Masalimo 84
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Gititi. Salimo la ana a Kora. Malo anu okhalamo ndi okomadi, Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse!
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 Moyo wanga ukulakalaka, mpaka kukomoka, kufuna mabwalo a Yehova; Mtima wanga ndi thupi langa zikufuwulira Mulungu wamoyo.
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Ngakhale timba wapeza nyumba yokhalamo, ndiponso namzeze wadzipezera yekha chisa, kumene amagonekako ana ake pafupi ndi guwa lanu la nsembe, Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga.
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Odala amene amakhala mʼNyumba yanu; nthawi zonse amakutamandani. (Sela)
Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)
5 Odala amene mphamvu yawo ili mwa Inu, mitima yawo ikufunitsitsa kuyenda mʼmisewu yopita ku Ziyoni.
Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart [are] the ways [of them].
6 Pamene akudutsa chigwa cha Baka, amachisandutsa malo a akasupe; mvula ya chizimalupsa imadzazanso mayiwe ake.
[Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 Iwo amanka nakulirakulira mphamvu mpaka aliyense ataonekera pamaso pa Mulungu mu Ziyoni.
They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in Zion appeareth before God.
8 Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse; mvereni Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo. (Sela)
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Yangʼanani chishango chathu, Inu Mulungu; yangʼanani mokoma mtima pa wodzozedwa wanu.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 Nʼkwabwino kukhala mʼmabwalo anu tsiku limodzi kuposa kukhala kwina kwake kwa zaka 1,000; Ine ndingakonde kukhala mlonda wa pa khomo la Nyumba ya Mulungu wanga kuposa kukhala mʼmatenti a anthu oyipa.
For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Pakuti Yehova Mulungu ndi dzuwa ndi chishango; Yehova amapereka chisomo ndi ulemu; Iye sawamana zinthu zabwino iwo amene amayenda mwangwiro.
For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, wodala ndi munthu amene amakhulupirira Inu.
O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in thee.
