Masalimo 106
1 Tamandani Yehova. Yamikani Yehova chifukwa ndi wabwino; pakuti chikondi chake ndi chosatha.
Praise Yahweh. Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
2 Ndani angathe kufotokoza za ntchito zamphamvu za Yehova kapena kumutamanda mokwanira?
Who can recount the mighty acts of Yahweh or proclaim in full all his praiseworthy deeds?
3 Odala ndi amene amasunga chilungamo, amene amachita zolungama nthawi zonse.
Blessed are those who do what is right, and whose deeds are always just.
4 Mundikumbukire Yehova, pamene mukuonetsa kukoma mtima kwanu kwa anthu anu, bwerani mudzandithandize pamene mukuwapulumutsa iwo,
Call me to mind, Yahweh, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them.
5 kuti ndidzasangalale ndi chuma cha anthu anu osankhika, kuti ndidzakhale nacho chimwemwe cha anthu anu ndi kukhala pamodzi ndi cholowa chanu pa kukutamandani.
Then I will see the prosperity of your chosen, rejoice in the gladness of your nation, and glory with your inheritance.
6 Ife tachimwa monga momwe anachitira makolo athu; tachita zolakwa ndipo tachita moyipa.
We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, and we have done evil.
7 Pamene makolo athu anali mu Igupto, sanalingalire za zozizwitsa zanu; iwo sanakumbukire kukoma mtima kwanu kochuluka, ndipo anawukira Inu pa Nyanja Yofiira.
Our fathers did not appreciate your marvelous deeds in Egypt; they ignored your many acts of covenant faithfulness; they were rebellious at the sea, the Sea of Reeds.
8 Komabe Iye anawapulumutsa chifukwa cha dzina lake, kuti aonetse mphamvu zake zazikulu.
Nevertheless, he saved them for his name's sake so that he might reveal his power.
9 Anadzudzula Nyanja Yofiira, ndipo inawuma; anawatsogolera mʼnyanja yakuya ngati akuyenda mʼchipululu.
He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up. Then he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10 Anawapulumutsa mʼdzanja la amaliwongo; anawawombola mʼdzanja la mdani.
He saved them from the hand of those who hated them, and he rescued them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Madzi anamiza adani awo, palibe mmodzi wa iwo anapulumuka.
But the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
12 Kenaka iwo anakhulupirira malonjezo ake ndi kuyimba nyimbo zamatamando.
Then they believed his words, and they sang his praise.
13 Koma posachedwa anayiwala zimene Iye anachita, ndipo sanayembekezere uphungu wake.
But they quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions.
14 Mʼchipululu, anadzipereka ku zilakolako zawo; mʼdziko lopanda kanthu anayesa Mulungu.
They had insatiable cravings in the wilderness, and they challenged God in the desert.
15 Choncho Iye anawapatsa chimene anapempha, koma anatumiza nthenda yowondetsa.
So he gave them what they requested, but he sent a horrible disease upon them.
16 Mʼmisasa, anachitira nsanje Mose ndi Aaroni, amene Yehova anadzipatulira.
In the camp they became jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy priest of Yahweh.
17 Nthaka inatsekuka ndipo inameza Datani; inakwirira gulu la Abiramu.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the followers of Abiram.
18 Moto unayaka pakati pa otsatira awo; lawi lamoto linapsereza anthu oyipa.
Fire broke out among them; the fire consumed the wicked.
19 Iwo anapanga mwana wangʼombe pa Horebu ndi kulambira fano loyengedwa kuchokera ku chitsulo.
They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped a cast metal figure.
20 Anasinthanitsa ulemerero wawo ndi fano la ngʼombe yayimuna imene imadya udzu.
They traded the glory of God for the image of a bull that eats grass.
21 Anayiwala Mulungu amene anawapulumutsa, amene anachita zinthu zazikulu mu Igupto,
They forgot God their Savior, who had done great deeds in Egypt.
22 zozizwitsa mʼdziko la Hamu ndi machitidwe ake woopsa pa Nyanja Yofiira.
He had done wonderful things in the land of Ham and mighty acts at the Sea of Reeds.
23 Choncho Iye anawawuza kuti adzawawononga, pakanapanda Mose, mtumiki wake wosankhidwa, kuyima pamaso pake, ndi kuletsa mkwiyo wake kuti usawawononge.
