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 trust in the LORD, [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.

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

[As] the mountains [are] round Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] around his people from henceforth even for ever.

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

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.

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

Do good, O LORD, to [those that] are 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.

As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
