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.
For the Leader; upon Shoshannim; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I say: 'My work is concerning 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.
Thou art fairer than the children of men; grace is poured upon 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, thy glory and thy majesty.
4 Mu ukulu wanu mupite mutakwera mwachigonjetso mʼmalo mwa choonadi, kudzichepetsa ndi chilungamo; dzanja lanu lamanja lionetsere ntchito zanu zoopsa.
And in thy majesty prosper, ride on, in behalf of truth and meekness and righteousness; and let thy right hand teach thee tremendous things.
5 Mivi yanu yakuthwa ilase mitima ya adani a mfumu, mitundu ya anthu igwe pansi pa mapazi anu.
Thine arrows are sharp — the peoples fall under thee — they sink into 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 given of God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of equity 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 fellows.
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, and 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 thy favourites; at 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, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
11 Mfumu yathedwa nzeru chifukwa cha kukongola kwako; mulemekeze pakuti iyeyo ndiye mbuye wako.
So shall the king desire thy beauty; for he is thy lord; and do homage unto him.
12 Mwana wa mkazi wa ku Turo adzabwera ndi mphatso, amuna a chuma adzafunafuna kukoma mtima kwako.
And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people shall entreat thy favour with a gift.'
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 the palace; her raiment is of chequer work inwrought with gold.
14 Atavala zovala zamaluwamaluwa akupita naye kwa mfumu; anamwali okhala naye akumutsatira ndipo abweretsedwa kwa inu.
She shall be led unto the king on richly woven stuff; the virgins her companions in her train being brought unto thee.
15 Iwo akuwaperekeza ndi chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo; akulowa mʼnyumba yaufumu.
They shall be led with gladness and rejoicing; 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, whom thou shalt make princes in all the land.
17 Ndidzabukitsa mbiri yako mʼmibado yonse; choncho mitundu yonse idzakutamanda ku nthawi za nthawi.
I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
