse ali pamaso panga, sindinasiye malangizo ake.
24 And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
Ndakhala moyo wosalakwa pamaso pake ndipo ndakhala ndi kupewa tchimo.
25 And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
Yehova wandipatsa mphotho molingana ndi chilungamo changa, molingana ndi makhalidwe anga abwino pamaso pake.
26 With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,
“Kwa wokhulupirika, Inu mumaonetsa kukhulupirika kwanu, kwa anthu amakhalidwe abwino, Inu mumaonetsanso makhalidwe abwino,
27 With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.
Kwa woyera mtima, Inu mumaonetsa kuyera mtima kwanu, koma kwa anthu achinyengo mumaonetsanso kunyansidwa nawo.
28 And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.
Inu mumapulumutsa anthu odzichepetsa, koma maso anu amatsutsana ndi odzikuza ndipo mumawatsitsa.
29 For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.
Inu Yehova, ndinu nyale yanga; Yehova wasandutsa mdima wanga kukhala kuwunika.
30 For by Thee I run — a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
Ndi thandizo lanu nditha kulimbana ndi gulu la ankhondo, ndi Mulungu wanga nditha kuchita zosatheka ndi munthu.
31 God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him.
“Kunena za Mulungu, zochita zake ndi zangwiro; mawu a Yehova alibe cholakwika. Iye ndi chishango kwa onse amene amathawira kwa iye.
32 For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?
Mulungu wina ndi uti wofanana nanu Yehova? Ndipo ndani amene ndi Thanthwe kupatula Mulungu wathu?
33 God — my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way;
Ndi Mulungu amene anandipatsa mphamvu ndi kulungamitsa njira yanga.
34 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,
Iye amasandutsa mapazi anga kukhala ngati ambawala yayikazi; Iye amandithandiza kuyimirira pamwamba pa mapiri.
35 Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,
Iye amaphunzitsa manja anga kuchita nkhondo; manja anga amatha kuthyola uta wachitsulo.
36 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
Inu mundipatsa ine chishango chanu cha chigonjetso; mumawerama kuti mundikweze.
37 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
Inu mwalimbitsa njira yanga kuti ndiyende bwino, kuti mapazi anga asaterereke.
38 I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed.
“Ine ndinathamangitsa adani anga ndi kuwakantha; sindinabwerere mpaka iwo atawonongedwa.
39 And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.
Ndinawakantha kotheratu, ndipo sanathe kudzukanso; Iwo anagwera pansi pa mapazi anga.
40 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.
Inu munandipatsa ine mphamvu yochitira nkhondo; munagwaditsa adani anga pa mapazi anga.
41 And mine enemies — Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me — and I cut them off.
Inu muchititsa kuti adani anga atembenuke ndi kuthawa; ndipo ndinawononga adani anga.
42 They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them.
Iwo anafuwula kupempha thandizo, koma panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe owapulumutsa. Analirira kwa Yehova, koma sanawayankhe.
43 And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small — I spread them out!
Ine ndinawaperesa ngati fumbi la pa dziko lapansi; ndinawasinja ndipo ndinawapondaponda ngati matope a mʼmisewu.
44 And — Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do serve me.
“Inu mwandipulumutsa mʼmanja mwa mitundu ya anthu; Inu mwandisunga kuti ndikhale mtsogoleri wa anthu a mitundu ina. Anthu amene sindikuwadziwa ali pansi pa ulamuliro wanga.
45 Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.
Alendo amadzipereka okha pamaso panga; akangomva za ine, amandigonjera.
46 Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
Iwo onse anataya mtima; anatuluka mʼmalinga awo akunjenjemera.
47 Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God — The Rock of my salvation.
“Yehova ndi wamoyo! Litamandidwe Thanthwe langa. Akuzike Mulungu, Thanthwe, Mpulumutsi wanga!
48 God — who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
Iye ndi Mulungu amene amabwezera chilango, amene amayika anthu a mitundu yonse pansi pa ulamuliro wanga,
49 And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.
amene amandimasula mʼmanja mwa adani anga. Inu munandikuza kuposa adani anga; munandilanditsa mʼmanja mwa anthu ankhanza.
50 Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.
Choncho ine ndidzakutamandani Inu Yehova, pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina; ndidzayimba nyimbo zotamanda dzina lanu.
51 Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!'
“Iye amapereka chipambano chachikulu kwa mfumu yake, amaonetsa kukoma mtima kwa wodzozedwa wake, kwa Davide ndi zidzukulu zake kwamuyaya.”
