Masalimo 81
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a gititi. Salimo la Asafu. Imbani mwachimwemwe kwa Mulungu mphamvu yathu; Fuwulani mokweza kwa Mulungu wa Yakobo!
Sing aloud unto Elohim our strength: make a joyful noise unto the Elohim of Jacob.
2 Yambani nyimbo, imbani tambolini imbani pangwe wolira bwino ndi zeze.
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Imbani lipenga la nyanga ya nkhosa yayimuna pa mwezi watsopano, ndi pamene mwezi waoneka wonse, pa tsiku la phwando;
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4 ili ndi lamulo kwa Israeli, langizo la Mulungu wa Yakobo.
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the Elohim of Jacob.
5 Iye anapereka lamulolo kwa zidzukulu za Yosefe pamene anatuluka kulimbana ndi Igupto, kumene tinamva chiyankhulo chimene sitinachidziwe.
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
6 Iye akunena kuti, “Ine ndinachotsa zolemetsa pa mapewa awo; Manja awo anamasulidwa mʼdengu.
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
7 Pa mavuto anu munayitana ndipo ndinakulanditsani, ndinakuyankhani kuchokera mʼmitambo ya mabingu; ndinakuyesani pa madzi a ku Meriba. (Sela)
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 “Imvani anthu anga, ndipo ndidzakuchenjezani ngati mungathe kumvetsera, Inu Israeli!
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
9 Musadzakhale ndi mulungu wachilendo pakati panu; musadzagwadire mulungu wina.
There shall no strange elohim be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange el.
10 Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto. Yasamani kukamwa kwanu ndipo ndidzakudyetsani.
I am YHWH thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “Koma anthu anga sanandimvere; Israeli sanandigonjere.
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 Kotero ndinawasiya ndi mitima yawo yosamverayo kuti atsate zimene ankafuna.
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 “Anthu anga akanangondimvera, Israeli akanatsatira njira zanga,
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14 nʼkanafulumira motani kuti ndigonjetse adani awo ndi kutembenuza mkono wanga kulimbana ndi amaliwongo!
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 Iwo amene amadana ndi Yehova akanakhwinyata pamaso pake, ndipo chilango chawo chinakakhala mpaka kalekale.
The haters of YHWH should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
16 Koma inu mukanadyetsedwa tirigu wabwino kwambiri; ndikanakukhutitsani ndi uchi wochokera pa thanthwe.”
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
