Masalimo 125

1 Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Amene amadalira Yehova ali ngati phiri la Ziyoni, limene silingagwedezeke koma ndi lokhala mpaka muyaya.

A Song of degrees. They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

2 Monga mapiri azungulira Yerusalemu, momwemonso Yehova azungulira anthu ake kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.

Jerusalem! — mountains are round about her, and Jehovah is round about his people, from henceforth and for evermore.

3 Ndodo yaufumu ya anthu oyipa sidzakhala pa dziko limene lapatsidwa kwa anthu olungama, kuti anthu olungamawo angachite nawonso zoyipa.

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

4 Yehova chitirani zabwino amene ndi abwino, amene ndi olungama mtima

Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

5 Koma amene amatembenukira ku njira zokhotakhota, Yehova adzawachotsa pamodzi ndi anthu ochita zoyipa. Mtendere ukhale pa Israeli.

But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel!
