Masalimo 146
1 Tamandani Yehova. Tamanda Yehova, iwe moyo wanga.
Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
2 Ndidzatamanda Yehova ndi moyo wanga wonse; ndidzayimba nyimbo zamatamando kwa Mulungu wanga nthawi yonse ya moyo wanga.
While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
3 Musamadalire mafumu, anthu osakhalitsa, amene sangathe kupulumutsa.
Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 Pamene mizimu yawo yachoka, iwo amabwerera ku dothi; zimene ankafuna kuchita zimatha tsiku lomwelo.
Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
5 Wodala ndi amene thandizo lake ndi Mulungu wa Yakobo.
Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 Wolenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo; Yehova, amene ndi wokhulupirika kwamuyaya.
Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
7 Iye amachitira chilungamo anthu oponderezedwa ndipo amapereka chakudya kwa anthu anjala. Yehova amamasula amʼndende,
Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
8 Yehova amatsekula maso anthu osaona, Yehova amadzutsa onse amene awerama pansi, Yehova amakonda anthu olungama.
The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
9 Yehova amasamalira alendo ndipo amathandiza ana ndi akazi amasiye, koma amasokoneza njira za anthu oyipa.
The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.
10 Yehova ndiye Mfumu mpaka muyaya, Mulungu wako iwe Ziyoni, pa mibado yonse. Tamandani Yehova.
The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
