Masalimo 21
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mfumu ikusangalala mu mphamvu yanu, chimwemwe chake nʼchachikuludi pa kupambana kumene mumapereka!
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. In your virtue, Lord, the king will rejoice, and over your salvation, he will exult exceedingly.
2 Inu mwayipatsa zokhumba za mtima wake ndipo simunayimane zopempha za pa milomo yake. (Sela)
You have granted him the desire of his heart, and you have not cheated him of the wish of his lips.
3 Inu munayilandira ndi madalitso ochuluka ndipo munayiveka chipewa chaufumu chagolide weniweni pa mutu wake.
For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head.
4 Iye anakupemphani moyo, ndipo munamupatsa masiku ochuluka kwamuyaya.
He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever.
5 Kudzera mʼzigonjetso zimene munapereka, ulemerero wake ndi waukulu; Inu mwapereka pa iyo ulemerero ndi ufumu.
Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him.
6 Zoonadi Inu mwayipatsa madalitso amuyaya, Inu mwayipatsa chisangalalo ndi chimwemwe chimene chili pamaso panu.
For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence.
7 Pakuti mfumu imadalira Yehova; kudzera mʼchikondi chake chosatha cha Wammwambamwamba, iyo sidzagwedezeka.
Because the king hopes in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he will not be disturbed.
8 Dzanja lanu lidzayimitsa adani anu onse; dzanja lanu lamanja lidzagwira adani anu.
May your hand be found by all your enemies. May your right hand discover all those who hate you.
9 Pa nthawi ya kuonekera kwanu mudzawasandutsa ngʼanjo yamoto yotentha. Mu ukali wake Yehova adzawameza, ndipo moto wake udzawatha.
You will make them like an oven of fire, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up with his wrath, and fire will devour them.
10 Inu mudzawononga ana awo pa dziko lapansi, zidzukulu zawo pakati pa anthu.
You will destroy their fruit from the earth and their offspring from the sons of men.
11 Ngakhale iwo akukonzereni chiwembu mwa kuchenjera kwawo sadzapambana;
For they have turned evils upon you; they have devised plans, which they have not been able to accomplish.
12 pakuti mudzawapirikitsa ndipo adzaonetsa misana yawo pamene mudzawaloza ndi mivi yanu.
For you will make them turn their back; with your remnants, you will prepare their countenance.
13 Mukwezeke Inu Yehova mʼmphamvu yanu, ife tidzayimba nyimbo ndi kutamanda mphamvu yanu.
Be exalted, Lord, by your own power. We will play music and sing psalms to your virtues.
