Psalms 91

1 The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

Iye amene amakhala mu mthunzi wa Wammwambamwamba adzapuma mu mthunzi wa Wamphamvuzonse.

2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

Ndidzanena za Yehova, “Iye ndiye pothawira panga ndi linga langa, Mulungu wanga amene ndimadalira.”

3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

Ndithu, Iye adzakupulumutsa ku msampha wa mlenje ndi ku mliri woopsa;

4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

Adzakuphimba ndi nthenga zake, ndipo udzapeza malo othawira mʼmapikomo; kukhulupirika kwake kudzakhala chishango chako ndi lihawo.

5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

Sudzachita mantha ndi zoopsa za usiku, kapena muvi wowuluka masana,

6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

kapena mliri umene umayenda mu mdima, kapena zowononga za pa nthawi ya masana.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.

Anthu 1,000 atha kufa pambali pako, anthu 10,000 kudzanja lako lamanja, koma zoopsazo sizidzafika pafupi ndi iwe.

8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

Udzapenya ndi maso ako ndipo udzaona mmene anthu oyipa amalangidwira.

9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

Pakuti wasankha Wammwambamwamba kukhala malo ako okhalamo; wavomera Yehova kukhala kothawira kwako.

10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

Choncho palibe choyipa chimene chidzakugwera, zoopsa sizidzafika pafupi ndi tenti yako.

11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

Pakuti adzalamulira angelo ake za iwe, kuti akutchinjirize mosamala pa njira zako zonse;

12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

ndipo adzakunyamula ndi manja awo, kuti phazi lako lisagunde pa mwala.

13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

Udzapondaponda mkango ndi njoka, udzapondereza mkango wamphamvu ndiponso chinjoka.

14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

“Chifukwa iye amandikonda,” akutero Yehova, “Ndidzamulanditsa; ndidzamuteteza pakuti wavomereza dzina langa.

15 He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

Adzandiyitana, ndipo ndidzamuyankha; ndidzakhala naye pa mavuto, ndidzamupulumutsa ndi kumulemekeza.

16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.

Ndidzamupatsa moyo wautali ndi kumupulumutsa.”
