Masalimo 19
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Zakumwamba zimalengeza za ulemerero wa Mulungu; thambo limalalikira ntchito za manja ake.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Tsiku ndi tsiku zimayankhula mawu ambiri, usiku ndi usiku zimaonetsa poyera nzeru.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 Palibe kuyankhula, palibe mawu aliwonse; liwu lawo silimveka.
[There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard.
4 Koma uthenga wawo umapita pa dziko lonse lapansi, mawuwo amafika mpaka kumalekezero a dziko lapansi.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Dzuwa lili ngati mkwatibwi wobwera kuchokera ku nsanja yake, ngati katswiri wokondwerera kuthamanga pa mpikisano.
Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 Limatuluka kuyambira mbali ina ya thambo ndi kuzungulira mpaka mbali inanso; palibe chinthu chotha kupewa kutentha kwake.
His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
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 the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
8 Malangizo a Yehova ndi olungama, amapereka chimwemwe mu mtima. Malamulo a Yehova ndi onyezimira, amapereka kuwala.
The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, 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] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
10 ndi a mtengowapatali kuposa golide, kuposa golide weniweni; ndi otsekemera kuposa uchi, kuposa uchi wochokera pa chisa chake.
More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Mtumiki wanu amachenjezedwa nawo; powasunga pali mphotho yayikulu.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward.
12 Ndani angathe kudziwa zolakwa zake? Mundikhululukire zolakwa zanga zobisika.
Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults].
13 Muteteze mtumiki wanunso ku machimo ochita akudziwa; iwo asandilamulire. Kotero ndidzakhala wosalakwa, wopanda mlandu wa tchimo lalikulu.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins; ] let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Mawu a mʼkamwa mwanga ndi zolingalira za mu mtima mwanga zikhale zokondweretsa pamaso panu, Inu Yehova, Thanthwe langa ndi Mpulumutsi wanga.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
