Masalimo 146

1 Tamandani Yehova. Tamanda Yehova, iwe moyo wanga.

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

2 Ndidzatamanda Yehova ndi moyo wanga wonse; ndidzayimba nyimbo zamatamando kwa Mulungu wanga nthawi yonse ya moyo wanga.

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Musamadalire mafumu, anthu osakhalitsa, amene sangathe kupulumutsa.

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

4 Pamene mizimu yawo yachoka, iwo amabwerera ku dothi; zimene ankafuna kuchita zimatha tsiku lomwelo.

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

5 Wodala ndi amene thandizo lake ndi Mulungu wa Yakobo.

Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, 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 truth for ever:

7 Iye amachitira chilungamo anthu oponderezedwa ndipo amapereka chakudya kwa anthu anjala. Yehova amamasula amʼndende,

who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

8 Yehova amatsekula maso anthu osaona, Yehova amadzutsa onse amene awerama pansi, Yehova amakonda anthu olungama.

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

9 Yehova amasamalira alendo ndipo amathandiza ana ndi akazi amasiye, koma amasokoneza njira za anthu oyipa.

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

10 Yehova ndiye Mfumu mpaka muyaya, Mulungu wako iwe Ziyoni, pa mibado yonse. Tamandani Yehova.

The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Sion, to all generations.
