Masalimo 146

1 Tamandani Yehova. Tamanda Yehova, iwe moyo wanga.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

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

I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.

3 Musamadalire mafumu, anthu osakhalitsa, amene sangathe kupulumutsa.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.

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

His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.

5 Wodala ndi amene thandizo lake ndi Mulungu wa Yakobo.

Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

6 Wolenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo; Yehova, amene ndi wokhulupirika kwamuyaya.

Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:

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

Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.

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

The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.

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

The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
