Masalimo 131

1 Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mtima wanga siwodzikuza, maso anga siwonyada; sinditengeteka mtima ndi zinthu zapamwamba ndi zodabwitsa.

A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.

2 Koma moyo wanga ndawutontholetsa ndi kuwukhalitsa chete ngati mwana amene amayi ake amuletsa kuyamwa, moyo wanga mʼkati mwanga uli ngati mwana amene amuletsa kuyamwa.

Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.

3 Yembekeza Yehova, iwe Israeli, kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!
