Masalimo 47

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

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

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

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

He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;

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

He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)

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

God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.

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

Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our king, sing praises!

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

For God is king of all the earth; Sing to him hymns of praise!

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

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

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 princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.
