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 Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
2 Mumati, “Ine ndimayika nthawi yoyenera, ndine amene ndimaweruza mwachilungamo.
When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
3 Pamene dziko lapansi ndi anthu ake onse anjenjemera, ndine amene ndimagwiriziza mizati yake molimba. (Sela)
The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)
4 Kwa odzitama ndikuti, ‘Musadzitamenso,’ ndipo kwa oyipa, ‘Musatukulenso nyanga zanu.
I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
5 Musatukule nyanga zanu motsutsana ndi kumwamba; musayankhule ndi khosi losololoka.’”
Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”
6 Kugamula milandu sikuchokera kummawa kapena kumadzulo kapena ku chipululu.
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
7 Koma ndi Mulungu amene amaweruza: Iyeyo amatsitsa wina, nakwezanso wina.
But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts 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 Yahweh’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
9 Kunena za ine, ndidzalengeza izi kwamuyaya; ndidzayimba matamando kwa Mulungu wa Yakobo.
But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 Ndidzadula nyanga za onse oyipa koma nyanga za olungama zidzakwezedwa.
I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
