Masalimo 19
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Zakumwamba zimalengeza za ulemerero wa Mulungu; thambo limalalikira ntchito za manja ake.
For the end, a Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
2 Tsiku ndi tsiku zimayankhula mawu ambiri, usiku ndi usiku zimaonetsa poyera nzeru.
Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.
3 Palibe kuyankhula, palibe mawu aliwonse; liwu lawo silimveka.
There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not heard.
4 Koma uthenga wawo umapita pa dziko lonse lapansi, mawuwo amafika mpaka kumalekezero a dziko lapansi.
Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
5 Dzuwa lili ngati mkwatibwi wobwera kuchokera ku nsanja yake, ngati katswiri wokondwerera kuthamanga pa mpikisano.
In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course.
6 Limatuluka kuyambira mbali ina ya thambo ndi kuzungulira mpaka mbali inanso; palibe chinthu chotha kupewa kutentha kwake.
His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the [other] end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.
7 Lamulo la Yehova ndi langwiro, kutsitsimutsa moyo. Maumboni a Yehova ndi odalirika, amapereka nzeru kwa wopanda nzeru.
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.
8 Malangizo a Yehova ndi olungama, amapereka chimwemwe mu mtima. Malamulo a Yehova ndi onyezimira, amapereka kuwala.
The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
9 Kuopa Yehova ndiye chinthu changwiro, chimakhala mpaka muyaya. Maweruzo a Yehova ndi owona ndipo onse ndi olungama;
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.
10 ndi a mtengowapatali kuposa golide, kuposa golide weniweni; ndi otsekemera kuposa uchi, kuposa uchi wochokera pa chisa chake.
To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
11 Mtumiki wanu amachenjezedwa nawo; powasunga pali mphotho yayikulu.
For thy servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.
12 Ndani angathe kudziwa zolakwa zake? Mundikhululukire zolakwa zanga zobisika.
Who will understand [his] transgressions? purge thou me from my secret [sins].
13 Muteteze mtumiki wanunso ku machimo ochita akudziwa; iwo asandilamulire. Kotero ndidzakhala wosalakwa, wopanda mlandu wa tchimo lalikulu.
And spare thy servant [the attack] of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.
14 Mawu a mʼkamwa mwanga ndi zolingalira za mu mtima mwanga zikhale zokondweretsa pamaso panu, Inu Yehova, Thanthwe langa ndi Mpulumutsi wanga.
So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before thee, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
