< Masalimo 75 >
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe, potsata mayimbidwe a “Musawononge.” Salimo la Asafu. Nyimbo. Tikuthokoza Inu Mulungu, tikuthokoza, pakuti dzina lanu lili pafupi nafe, anthutu amafotokoza za ntchito zanu zodabwitsa.
To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
2 Mumati, “Ine ndimayika nthawi yoyenera, ndine amene ndimaweruza mwachilungamo.
When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
3 Pamene dziko lapansi ndi anthu ake onse anjenjemera, ndine amene ndimagwiriziza mizati yake molimba. (Sela)
When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)
4 Kwa odzitama ndikuti, ‘Musadzitamenso,’ ndipo kwa oyipa, ‘Musatukulenso nyanga zanu.
I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
5 Musatukule nyanga zanu motsutsana ndi kumwamba; musayankhule ndi khosi losololoka.’”
Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
6 Kugamula milandu sikuchokera kummawa kapena kumadzulo kapena ku chipululu.
For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
7 Koma ndi Mulungu amene amaweruza: Iyeyo amatsitsa wina, nakwezanso wina.
But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
8 Mʼdzanja la Yehova muli chikho chodzaza ndi vinyo wochita thovu, wosakanizidwa ndi zokometsera; Iye amamutsanulira pansi ndipo onse oyipa a dziko lapansi amamwa ndi senga zake zonse.
For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
9 Kunena za ine, ndidzalengeza izi kwamuyaya; ndidzayimba matamando kwa Mulungu wa Yakobo.
But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.
10 Ndidzadula nyanga za onse oyipa koma nyanga za olungama zidzakwezedwa.
By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
