Masalimo 68
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Adzuke Mulungu, adani ake amwazikane; adani ake athawe pamaso pake.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.
2 Monga momwe mphepo imachotsera utsi; Inu muwawulutsire kutali. Monga phula limasungunukira pa moto, oyipa awonongeke pamaso pa Mulungu.
As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.
3 Koma olungama asangalale ndi kukondwera pamaso pa Mulungu; iwo akondwere ndi kusangalala.
But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.
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. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds — His name is the LORD— and rejoice before Him.
5 Atate wa ana amasiye, mtetezi wa akazi amasiye, ndiye Mulungu amene amakhala mʼmalo oyera.
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.
6 Mulungu amakhazikitsa mtima pansi osungulumwa mʼmabanja, amatsogolera amʼndende ndi kuyimba; koma anthu osamvera amakhala ku malo owuma a dziko lapansi.
God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 Pamene munatuluka kutsogolera anthu anu, Inu Mulungu, pamene munayenda kudutsa chipululu,
O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland,
8 dziko lapansi linagwedezeka, miyamba inakhuthula pansi mvula, pamaso pa Mulungu, Mmodzi uja wa ku Sinai. Pamaso pa Mulungu, Mulungu wa Israeli.
the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.
9 Munapereka mivumbi yochuluka, Inu Mulungu; munatsitsimutsa cholowa chanu cholefuka.
You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.
10 Anthu anu anakhala mʼmenemo ndipo munapatsa anthu osauka zimene zinkawasowa chifukwa cha ubwino wanu Mulungu.
Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.
11 Ambuye analengeza mawu, ndipo gulu linali lalikulu la iwo amene anapita kukawafalitsa;
The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:
12 “Mafumu ndi ankhondo anathawa mwaliwiro; mʼmisasa anthu anagawana zolanda pa nkhondo.
“Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.
13 Ngakhale mukugona pakati pa makola a ziweto, mapiko a nkhunda akutidwa ndi siliva, nthenga zake ndi golide wonyezimira.”
Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”
14 Pamene Wamphamvuzonse anabalalitsa mafumu mʼdziko, zinali ngati matalala akugwa pa Zalimoni.
When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.
15 Mapiri a Basani ndi mapiri aulemerero; mapiri a Basani, ndi mapiri a msonga zambiri.
A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.
16 Muyangʼaniranji mwansanje inu mapiri a msonga zambiri, pa phiri limene Mulungu analisankha kuti azilamulira, kumene Yehova mwini adzakhalako kwamuyaya?
Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.
17 Magaleta a Mulungu ndi osawerengeka, ndi miyandamiyanda; Ambuye wabwera kuchokera ku Sinai, walowa mʼmalo ake opatulika.
The chariots of God are tens of thousands— thousands of thousands are they; the Lord is in His sanctuary as He was at Sinai.
18 Pamene Inu munakwera mmwamba, munatsogolera a mʼndende ambiri; munalandira mphatso kuchokera kwa anthu, ngakhale kuchokera kwa owukira, kuti Inu Mulungu, mukhale kumeneko.
You have ascended on high; You have led captives away. You have received gifts from men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.
19 Matamando akhale kwa Ambuye, kwa Mulungu Mpulumutsi wathu amene tsiku ndi tsiku amasenza zolemetsa zathu.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation.
20 Mulungu wathu ndi Mulungu amene amapulumutsa; Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse ndiye amene amatipulumutsa ku imfa.
Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.
21 Ndithu Mulungu adzaphwanya mitu ya adani ake, zipewa za ubweya za iwo amene amapitiriza kuchita machimo awo.
Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.
22 Ambuye akunena kuti, “Ndidzawabweretsa kuchokera ku Basani; ndidzawabweretsa kuchokera ku nyanja zozama.
The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,
23 Kuti muviyike mapazi anu mʼmagazi a adani anu, pamene malilime a agalu anu akudyapo gawo lawo.”
that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”
24 Mayendedwe aulemu a anthu anu aonekera poyera, Inu Mulungu; mayendedwe olemekeza Mulungu wanga ndi Mfumu yanga yokalowa mʼmalo opatulika.
They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.
25 Patsogolo pali oyimba nyimbo pakamwa, pambuyo pawo oyimba nyimbo ndi zipangizo; pamodzi ndi iwo pali atsikana akuyimba matambolini.
The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.
26 Tamandani Mulungu mu msonkhano waukulu; tamandani Yehova mu msonkhano wa Israeli.
Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.
27 Pali fuko lalingʼono la Benjamini, kuwatsogolera, pali gulu lalikulu la ana a mafumu a Yuda, ndiponso pali ana a mafumu a Zebuloni ndi Nafutali.
There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.
28 Kungani mphamvu zanu Mulungu; tionetseni nyonga zanu, Inu Mulungu, monga munachitira poyamba.
Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.
29 Chifukwa cha Nyumba yanu ku Yerusalemu, mafumu adzabweretsa kwa Inu mphatso.
Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.
30 Dzudzulani chirombo pakati pa mabango, gulu la ngʼombe zazimuna pakati pa ana angʼombe a mitundu ya anthu. Mochititsidwa manyazi, abweretse mitanda ya siliva. Balalitsani anthu a mitundu ina amene amasangalatsidwa ndi nkhondo.
Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31 Nthumwi zidzachokera ku Igupto; Kusi adzadzipereka yekha kwa Mulungu.
Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.
32 Imbirani Mulungu Inu mafumu a dziko lapansi imbirani Ambuye matamando. (Sela)
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord—
33 Kwa Iye amene amakwera pa mitambo yakalekale ya mmwamba amene amabangula ndi mawu amphamvu.
to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.
34 Lengezani za mphamvu za Mulungu, amene ulemerero wake uli pa Israeli amene mphamvu zake zili mʼmitambo.
Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.
35 Ndinu woopsa, Inu Mulungu mʼmalo anu opatulika; Mulungu wa Israeli amapereka mphamvu ndi nyonga kwa anthu ake. Matamando akhale kwa Mulungu!
O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!
