Masalimo 47

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la ana a Kora. Ombani mʼmanja, inu anthu onse; fuwulani kwa Mulungu ndi mawu achimwemwe.

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

2 Ndi woopsadi Yehova Wammwambamwamba; Mfumu yayikulu ya dziko lonse lapansi!

For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

3 Iye anatigonjetsera mitundu yambirimbiri ya anthu; anayika anthu pansi pa mapazi athu.

He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 Iye anatisankhira cholowa chathu, chonyaditsa cha Yakobo, amene anamukonda. (Sela)

He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 Mulungu wakwera, anthu akumufuwulira mwachimwemwe, Yehova wakwera, akumuyimbira malipenga.

God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

6 Imbani matamando kwa Mulungu, imbani matamando; imbani matamando kwa mfumu yathu, imbani matamando.

Sing psalms of God, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!

7 Pakuti Mulungu ndi mfumu ya dziko lonse lapansi; imbirani Iye salimo la matamando.

For God is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

8 Mulungu akulamulira mitundu ya anthu; Mulungu wakhala pa mpando wake waufumu woyera.

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9 Anthu otchuka mwa anthu a mitundu ina asonkhana monga anthu a Mulungu wa Abrahamu, pakuti mafumu a dziko lapansi ndi ake a Mulungu; Iye wakwezedwa kwakukulu.

The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of the God of Abraham. For unto God [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
