Psalms 56
1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue me.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Njiwa pa Mtengo wa Thundu wa Kutali.” Mikitamu ya Davide, pamene Afilisti anamugwira ku Gati. Mundichitire chifundo Inu Mulungu, pakuti anthu akundithamangitsa kwambiri; tsiku lonse akundithira nkhondo.
2 My enemies harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.
Ondinyoza akundithamangitsa tsiku lonse, ambiri akumenyana nane monyada.
3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.
Ndikachita mantha ndimadalira Inu.
4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
Mwa Mulungu, amene mawu ake ine ndimatamanda, mwa Mulungu ine ndimadaliramo; sindidzachita mantha. Kodi munthu amene amafa angandichite chiyani?
5 All day long my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.
Tsiku lonse amatembenuza mawu anga; nthawi zonse amakonza zondivulaza.
6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].
Iwo amakambirana, amandibisalira, amayangʼanitsitsa mayendedwe anga ndipo amakhala ndi chidwi chofuna kuchotsa moyo wanga.
7 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!
Musalole konse kuti athawe; mu mkwiyo wanu Mulungu mugwetse mitundu ya anthu.
8 You have counted [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number in your book.
Mulembe za kulira kwanga, mulembe chiwerengero cha misozi yanga mʼbuku lanu. Kodi zimenezi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku lanulo?
9 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting for me.
Adani anga adzabwerera mʼmbuyo pamene ndidzalirira kwa Inu. Pamenepo ndidzadziwa kuti Mulungu ali ku mbali yanga.
10 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].
Mwa Mulungu amene mawu ake ndimawatamanda, mwa Yehova amene mawu ake ndimawatamanda,
11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!
mwa Mulungu ine ndimadalira ndipo sindidzachita mantha. Kodi munthu angandichite chiyani?
12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank you,
Ndiyenera kuchita zomwe ndinalumbira kwa Mulungu; ndidzapereka nsembe zanga zachiyamiko kwa inu.
13 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).
Pakuti mwawombola moyo wanga ku imfa ndi mapazi anga kuti ndingagwe, kuti ndiyende pamaso pa Mulungu mʼkuwala kwa moyo.
