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 Lord God has spoken: He summons the earth from sunrise to sunset.
2 Kuchokera ku Ziyoni, mokongola kwambiri Mulungu akuwala.
From Zion, perfection of beauty, God’s glory shines forth.
3 Mulungu wathu akubwera ndipo sadzakhala chete; moto ukunyeketsa patsogolo pake, ndipo pomuzungulira pali mphepo yamkuntho
Our God comes, he cannot keep silence, devouring fire is before him, and furious tempest around him.
4 Iye akuyitanitsa zamumlengalenga ndi za pa dziko lapansi kuti aweruze anthu ake.
He summons the heavens above and the earth to judge his people.
5 Mundisonkhanitsire okhulupirika anga, amene anachita pangano ndi ine pochita nsembe.
Gather to him his saints by covenant-sacrifice bound to him;
6 Ndipo mayiko akumwamba akulengeza chilungamo chake, pakuti Mulungu mwini ndi woweruza.
that the heavens may declare his justice, for a God of justice is he. (Selah)
7 Imvani inu anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzayankhula, iwe Israeli, ndipo Ine ndidzayankhula mokutsutsa; ndine Mulungu, Mulungu wako.
‘Hear, O my people, and I will speak, and protest to you, O Israel: I am the Lord, your God.
8 Sindikudzudzula chifukwa cha nsembe zako, kapena nsembe zako zopsereza zimene zili pamaso panga nthawi zonse.
Not for your sacrifices will I reprove you your burnt-offerings are ever before me
9 Ine sindikufuna ngʼombe yayimuna kuchokera mʼkhola lako kapena mbuzi za mʼkhola lako,
Not a bullock will I take from your house, nor male goats out of your folds;
10 pakuti nyama iliyonse yakunkhalango ndi yanga ndiponso ngʼombe za ku mapiri ochuluka.
for all beasts of the forest are mine, and the kine on a thousand hills.
11 Ine ndimadziwa mbalame iliyonse mʼmapiri ndiponso zolengedwa zonse zakutchire ndi zanga.
I know all the birds of the air, all that moves on the fields is mine.
12 Ndikanakhala ndi njala sindikanakuwuzani, pakuti dziko lonse ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo ndi zanga.
Were I hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fulness are mine.
13 Kodi ndimadya nyama ya ngʼombe zazimuna kapena kumwa magazi a mbuzi?
Am I such as to eat bulls’ flesh, or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Pereka nsembe zachiyamiko kwa Mulungu, kwaniritsa malonjezo ako kwa Wammwambamwamba.
Offer to God a thank-offering, pay the Most High your vows.
15 Ndipo undiyitane pa tsiku lako la masautso; Ine ndidzakulanditsa, ndipo udzandilemekeza.”
Summon me in the day of distress, I will rescue you, so will you honour 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 wicked God says: ‘What right have you to talk of my statutes, or take my covenant into your mouth
17 Iwe umadana ndi malangizo anga ndipo umaponyera kumbuyo kwako mawu anga.
while you yourself hate correction, and cast my words behind you?
18 Ukaona wakuba umamutsatira, umachita maere ako pamodzi ndi achigololo
When you see a thief, you run with them; with adulterers you keep company.
19 Umagwiritsa ntchito pakamwa pako pa zinthu zoyipa ndipo umakonza lilime lako kuchita chinyengo.
You let your mouth loose for evil, your tongue contrives deceit.
20 Nthawi zonse umayankhula motsutsana ndi mʼbale wako ndipo umasinjirira mwana wa amayi ako enieni.
You shamefully speak of your kin, and slander your own mother’s son.
21 Wachita zimenezi ndipo Ine ndinali chete; umaganiza kuti ndine wofanana nawe koma ndidzakudzudzula ndipo ndidzakutsutsa pamaso pako.
And because I kept silence at this, you did take me for one like yourself. But I will convict you and show you plainly.
22 “Ganizira izi, iwe amene umayiwala Mulungu kuti ndingakukadzule popanda wokupulumutsa:
‘Now you who forget God, mark this, lest I rend you, past hope of deliverance.
23 Iye amene amapereka nsembe yamayamiko amandilemekeza, ndipo amakonza njira zake kuti ndimuonetse chipulumutso cha Mulungu.”
Those who bring a thank-offering honour me; but to those: who follows my way, I will show the salvation of God.’