So he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his anger from destroying them.
24 Motero iwo ananyoza dziko lokoma; sanakhulupirire malonjezo ake.
Then they despised the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise,
25 Anangʼungʼudza mʼmatenti mwawo ndipo sanamvere Yehova.
but grumbled in their tents, and did not obey Yahweh.
26 Kotero Iye analumbira atakweza dzanja lake, kuti adzachititsa kuti iwowo afere mʼchipululu,
Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would let them die in the desert,
27 kuchititsa kuti zidzukulu zawo zifere pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndi kuwabalalitsa mʼdziko lonse.
scatter their descendants among the nations, and scatter them in foreign lands.
28 Iwo anayamba kupembedza Baala-Peori ndi kudya nsembe zoperekedwa kwa milungu yopanda moyo;
They worshiped the Baal of Peor and ate the sacrifices offered to the dead.
29 anaputa mkwiyo wa Yehova pa machitidwe awo oyipa, ndipo mliri unabuka pakati pawo.
They provoked him to anger with their actions, and a plague broke out among them.
30 Koma Finehasi anayimirira ndi kulowererapo, ndipo mliri unaleka.
Then Phinehas rose to intervene, and the plague subsided.
31 Chimenechi ndicho chinayesedwa chilungamo chake, kwa mibado yosatha imene ikubwera.
It was counted to him as a righteous deed to all generations forever.
32 Pa madzi a ku Meriba iwo anakwiyitsa Yehova ndipo mavuto anabwera kwa Mose chifukwa cha anthuwo,
They also angered Yahweh at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them.
33 pakuti iwowo anawukira mzimu wa Mulungu, ndipo pa milomo ya Mose panatuluka mawu osayenera.
They made Moses bitter, and he spoke rashly.
34 Aisraeliwo sanawononge mitundu ya anthu monga momwe Yehova anawalamulira.
They did not destroy the nations as Yahweh had commanded them,
35 Koma anasakanizana ndi anthu a mitundu inayo ndi kuphunzira miyambo yawo.
but they mingled with the nations and learned their ways
36 Ndipo anapembedza mafano awo, amene anakhala msampha kwa iwowo.
and worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 Anapereka nsembe ana awo aamuna ndi ana awo aakazi kwa ziwanda.
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38 Anakhetsa magazi a anthu osalakwa, magazi a ana awo aamuna ndi a ana awo aakazi, amene anawapereka nsembe kwa mafano a ku Kanaani, ndipo dziko linayipitsidwa ndi magazi awo.
They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, desecrating the land with blood.
39 Iwo anadzidetsa okha ndi zimene anachita; ndi machitidwe awo amakhala ngati munthu wachigololo.
They were defiled by their deeds; in their actions they were like prostitutes.
40 Tsono Yehova anakwiya ndi anthu ake ndipo ananyansidwa ndi cholowa chake.
So Yahweh was angry with his people, and he despised his own people.
41 Iye anawapereka kwa anthu a mitundu ina, ndipo adani awo anawalamulira.
He gave them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Adani awo anawazunza ndi kuwakhazika pansi pa mphamvu yawo.
Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection to their authority.
43 Iye ankawapulumutsa nthawi zambiri, koma iwo ankatsimikiza za kuwukira ndipo anawonongeka mʼmachimo awo.
Many times he came to help them, but they kept rebelling and were brought low by their own sin.
44 Koma Iye anaona kuzunzika kwawo pamene anamva kulira kwawo;
Nevertheless, he paid attention to their distress when he heard their cry for help.
45 Chifukwa cha iwo Iye anakumbukira pangano lake ndipo anawalezera mtima chifukwa cha kukula kwa chikondi chake.
He called to mind his covenant with them and relented because of his steadfast love.
46 Iye anachititsa kuti amene anawagwira iwo ukapolo awamvere chisoni.
He caused all their conquerers to have pity on them.

Save us, Yahweh, our God. Gather us from among the nations so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.
48 Atamandike Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli, Kuyambira muyaya mpaka muyaya. Anthu onse anene kuti, “Ameni!” Tamandani Yehova.
May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen.” Praise Yahweh.
