Masalimo 135
1 Tamandani Yehova. Tamandani dzina la Yehova; mutamandeni, inu atumiki a Yehova,
Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD. Praise him, you servants of the LORD,
2 amene mumatumikira mʼnyumba ya Yehova, mʼmabwalo a nyumba ya Mulungu wathu.
you who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of our God's house.
3 Tamandani Yehova, pakuti Yehova ndi wabwino; imbani nyimbo zotamanda dzina lake, pakuti nʼkokoma kutero,
Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 Pakuti Yehova wasankha Yakobo kuti akhale wake, Israeli kuti akhale chuma chake chapamtima.
For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
5 Ndikudziwa kuti Yehova ndi wamkulu, kuti Ambuye athu ndi wamkulu kuposa milungu yonse.
For I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Yehova amachita chilichonse chimene chimamukomera, kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, ku nyanja zazikulu ndi ku malo ake onse akuya.
Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 Iye amatulutsa mitambo kuchokera ku malekezero a dziko lapansi, amatumiza zingʼaningʼani pamodzi ndi mvula ndipo amatulutsa mphepo ku malo ake osungiramo.
who causes the clouds to rise from the farthest parts of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 Anakantha ana oyamba kubadwa a Igupto, ana oyamba kubadwa a anthu ndi nyama.
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
9 Iye anatumiza zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa pakati pako, iwe Igupto, kutsutsana ndi Farao pamodzi ndi atumiki ake onse.
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
10 Iye anakantha mitundu yambiri ya anthu ndi kupha mafumu amphamvu:
who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
11 Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, Ogi mfumu ya Basani, ndi maufumu onse a ku Kanaani;
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 ndipo anapereka dziko lawo ngati cholowa, cholowa cha anthu ake Aisraeli.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
13 Dzina lanu, Inu Yehova, ndi losatha mpaka muyaya, mbiri yanu, Inu Yehova, idziwika mibado yonse.
Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.
14 Pakuti Yehova adzaonetsa kuti anthu ake ngosalakwa, ndipo adzachitira chifundo atumiki ake.
For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
15 Mafano a mitundu ya anthu ndi siliva ndi golide, opangidwa ndi manja a anthu.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 Pakamwa ali napo koma sayankhula maso ali nawo, koma sapenya;
They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.
17 makutu ali nawo, koma sakumva ndipo mʼkamwa mwawo mulibe mpweya uliwonse.
They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Iwo amene amapanga mafanowo adzakhala ngati mafanowo, chimodzimodzinso iwo amene amadalira mafanowo.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 Inu nyumba ya Israeli, tamandani Yehova; inu nyumba ya Aaroni, tamandani Yehova;
House of Israel, praise the LORD. House of Aaron, praise the LORD.
20 Inu nyumba ya Levi, tamandani Yehova; Inu amene mumaopa Iye, tamandani Yehova.
House of Levi, praise the LORD. You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD.
21 Wodalitsika ndi Yehova kuchokera mʼZiyoni, amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu. Tamandani Yehova.
Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
