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 Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song. My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
2 Inu ndinu abwino kwambiri kuposa anthu onse ndipo milomo yanu inadzozedwa ndi chikondi cha Mulungu chosasinthika, popeza Mulungu wakudalitsani kwamuyaya.
You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Mangirirani lupanga lanu mʼchiwuno mwanu, inu munthu wamphamvu; mudziveke nokha ndi ulemerero ndi ukulu wanu.
Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.
4 Mu ukulu wanu mupite mutakwera mwachigonjetso mʼmalo mwa choonadi, kudzichepetsa ndi chilungamo; dzanja lanu lamanja lionetsere ntchito zanu zoopsa.
In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
5 Mivi yanu yakuthwa ilase mitima ya adani a mfumu, mitundu ya anthu igwe pansi pa mapazi anu.
Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows 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.
Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7 Inu mumakonda chilungamo ndi kudana ndi zoyipa; choncho Mulungu, Mulungu wanu, wakukhazikani pamwamba pa anzanu pokudzozani ndi mafuta a chimwemwe.
You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your 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.
All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have 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 honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
10 Tamvera, iwe mwana wa mkazi ganizira ndipo tchera khutu; iwala anthu ako ndi nyumba ya abambo ako.
Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.
11 Mfumu yathedwa nzeru chifukwa cha kukongola kwako; mulemekeze pakuti iyeyo ndiye mbuye wako.
So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.
12 Mwana wa mkazi wa ku Turo adzabwera ndi mphatso, amuna a chuma adzafunafuna kukoma mtima kwako.
The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.
13 Wokongola kwambiri ndi mwana wa mfumu ali mʼchipinda mwake, chovala chake ndi cholukidwa ndi thonje ndi golide.
The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14 Atavala zovala zamaluwamaluwa akupita naye kwa mfumu; anamwali okhala naye akumutsatira ndipo abweretsedwa kwa inu.
She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
15 Iwo akuwaperekeza ndi chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo; akulowa mʼnyumba yaufumu.
With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. 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.
Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17 Ndidzabukitsa mbiri yako mʼmibado yonse; choncho mitundu yonse idzakutamanda ku nthawi za nthawi.
I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
