< 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!
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Asafu. Mumuyimbire nnyo n’essanyu Katonda amaanyi gaffe; muyimuse waggulu amaloboozi gammwe eri Katonda wa Yakobo!
2 Yambani nyimbo, imbani tambolini imbani pangwe wolira bwino ndi zeze.
Mutandike okuyimba, mukube ebitaasa n’ennanga evuga obulungi ey’enkoba awamu n’entongooli.
3 Imbani lipenga la nyanga ya nkhosa yayimuna pa mwezi watsopano, ndi pamene mwezi waoneka wonse, pa tsiku la phwando;
Mufuuwe eŋŋombe ng’omwezi gwakaboneka, era mugifuuwe nga gwa ggabogabo, ku lunaku olw’embaga yaffe.
4 ili ndi lamulo kwa Israeli, langizo la Mulungu wa Yakobo.
Ekyo kye kiragiro eri Isirayiri, lye tteeka lya Katonda wa Yakobo.
5 Iye anapereka lamulolo kwa zidzukulu za Yosefe pamene anatuluka kulimbana ndi Igupto, kumene tinamva chiyankhulo chimene sitinachidziwe.
Yaliteekera Yusufu, Katonda bwe yalumba ensi ya Misiri; gye nawulirira olulimi olwannema okutegeera.
6 Iye akunena kuti, “Ine ndinachotsa zolemetsa pa mapewa awo; Manja awo anamasulidwa mʼdengu.
“Nnamutikkula omugugu okuva ku kibegabega kye; n’emikono gye ne ngiwummuza okusitula ebisero.
7 Pa mavuto anu munayitana ndipo ndinakulanditsani, ndinakuyankhani kuchokera mʼmitambo ya mabingu; ndinakuyesani pa madzi a ku Meriba. (Sela)
Mwankoowoola nga muli mu nnaku ne mbadduukirira ne mbawonya, nabaanukulira mu kubwatuka mu kire; ne mbagezesa ku mazzi ag’e Meriba.
8 “Imvani anthu anga, ndipo ndidzakuchenjezani ngati mungathe kumvetsera, Inu Israeli!
Muwulire, mmwe abantu bange, nga mbalabula. Singa onompuliriza, ggwe Isirayiri!
9 Musadzakhale ndi mulungu wachilendo pakati panu; musadzagwadire mulungu wina.
Temubeeranga na katonda mulala, wadde okuvuunamira katonda omulala yenna.
10 Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto. Yasamani kukamwa kwanu ndipo ndidzakudyetsani.
Nze Mukama Katonda wo, eyakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri. Yasamya akamwa ko, nange nnaakajjuza.
11 “Koma anthu anga sanandimvere; Israeli sanandigonjere.
“Naye abantu bange tebampuliriza; Isirayiri teyaŋŋondera.
12 Kotero ndinawasiya ndi mitima yawo yosamverayo kuti atsate zimene ankafuna.
Nange ne mbawaayo eri obujeemu bw’omutima gwabwe, okugoberera ebyo bye baagala.
13 “Anthu anga akanangondimvera, Israeli akanatsatira njira zanga,
“Singa abantu bange bampuliriza; singa Isirayiri agondera ebiragiro byange,
14 nʼkanafulumira motani kuti ndigonjetse adani awo ndi kutembenuza mkono wanga kulimbana ndi amaliwongo!
mangwago nandirwanyisizza abalabe baabwe, ne mbawangula.
15 Iwo amene amadana ndi Yehova akanakhwinyata pamaso pake, ndipo chilango chawo chinakakhala mpaka kalekale.
Abo abakyawa Mukama ne beegonza gy’ali; ekibonerezo kyabwe kya mirembe gyonna.
16 Koma inu mukanadyetsedwa tirigu wabwino kwambiri; ndikanakukhutitsani ndi uchi wochokera pa thanthwe.”
Naye ggwe, Isirayiri, nandikuliisizza eŋŋaano esingira ddala obulungi, ne nkukkusa omubisi gw’enjuki nga guva mu lwazi.”
