Masalimo 66
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo. Fuwulani kwa Mulungu ndi chimwemwe, dziko lonse lapansi!
To the Overseer. — A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.
2 Imbani ulemerero wa dzina lake; kumutamanda kwake kukhale kwaulemerero.
Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
3 Nenani kwa Mulungu, “Ntchito zanu ndi zoopsa ndithu! Mphamvu yanu ndi yayikulu kwambiri kotero kuti adani anu amawerama pamaso panu.
Say to God, 'How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
4 Dziko lonse lapansi limaweramira inu; limayimba matamando kwa Inu; limayimba matamando pa dzina lanu.” (Sela)
All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' (Selah)
5 Bwerani mudzaone zimene Mulungu wachita, ntchito zanu ndi zoopsa ndithu pakati pa anthu.
Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
6 Iye anasandutsa nyanja kukhala malo owuma, iwo anawoloka pa madzi ndi mapazi. Bwerani, tiyeni tikondwere mwa Iye.
He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
7 Iye amalamulira ndi mphamvu zake mpaka muyaya, maso ake amayangʼanira anthu a mitundu ina. Anthu owukira asadzitukumule.
Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. (Selah)
8 Tamandani Mulungu wathu, inu mitundu ya anthu, mulole kuti mawu a matamando ake amveke;
Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
9 Iye watchinjiriza miyoyo yathu ndi kusunga mapazi athu kuti angaterereke.
Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
10 Pakuti Inu Mulungu munatiyesa; munatiyenga ngati siliva.
For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
11 Inu mwatilowetsa mʼndende ndi kutisenzetsa zolemera pa misana yathu.
Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
12 Inu munalola kuti anthu akwere pa mitu yathu; ife tinadutsa mʼmoto ndi mʼmadzi, koma Inu munatibweretsa ku malo a zinthu zochuluka.
Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
13 Ine ndidzabwera ku Nyumba yanu ndi nsembe zopsereza ndi kukwaniritsa malumbiro anga.
I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
14 Malumbiro amene milomo yanga inalonjeza ndi pakamwa panga panayankhula pamene ndinali pa mavuto.
For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
15 Ndidzapereka nsembe nyama zonenepa kwa Inu ndi chopereka cha nkhosa zazimuna; ndidzapereka ngʼombe zamphongo ndi mbuzi. (Sela)
'Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' (Selah)
16 Bwerani ndipo mudzamve inu nonse amene mumaopa Mulungu. Ndidzakuwuzani zimene Iyeyo wandichitira.
Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
17 Ndinafuwula kwa Iye ndi pakamwa panga, matamando ake anali pa lilime panga.
Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.
18 Ndikanasekerera tchimo mu mtima mwanga Ambuye sakanamvera;
Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
19 koma ndithu Mulungu wamvetsera ndipo watchera khutu ku mawu a kupempha kwanga.
But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Matamando akhale kwa Mulungu amene sanakane pemphero langa kapena kuletsa chikondi chake pa ine!
Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
