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 leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” How lovely 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, fainteth, for the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry aloud 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.
The very sparrow findeth an abode, And the swallow a nest, where they may lay their young, By thine altars, O LORD of hosts, My king and my God!
4 Odala amene amakhala mʼNyumba yanu; nthawi zonse amakutamandani. (Sela)
Happy they who dwell in thy house, Who are continually praising thee! (Pause)
5 Odala amene mphamvu yawo ili mwa Inu, mitima yawo ikufunitsitsa kuyenda mʼmisewu yopita ku Ziyoni.
Happy the man whose glory is in thee, In whose heart are the ways [[to Jerusalem]]!
6 Pamene akudutsa chigwa cha Baka, amachisandutsa malo a akasupe; mvula ya chizimalupsa imadzazanso mayiwe ake.
Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a fountain; and the early rain covereth it with blessings.
7 Iwo amanka nakulirakulira mphamvu mpaka aliyense ataonekera pamaso pa Mulungu mu Ziyoni.
They go on from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
8 Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse; mvereni Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo. (Sela)
Hear my prayer, O LORD, God of hosts! Give ear, O God of Jacob! (Pause)
9 Yangʼanani chishango chathu, Inu Mulungu; yangʼanani mokoma mtima pa wodzozedwa wanu.
Look down, O God! our shield, And behold 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 spent in thy courts is better than a thousand: I would rather stand on the threshold of the house of my God, Than 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 a shield; The LORD giveth grace and glory; No good thing doth he withhold From them that walk uprightly.
12 Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, wodala ndi munthu amene amakhulupirira Inu.
O LORD of hosts! Happy the man who trusteth in thee!
