< Masalimo 105 >
1 Yamikani Yehova, itanani dzina lake; lalikirani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina zimene Iye wachita.
O give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Imbirani Iye, imbani matamando kwa Iyeyo; fotokozani za machitidwe ake onse odabwitsa.
Sing to him, sing psalms to him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Munyadire dzina lake loyera; mitima ya iwo amene amafunafuna Yehova ikondwere.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4 Dalirani Yehova ndi mphamvu zake; funafunani nkhope yake nthawi yonse.
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Kumbukirani zodabwitsa zimene Iye anazichita, zozizwitsa zake ndi maweruzo amene anapereka,
Remember his wonderful works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 inu zidzukulu za Abrahamu mtumiki wake, inu ana a Yakobo, osankhika ake.
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 Iye ndiye Yehova Mulungu wathu; maweruzo ake ali pa dziko lonse lapansi.
He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth.
8 Iyeyo amakumbukira pangano lake kwamuyaya, mawu amene analamula kwa mibado yonse,
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 pangano limene Iye anapanga ndi Abrahamu, lumbiro limene analumbira kwa Isake.
Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
10 Iye analitsimikiza kwa Yakobo monga zophunzitsa, kwa Israeli monga pangano lamuyaya:
And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:
11 “Ndidzapereka kwa iwe dziko la Kanaani ngati gawo la cholowa chako.”
Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 Pamene iwo anali ngati anthu ochepa mʼchiwerengero, ochepa ndithu, ndiponso alendo mʼdzikolo,
When they were a few men in number; yes, very few, and strangers in it.
13 ankayendayenda kuchoka ku mtundu wina wa anthu ndi kupita ku mtundu wina, kuchoka mu ufumu wina kupita ku wina.
When they went from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom to another people;
14 Iye sanalole wina aliyense kuwapondereza; anadzudzula mafumu chifukwa cha iwo:
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yes, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 “Musakhudze odzozedwa anga; musachitire choyipa aneneri anga.”
[Saying], Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Iye anabweretsa njala pa dziko ndipo anawononga chakudya chonse;
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he broke the whole staff of bread.
17 Iyeyo anatumiza munthu patsogolo pawo, Yosefe anagulitsidwa ngati kapolo.
He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:
18 Iwo anavulaza mapazi ake ndi matangadza, khosi lake analiyika mʼzitsulo,
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 mpaka zimene Iye ananeneratu zitakwaniritsidwa, mpaka mawu a Yehova ataonetsa kuti Iye ananena zoona.
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20 Mfumu inatuma munthu kukamumasula, wolamulira wa mitundu ya anthu anamasula iyeyo.
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 Anamuyika kukhala wolamulira nyumba yake, wolamulira zonse zimene iye anali nazo,
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 kulangiza ana a mfumu monga ankafunira ndi kuphunzitsa nzeru akuluakulu.
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Tsono Israeli analowa mu Igupto; Yakobo anakhala monga mlendo mʼdziko la Hamu.
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 Yehova anachulukitsa anthu ake; ndipo anachititsa kuti akhale ochuluka kwambiri kuposa adani awo;
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 amene mitima yawo anayitembenuza kuti idane ndi anthu ake, kukonzera chiwembu atumiki ake.
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26 Yehova anatuma Mose mtumiki wake, ndi Aaroni amene Iye anamusankha.
He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 Iwo anachita zizindikiro zozizwitsa pakati pawo, zodabwitsa zake mʼdziko la Hamu.
They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 Yehova anatumiza mdima nasandutsa dziko kuti likhale la mdima. Koma anthuwo anakaniratu mawu a Yehova.
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 Yehova anasandutsa madzi awo kukhala magazi, kuchititsa kuti nsomba zawo zife.
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Dziko lawo linadzaza ndi achule amene analowa mʼzipinda zogona za olamulira awo.
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31 Iye anayankhula, ndipo kunabwera ntchentche zochuluka ndi nsabwe mʼdziko lawo lonse.
He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their borders.
32 Iyeyo anatembenuza mvula yawo kukhala matalala, ndi zingʼaningʼani mʼdziko lawo lonse;
He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land.
33 Anagwetsa mitengo yawo ya mpesa ndi mitengo yawo ya mkuyu, nawononganso mitengo ina ya mʼdziko lawolo.
He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.
34 Iye anayankhula, ndipo dzombe linabwera, ziwala zosawerengeka;
He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number,
35 zinadya chilichonse chobiriwira cha mʼdziko lawo, zinadya zonse zotuluka mʼnthaka yawo.
And ate up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 Kenaka anakantha ana onse oyamba kubadwa a mʼdziko lawo, zipatso zoyamba za umunthu wawo wonse.
He smote also all the first-born in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 Yehova anatulutsa Israeli, atatenga siliva ndi golide wambiri, ndipo pakati pa mafuko awo palibe mmodzi amene anafowoka.
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.
38 Dziko la Igupto linakondwa pamene iwo anachoka, pakuti kuopsa kwa Israeli kunawagwera iwo.
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 Iye anatambasula mitambo ngati chofunda chawo, ndi moto owawunikira usiku.
He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 Iwo anapempha, ndipo Iye anawabweretsera zinziri ndipo anawakhutitsa ndi chakudya chochokera kumwamba.
[The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 Iye anatsekula thanthwe, ndipo madzi anatuluka; ngati mtsinje anayenda mʼchipululu.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
42 Pakuti anakumbukira lonjezo lake loyera limene linaperekedwa kwa Abrahamu mtumiki wake.
For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.
43 Iye anatulutsa anthu ake akukondwera, osankhika ake akufuwula mwachimwemwe;
And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:
44 Iye anawapatsa mayiko a anthu a mitundu ina ndipo anakhala olowamʼmalo a zimene ena anazivutikira,
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labor of the people;
45 kuti iwo asunge malangizo ake ndi kutsatira malamulo ake. Tamandani Yehova.
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
