Masalimo 53

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Mahalati. Ndakatulo ya Davide. Chitsiru chimati mu mtima mwake, “Kulibe Mulungu.” Iwo ndi oyipa ndipo njira zawo ndi zonyansa; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene amachita chabwino.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe nublanuigbe me. Bometsila gblɔ le eƒe dzi me be, “Mawu aɖeke meli o.” Wonye ame baɖawo, woƒe mɔwo hã nye nu tovowo, ame aɖeke meli si wɔa nu nyui o.

2 Mulungu kumwamba amayangʼana pansi pano pa ana a anthu kuti aone ngati alipo wina wanzeru, wofunafuna Mulungu.

Mawu lé ŋku ɖe amegbetɔviwo ŋu tso dziƒo, ne wòakpɔe ɖa be ame aɖe se nu gɔme alo di Mawu hã.

3 Aliyense wabwerera, iwo onse pamodzi akhala oyipa; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene amachita chabwino, ngakhale mmodzi.

Ke ame sia ame trɔ megbe dee, wo katã tim wɔ nu tovo; ame ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ hã meli si wɔa nu nyui o, ɖeka pɛ hã meli o.

4 Kodi anthu ochita zoyipawa adzaphunziradi; anthu amene amadya anthu anga monga mmene anthu amadyera buledi, ndipo sapemphera kwa Mulungu?

Ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, ame siwo vuvu nye dukɔ abe ale si woɖua aboloe ene, eye womeyɔa Mawu o la ava srɔ̃ nu gbe aɖe gbea?

5 Iwo anali pamenepo atathedwa nzeru ndi mantha aakulu pamene panalibe kanthu kochititsa mantha. Mulungu anamwazamwaza mafupa a anthu amene anakuthirani nkhondo; inuyo munawachititsa manyazi, pakuti Mulungu anawanyoza.

Woawoe ma ŋɔdzi lé, evɔ ŋɔdzinu aɖeke meli hafi o. Mawu gbã ƒu ɖe lãme na ame siwo tso ɖe mia ŋu la; ena ŋukpe lé wo, elabena Mawu gbe wo.

6 Ndithu, chipulumutso cha Israeli nʼchochokera ku Ziyoni! Pamene Mulungu adzabwezeretsanso ulemerero wa anthu ake, lolani Yakobo akondwere ndi Israeli asangalale!

O! Xɔname neva tso Zion na Israel! Ne Mawu gaɖo eƒe dukɔ ƒe nunyonamewo te la, Yakob netso aseye, eye Israel nekpɔ dzidzɔ!
