Masalimo 82

1 Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu akutsogolera msonkhano waukulu; Iye akuweruza pakati pa “milungu.”

Ihubo lika-Asafi UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu; nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”:

2 “Mudzateteza osalungama mpaka liti, ndi kukondera anthu oyipa?

“Koze kube nini livikela ababi na libonakala lithanda izigangi?

3 Tetezani anthu ofowoka ndi amasiye; mukhazikitse ufulu wa anthu osauka ndi ozunzika.

Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane; melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.

4 Landitsani anthu ofowoka ndi osowa; apulumutseni mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa.

Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo; bephuleni esandleni sababi.

5 “Iwo sadziwa kanthu, sazindikira kalikonse. Amayendayenda mu mdima; maziko onse a dziko lapansi agwedezeka.

Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho. Bayantula emnyameni; zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.

6 “Ndinati, ‘Inu ndinu Mulungu, nonsenu ndinu ana a Wammwambamwamba.’

Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”; lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’

7 Koma mudzafa ngati anthu wamba; mudzagwa ngati wolamula wina aliyense.”

Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje; lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.”

8 Dzukani Inu Mulungu, weruzani dziko lapansi, pakuti mayiko onse ndi cholowa chanu.

Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba, ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
