< Masalimo 96 >
1 Imbirani Yehova nyimbo yatsopano; Imbirani Yehova dziko lonse lapansi.
Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.
2 Imbirani Yehova, tamandani dzina lake; lalikirani chipulumutso chake tsiku ndi tsiku.
Hlabelani kuThixo, dumisani ibizo lakhe; memezelani insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.
3 Lengezani ulemerero wake pakati pa mayiko, ntchito zake zodabwitsa pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
4 Pakuti wamkulu ndi Yehova ndipo ndi woyenera kwambiri kumutamanda; ayenera kuopedwa kupambana milungu yonse.
Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
5 Pakuti milungu yonse ya anthu a mitundu ina ndi mafano, koma Yehova analenga mayiko akumwamba.
Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.
6 Ulemu ndi ufumu zili pamaso pake, mphamvu ndi ulemerero zili mʼmalo ake opatulika.
Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe; amandla lobukhosi kusendlini yakhe engcwele.
7 Perekani kwa Yehova, inu mabanja a anthu a mitundu ina, perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero ndi mphamvu.
Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.
8 Perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero woyenera dzina lake; bweretsani chopereka ndipo mulowe mʼmabwalo ake.
Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe.
9 Lambirani Yehova mu ulemerero wa chiyero chake; njenjemerani pamaso pake, dziko lonse lapansi.
Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe; thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke.
10 Nenani pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, “Yehova akulamulira.” Dziko lonse lakhazikika molimba, silingasunthidwe; Iye adzaweruza mitundu ya anthu molungama.
Wothini phakathi kwezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.” Umhlaba ugxilile, ungeke wagudluzwa; uzabehlulela abantu ngokubafaneleyo.
11 Mayiko akumwamba asangalale, dziko lapansi likondwere; nyanja ikokome, ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo;
Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule; ulwandle kaluhlokome, lakho konke okukulo;
12 minda ikondwere pamodzi ndi chilichonse chili mʼmenemo. Pamenepo mitengo yonse ya mʼnkhalango idzayimba ndi chimwemwe;
amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo. Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo;
13 idzayimba pamaso pa Yehova, pakuti Iye akubwera kudzaweruza dziko lapansi; adzaweruza dziko lonse mwachilungamo ndi mitundu ya anthu onse mʼchoonadi.
phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza, uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ahlulele abantu ngeqiniso.
