Masalimo 68
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Adzuke Mulungu, adani ake amwazikane; adani ake athawe pamaso pake.
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered. Let also those who hate him flee before him.
2 Monga momwe mphepo imachotsera utsi; Inu muwawulutsire kutali. Monga phula limasungunukira pa moto, oyipa awonongeke pamaso pa Mulungu.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Koma olungama asangalale ndi kukondwera pamaso pa Mulungu; iwo akondwere ndi kusangalala.
But let the righteous be glad. Let them exult before God. Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Imbirani Mulungu imbirani dzina lake matamando, mukwezeni Iye amene amakwera pa mitambo; dzina lake ndi Yehova ndipo sangalalani pamaso pake.
Sing to God, sing praises to his name. Cast up a highway for him who rides through the deserts. His name is Jehovah, and exult ye before him.

God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

O God, when thou went forth before thy people, when thou marched through the wilderness (Selah)

the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, Sinai at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Munapereka mivumbi yochuluka, Inu Mulungu; munatsitsimutsa cholowa chanu cholefuka.
Thou, O God, sent a plentiful rain. Thou confirmed thine inheritance when it was weary.
10 Anthu anu anakhala mʼmenemo ndipo munapatsa anthu osauka zimene zinkawasowa chifukwa cha ubwino wanu Mulungu.
Thy congregation dwelt in it. Thou, O God, prepared for the poor from thy goodness.
11 Ambuye analengeza mawu, ndipo gulu linali lalikulu la iwo amene anapita kukawafalitsa;
The Lord gave the word. Great was the company of those who published it.
12 “Mafumu ndi ankhondo anathawa mwaliwiro; mʼmisasa anthu anagawana zolanda pa nkhondo.
Kings of armies fled quickly, and she who remained at home divided the spoil.
13 Ngakhale mukugona pakati pa makola a ziweto, mapiko a nkhunda akutidwa ndi siliva, nthenga zake ndi golide wonyezimira.”
Though ye lie between two boundaries, it is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold.

Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God has desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it forever.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
18 Pamene Inu munakwera mmwamba, munatsogolera a mʼndende ambiri; munalandira mphatso kuchokera kwa anthu, ngakhale kuchokera kwa owukira, kuti Inu Mulungu, mukhale kumeneko.

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan. I will bring again from the depths of the sea,

O God, awesome out of thy holy places, the God of Israel, he gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
