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.

For the leader; al tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song. We praise you, God, we praise you: we would call on your name and declare your wonders.

2 Mumati, “Ine ndimayika nthawi yoyenera, ndine amene ndimaweruza mwachilungamo.

‘At the time I choose, I will judge fairly.

3 Pamene dziko lapansi ndi anthu ake onse anjenjemera, ndine amene ndimagwiriziza mizati yake molimba. (Sela)

Though earth melt and all her inhabitants, it is I who keep steady her pillars.’ (Selah)

4 Kwa odzitama ndikuti, ‘Musadzitamenso,’ ndipo kwa oyipa, ‘Musatukulenso nyanga zanu.

I say to the boasters, ‘Boast not’; to the wicked, ‘Lift not up your horn:

5 Musatukule nyanga zanu motsutsana ndi kumwamba; musayankhule ndi khosi losololoka.’”

lift not your horn on high, speak not boldly against the Rock.’

6 Kugamula milandu sikuchokera kummawa kapena kumadzulo kapena ku chipululu.

For not from east nor west, not from desert nor mountains;

7 Koma ndi Mulungu amene amaweruza: Iyeyo amatsitsa wina, nakwezanso wina.

but God himself is the judge, humbling one and exalting 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.

In the hand of the Lord is a cup foaming wine, richly spiced. Out of this he pours a draught, and all the wicked of earth must drain it down to the dregs.

9 Kunena za ine, ndidzalengeza izi kwamuyaya; ndidzayimba matamando kwa Mulungu wa Yakobo.

But I will rejoice forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 Ndidzadula nyanga za onse oyipa koma nyanga za olungama zidzakwezedwa.

I will hew all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted.
