Masalimo 77
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Yedutuni. Salimo la Asafu. Ndinafuwulira Mulungu kupempha thandizo; ndinafuwula mokweza kwa Mulungu kuti anditcherere khutu.
For the excellent musician Ieduthun. A Psalme committed to Asaph. My voyce came to God, when I cryed: my voyce came to God, and he heard me.
2 Pamene ndinali pa masautso ndinafunafuna Ambuye; usiku ndinatambasula manja mosalekeza ndipo moyo wanga unakana kutonthozedwa.
In the day of my trouble I sought ye Lord: my sore ranne and ceased not in the night: my soule refused comfort.
3 Ndinakumbukira Inu Mulungu, ndipo ndinabuwula; ndinasinkhasinkha ndipo mzimu wanga unalefuka. (Sela)
I did thinke vpon God, and was troubled: I praied, and my spirit was full of anguish. (Selah)
4 Munagwira zikope zanga kuti ndisagone ndipo ndinavutika kwambiri kuti ndiyankhule.
Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speake.
5 Ndinaganizira za masiku akale, zaka zamakedzana;
Then I considered the daies of olde, and the yeeres of ancient time.
6 Ndinakumbukira nyimbo zanga usiku. Mtima wanga unasinkhasinkha ndipo mzimu wanga unafunsa kuti,
I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine owne heart, and my spirit searched diligently.
7 “Kodi Ambuye adzatikana mpaka muyaya? Kodi Iwo sadzaonetsanso kukoma mtima kwawo?
Will the Lord absent him selfe for euer? and will he shewe no more fauour?
8 Kodi Chikondi chake chosatha chija chatheratu? Kodi malonjezo ake alephera nthawi yonse?
Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promise faile for euermore?
9 Kodi Mulungu wayiwala kukhala wokoma mtima? Kodi mu mkwiyo wake waleka chifundo chake?”
Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies in displeasure? (Selah)
10 Ndipo ndinaganiza, “Pa izi ine ndidzapemphanso: zaka za dzanja lamanja la Wammwambamwamba.
And I sayde, This is my death: yet I remembred the yeeres of the right hand of the most High.
11 Ine ndidzakumbukira ntchito za Yehova; Ine ndidzakumbukira zodabwitsa zanu za kalekale.
I remembred the workes of the Lord: certainely I remembred thy wonders of olde.
12 Ndidzakumbukira ntchito zanu ndi kulingalira zodabwitsa zanu.”
I did also meditate all thy woorkes, and did deuise of thine actes, saying,
13 Njira zanu Mulungu ndi zoyera. Kodi ndi mulungu uti ali wamkulu kuposa Mulungu wathu?
Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who is so great a God as our God!
14 Inu ndinu Mulungu wochita zodabwitsa; Mumaonetsera mphamvu yanu pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
Thou art ye God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy power among the people.
15 Ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu munawombola anthu anu, zidzukulu za Yakobo ndi Yosefe. (Sela)
Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arme, euen the sonnes of Iaakob and Ioseph. (Selah)
16 Madzi anakuonani Mulungu, madzi anakuonani ndipo anachita mantha; nyanja yozama inakomoka.
The waters sawe thee, O God: the waters sawe thee, and were afraide: yea, the depths trembled.
17 Mitambo inakhuthula madzi ake pansi, mu mlengalenga munamveka mabingu; mivi yanu inawuluka uku ndi uku.
The cloudes powred out water: the heauens gaue a sounde: yea, thine arrowes went abroade.
18 Bingu lanu linamveka mʼmphepo ya kamvuluvulu, mphenzi yanu inawalitsa dziko lonse; dziko lapansi linanjenjemera ndi kugwedezeka.
The voyce of thy thunder was rounde about: the lightnings lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and shooke.
19 Njira yanu inadutsa pa nyanja, njira yanu inadutsa pa madzi amphamvu, ngakhale zidindo za mapazi anu sizinaoneke.
Thy way is in the Sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footesteps are not knowen.
20 Inu munatsogolera anthu anu ngati gulu la nkhosa mwa dzanja la Mose ndi Aaroni.
Thou diddest leade thy people like sheepe by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
