Masalimo 76

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa zoyimbira za zingwe. Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu amadziwika mu Yuda; dzina lake ndi lotchuka mu Israeli.

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

2 Tenti yake ili mu Salemu, malo ake okhalamo mu Ziyoni.

His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

3 Kumeneko Iye anathyola mivi yowuluka, zishango ndi malupanga, zida zankhondo. (Sela)

There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

4 Wolemekezeka ndinu, wamphamvu kuposa mapiri amene ali ndi nyama zambiri.

Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

5 Anthu owuma mtima amagona atalandidwa chuma, Iwowo amagona tulo tawo totsiriza; palibe mmodzi wamphamvu amene angatukule manja ake.

Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

6 Pa kudzudzula kwanu, Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo, kavalo pamodzi ndi galeta zimakhala chete zitagona pansi.

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 Inu nokha ndiye muyenera kuopedwa. Angathe kuyima pamaso panu ndani mukakwiya?

You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

8 Kuchokera kumwamba Inu munalengeza chiweruzo, ndipo dziko linaopa ndi kukhala chete,

You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

9 pamene Inu Mulungu munadzuka kuti muweruze, kupulumutsa onse osautsidwa mʼdziko. (Sela)

when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)

10 Zoonadi, ukali wanu pa anthu umakubweretserani matamando ndipo opulumuka ku ukali wanu mumawasunga pafupi nanu.

Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

11 Chitani malumbiro kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndipo muwakwaniritse; anthu onse omuzungulira abweretse mphatso kwa Iye amene ayenera kuopedwa.

Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

12 Iye amaswa mzimu wa olamulira; amaopedwa ndi mafumu a dziko lapansi.

He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
