Masalimo 50
1 Salimo la Asafu. Wamphamvuyo, Yehova Mulungu, akuyankhula ndi kuyitanitsa dziko lapansi kuyambira kotulukira dzuwa mpaka kumene limalowera.
A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
2 Kuchokera ku Ziyoni, mokongola kwambiri Mulungu akuwala.
From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
3 Mulungu wathu akubwera ndipo sadzakhala chete; moto ukunyeketsa patsogolo pake, ndipo pomuzungulira pali mphepo yamkuntho
Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
4 Iye akuyitanitsa zamumlengalenga ndi za pa dziko lapansi kuti aweruze anthu ake.
His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
5 Mundisonkhanitsire okhulupirika anga, amene anachita pangano ndi ine pochita nsembe.
Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
6 Ndipo mayiko akumwamba akulengeza chilungamo chake, pakuti Mulungu mwini ndi woweruza.
And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
7 Imvani inu anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzayankhula, iwe Israeli, ndipo Ine ndidzayankhula mokutsutsa; ndine Mulungu, Mulungu wako.
Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
8 Sindikudzudzula chifukwa cha nsembe zako, kapena nsembe zako zopsereza zimene zili pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
9 Ine sindikufuna ngʼombe yayimuna kuchokera mʼkhola lako kapena mbuzi za mʼkhola lako,
I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
10 pakuti nyama iliyonse yakunkhalango ndi yanga ndiponso ngʼombe za ku mapiri ochuluka.
For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 Ine ndimadziwa mbalame iliyonse mʼmapiri ndiponso zolengedwa zonse zakutchire ndi zanga.
I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
12 Ndikanakhala ndi njala sindikanakuwuzani, pakuti dziko lonse ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo ndi zanga.
If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
13 Kodi ndimadya nyama ya ngʼombe zazimuna kapena kumwa magazi a mbuzi?
Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
14 “Pereka nsembe zachiyamiko kwa Mulungu, kwaniritsa malonjezo ako kwa Wammwambamwamba.
Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
15 Ndipo undiyitane pa tsiku lako la masautso; Ine ndidzakulanditsa, ndipo udzandilemekeza.”
Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
16 Koma kwa woyipa, Mulungu akuti, “Kodi uli ndi mphamvu yanji kuti uzinena malamulo anga kapena kutenga pangano langa pa milomo yako?
But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
17 Iwe umadana ndi malangizo anga ndipo umaponyera kumbuyo kwako mawu anga.
Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
18 Ukaona wakuba umamutsatira, umachita maere ako pamodzi ndi achigololo
When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
19 Umagwiritsa ntchito pakamwa pako pa zinthu zoyipa ndipo umakonza lilime lako kuchita chinyengo.
You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
20 Nthawi zonse umayankhula motsutsana ndi mʼbale wako ndipo umasinjirira mwana wa amayi ako enieni.
You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
21 Wachita zimenezi ndipo Ine ndinali chete; umaganiza kuti ndine wofanana nawe koma ndidzakudzudzula ndipo ndidzakutsutsa pamaso pako.
These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
22 “Ganizira izi, iwe amene umayiwala Mulungu kuti ndingakukadzule popanda wokupulumutsa:
Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
23 Iye amene amapereka nsembe yamayamiko amandilemekeza, ndipo amakonza njira zake kuti ndimuonetse chipulumutso cha Mulungu.”
Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
