Masalimo 45
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wamayimbidwe. Monga mwa mayimbidwe a “Maluwa a Kakombo.” Salimo la ana a Kora. Nyimbo ya pa ukwati. Mtima wanga watakasika ndi nkhani yokoma pamene ndikulakatula mawu anga kwa mfumu; lilime langa ndi cholembera cha wolemba waluso.
To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Inu ndinu abwino kwambiri kuposa anthu onse ndipo milomo yanu inadzozedwa ndi chikondi cha Mulungu chosasinthika, popeza Mulungu wakudalitsani kwamuyaya.
You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.
3 Mangirirani lupanga lanu mʼchiwuno mwanu, inu munthu wamphamvu; mudziveke nokha ndi ulemerero ndi ukulu wanu.
Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.
4 Mu ukulu wanu mupite mutakwera mwachigonjetso mʼmalo mwa choonadi, kudzichepetsa ndi chilungamo; dzanja lanu lamanja lionetsere ntchito zanu zoopsa.
And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.
5 Mivi yanu yakuthwa ilase mitima ya adani a mfumu, mitundu ya anthu igwe pansi pa mapazi anu.
Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.
6 Mpando wanu waufumu, Inu Mulungu, udzakhala ku nthawi za nthawi; ndodo yaufumu yachilungamo idzakhala ndodo yaufumu ya ufumu wanu.
Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.
7 Inu mumakonda chilungamo ndi kudana ndi zoyipa; choncho Mulungu, Mulungu wanu, wakukhazikani pamwamba pa anzanu pokudzozani ndi mafuta a chimwemwe.
You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.
8 Mikanjo yanu yonse ndi yonunkhira ndi mure ndi aloe ndi kasiya; kuchokera ku nyumba zaufumu zokongoletsedwa ndi mnyanga wanjovu nyimbo za zoyimbira zazingwe zimakusangalatsani.
Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.
9 Ana aakazi a mafumu ali pakati pa akazi anu olemekezeka; ku dzanja lanu lamanja kuli mkwatibwi waufumu ali mu golide wa ku Ofiri.
Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Tamvera, iwe mwana wa mkazi ganizira ndipo tchera khutu; iwala anthu ako ndi nyumba ya abambo ako.
O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;
11 Mfumu yathedwa nzeru chifukwa cha kukongola kwako; mulemekeze pakuti iyeyo ndiye mbuye wako.
So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.
12 Mwana wa mkazi wa ku Turo adzabwera ndi mphatso, amuna a chuma adzafunafuna kukoma mtima kwako.
And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.
13 Wokongola kwambiri ndi mwana wa mfumu ali mʼchipinda mwake, chovala chake ndi cholukidwa ndi thonje ndi golide.
In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold.
14 Atavala zovala zamaluwamaluwa akupita naye kwa mfumu; anamwali okhala naye akumutsatira ndipo abweretsedwa kwa inu.
She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.
15 Iwo akuwaperekeza ndi chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo; akulowa mʼnyumba yaufumu.
With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house.
16 Ana ako aamuna adzatenga malo a makolo ako; udzachititsa kuti akhale ana a mfumu mʼdziko lonse.
Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.
17 Ndidzabukitsa mbiri yako mʼmibado yonse; choncho mitundu yonse idzakutamanda ku nthawi za nthawi.
I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.
