Masalimo 104
1 Tamanda Yehova, iwe moyo wanga. Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, ndinu wamkulu kwambiri; mwavala ulemerero ndi ufumu.
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2 Iye wadzifunditsa kuwala ngati chovala; watambasula miyamba ngati tenti
Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3 ndipo wayika pa madzi mitanda ya chipinda chake. Iye amasandutsa mitambo kukhala galeta lake, ndi kuwuluka pa mapiko a mphepo.
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4 Amapanga mphepo kukhala amithenga ake, malawi amoto kukhala atumiki ake.
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 Anakhazikitsa dziko lapansi pa maziko ake; silingasunthike.
[Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever.
6 Munaliphimba ndi nyanja yozama ngati chovala; madzi anayimirira pamwamba pa mapiri.
Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7 Koma pakudzudzula kwanu madzi anathawa, pa mkokomo wa bingu lanu iwo anamwazika;
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8 Inu munamiza mapiri, iwo anatsikira ku zigwa kumalo kumene munawakonzera.
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
9 Inu munayika malire ndipo sangathe kudutsa, iwo sadzamizanso dziko lapansi.
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 Iye achititsa akasupe kutulutsa madzi kupita ku zigwa; madziwo amayenda pakati pa mapiri.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the hills.
11 Iwo amapereka madzi kwa zirombo zonse zakuthengo; abulu akuthengo amapha ludzu lawo.
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 Mbalame zamlengalenga zimayika zisa mʼmbali mwa madzi; zimayimba pakati pa thambo.
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, [which] sing among the branches.
13 Iye amathirira mapiri kuchokera ku zipinda zake zapamwamba; dziko lapansi limakhutitsidwa ndi chipatso cha ntchito yake.
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14 Amameretsa udzu kuti ngʼombe zidye, ndi zomera, kuti munthu azilima kubweretsa chakudya kuchokera mʼdziko lapansi:
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15 vinyo amene amasangalatsa mtima wa munthu, mafuta amene amachititsa nkhope yake kuwala, ndi buledi amene amapereka mphamvu.
And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man’s heart.
16 Mitengo ya Yehova ndi yothiriridwa bwino, mikungudza ya ku Lebanoni imene Iye anadzala.
The trees of the LORD are full [of sap; ] the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17 Mbalame zimamanga zisa zawo; kakowa ali ndi malo ake mʼmikungudzamo.
Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir trees [are] her house.
18 Mapiri ataliatali ndi a mbalale; mʼmingʼalu ya miyala ndi mobisalamo mbira.
The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the rocks for the conies.
19 Mwezi umasiyanitsa nyengo ndipo dzuwa limadziwa nthawi yake yolowera.
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Inu mumabweretsa mdima nukhala usiku, ndipo zirombo zonse za ku nkhalango zimatuluka.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth].
21 Mikango imabangula kufuna nyama, ndi kufunafuna chakudya chawo kuchokera kwa Mulungu.
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
22 Dzuwa limatuluka ndipo iyo imapita kukabisala; imabwerera kukagona pansi mʼmapanga awo.
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23 Pamenepo munthu amapita ku ntchito yake, kukagwira ntchito yake mpaka madzulo.
Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24 Ntchito zanu ndi zochulukadi Inu Yehova! Munazipanga zonse mwanzeru, dziko lapansi ladzaza ndi zolengedwa zanu.
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 Kuli nyanja yayikulu ndi yotambalala, yodzaza ndi zolengedwa zosawerengeka, zamoyo zanu zazikulu ndi zazingʼono zomwe.
[So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 Kumeneko sitima zapamadzi zimayenda uku ndi uku, ndiponso Leviyatani amene munamulenga kuti asewere kumeneko.
There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou hast made to play therein.
27 Zonsezi zimayangʼana kwa Inu kuti muzipatse chakudya chawo pa nthawi yake yoyenera.
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their meat in due season.
28 Mukazipatsa, zimachisonkhanitsa pamodzi; mukatsekula dzanja lanu, izo zimakhutitsidwa ndi zinthu zabwino.
[That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
29 Mukabisa nkhope yanu, izo zimachita mantha aakulu; mukachotsa mpweya wawo, zimafa ndi kubwerera ku fumbi.
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Mukatumiza mzimu wanu, izo zimalengedwa ndipo mumakozanso maonekedwe a dziko lapansi.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Ulemerero wa Yehova ukhalebe mpaka muyaya; Yehova akondwere ndi ntchito ya manja ake;
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 Iye amene amayangʼana dziko lapansi ndipo limanjenjemera, amene amakhudza mapiri ndipo amatuluka utsi.
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33 Ine ndidzayimbira Yehova moyo wanga wonse; ndidzayimbira matamando Mulungu wanga nthawi yonse imene ndili ndi moyo.
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 Zolingalira zanga zikhale zomukomera Iye, pamene ndikusangalala mwa Yehova.
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Koma anthu ochimwa awonongeke pa dziko lapansi ndipo anthu oyipa asapezekenso. Tamanda Yehova, Iwe moyo wanga. Tamandani Yehova.
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
