< Masalimo 72 >
1 Salimo la Solomoni. Patsani mwana wa mfumu nzeru zanu zoweruzira mwa chilungamo, Inu Mulungu mupatseni mwana wa mfumu chilungamo chanu.
[A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 Iye adzaweruza anthu anu mwachilungamo, anthu anu ozunzika mosakondera.
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 Mapiri adzabweretsa chuma kwa anthu anu, timapiri tidzabweretsa zipatso zachilungamo.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 Iye adzateteza ozunzika pakati pa anthu ndi kupulumutsa ana a anthu osowa; adzaphwanya ozunza anzawo.
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 Adzakhala ndi moyo pa mibado yonse, nthawi zonse pamene dzuwa ndi mwezi zikuwala.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 Iye adzakhala kugwa kwa mvula pa minda yolimidwa ngati mivumbi yothirira dziko lapansi.
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [that] water the earth.
7 Mʼmasiku a munthu wolungama adzakhazikika; chuma chidzachuluka mpaka mwezi utaleka kuwala.
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 Iye adzalamulira kuchokera ku nyanja ina mpaka ku nyanja ina ndiponso kuchokera ku mtsinje mpaka ku malekezero a dziko lapansi.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 Mafuko a mʼchipululu adzawerama pamaso pake ndipo adani ake adzanyambita fumbi.
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Mafumu a ku Tarisisi ndi a ku zilumba zakutali adzabweretsa mitulo kwa iye, mafumu a ku Seba ndi Seba adzapereka mphatso kwa iyeyo.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Mafumu onse adzamuweramira ndipo mitundu yonse idzamutumikira.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 Pakuti iye adzawombola wosowa amene akulira, wozunzika amene alibe wina womuthandiza.
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.
13 Iye adzachitira chifundo anthu ofowoka ndi anthu osowa ndi kupulumutsa osowa ku imfa.
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 Iye adzalanditsa iwo ku mazunzo ndi chiwawa pakuti magazi awo ndi amtengo wapatali pamaso pake.
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 Iye akhale ndi moyo wautali; golide ochokera ku Seba apatsidwe kwa iye. Anthu amupempherere nthawi zonse ndi kumudalitsa tsiku lonse.
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised.
16 Mulole kuti tirigu achuluke mʼdziko lonse; pamwamba pa mapiri pakhale tirigu. Zipatso zake zichuluke ngati za ku Lebanoni; zichuluke ngati udzu wakuthengo
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 Dzina lake likhazikike kwamuyaya, lipitirire kukhala monga momwe limakhalira dzuwa. Mitundu yonse idzadalitsika kudzera mwa iye ndipo iwo adzamutcha iye wodala.
His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Matamando akhale kwa Yehova Mulungu, Mulungu wa Israeli amene Iye yekha amachita ntchito zodabwitsa.
Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
19 Matamando akhale ku dzina lake laulemerero kwamuyaya dziko lonse lapansi lidzaze ndi ulemerero wake. Ameni ndi Ameni.
And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 Uku ndiko kumaliza kwa mapemphero a Davide mwana wa Yese.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
