Psalms 64

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Ndimvereni Mulungu pomwe ndikunena madandawulo anga; tetezani moyo wanga ku chiopsezo cha mdani.

2 Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

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

3 Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow — a bitter word.

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

4 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

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

5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it?'

Iwo amalimbikitsana wina ndi mnzake pa chikonzero chawo choyipa, amayankhula zobisa misampha yawo; ndipo amati, “Adzayiona ndani?”

6 They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.

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

7 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

Koma Mulungu adzawalasa ndi mivi; mwadzidzidzi adzakanthidwa.

8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

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

9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.

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

10 The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!

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