Masalimo 84
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Gititi. Salimo la ana a Kora. Malo anu okhalamo ndi okomadi, Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse!
[For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] How lovely are your dwellings, Jehovah of hosts.
2 Moyo wanga ukulakalaka, mpaka kukomoka, kufuna mabwalo a Yehova; Mtima wanga ndi thupi langa zikufuwulira Mulungu wamoyo.
My soul longs, yes, yearns for the courts of Jehovah. My heart and my flesh cry 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.
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Jehovah of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Odala amene amakhala mʼNyumba yanu; nthawi zonse amakutamandani. (Sela)
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are ever praising you. (Selah)
5 Odala amene mphamvu yawo ili mwa Inu, mitima yawo ikufunitsitsa kuyenda mʼmisewu yopita ku Ziyoni.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 Pamene akudutsa chigwa cha Baka, amachisandutsa malo a akasupe; mvula ya chizimalupsa imadzazanso mayiwe ake.
Passing through the Valley of Baca, he makes it into a spring. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7 Iwo amanka nakulirakulira mphamvu mpaka aliyense ataonekera pamaso pa Mulungu mu Ziyoni.
They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.
8 Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse; mvereni Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo. (Sela)
Jehovah, the God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Yangʼanani chishango chathu, Inu Mulungu; yangʼanani mokoma mtima pa wodzozedwa wanu.
Look, God our shield, look at the face of your 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 your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of 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 Jehovah God is a sun and a shield. Jehovah will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, wodala ndi munthu amene amakhulupirira Inu.
Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
