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 Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; — a song of the Beloved. My heart is welling forth [with] a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the 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.
Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3 Mangirirani lupanga lanu mʼchiwuno mwanu, inu munthu wamphamvu; mudziveke nokha ndi ulemerero ndi ukulu wanu.
Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O mighty one, [in] thy majesty and thy splendour;
4 Mu ukulu wanu mupite mutakwera mwachigonjetso mʼmalo mwa choonadi, kudzichepetsa ndi chilungamo; dzanja lanu lamanja lionetsere ntchito zanu zoopsa.
And [in] thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Mivi yanu yakuthwa ilase mitima ya adani a mfumu, mitundu ya anthu igwe pansi pa mapazi anu.
Thine arrows are sharp — peoples fall under thee — in the heart of the king's enemies.
6 Mpando wanu waufumu, Inu Mulungu, udzakhala ku nthawi za nthawi; ndodo yaufumu yachilungamo idzakhala ndodo yaufumu ya ufumu wanu.
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom:
7 Inu mumakonda chilungamo ndi kudana ndi zoyipa; choncho Mulungu, Mulungu wanu, wakukhazikani pamwamba pa anzanu pokudzozani ndi mafuta a chimwemwe.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
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.
Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee 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 thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Tamvera, iwe mwana wa mkazi ganizira ndipo tchera khutu; iwala anthu ako ndi nyumba ya abambo ako.
Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house:
11 Mfumu yathedwa nzeru chifukwa cha kukongola kwako; mulemekeze pakuti iyeyo ndiye mbuye wako.
And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.
12 Mwana wa mkazi wa ku Turo adzabwera ndi mphatso, amuna a chuma adzafunafuna kukoma mtima kwako.
And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour.
13 Wokongola kwambiri ndi mwana wa mfumu ali mʼchipinda mwake, chovala chake ndi cholukidwa ndi thonje ndi golide.
All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:
14 Atavala zovala zamaluwamaluwa akupita naye kwa mfumu; anamwali okhala naye akumutsatira ndipo abweretsedwa kwa inu.
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee:
15 Iwo akuwaperekeza ndi chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo; akulowa mʼnyumba yaufumu.
With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace.
16 Ana ako aamuna adzatenga malo a makolo ako; udzachititsa kuti akhale ana a mfumu mʼdziko lonse.
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in all the earth.
17 Ndidzabukitsa mbiri yako mʼmibado yonse; choncho mitundu yonse idzakutamanda ku nthawi za nthawi.
I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
