< Psalms 132 >
1 A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,
Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Inu Yehova, kumbukirani Davide ndi mavuto onse anapirira.
2 how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Iye analumbira kwa Yehova ndi kulonjeza kwa Wamphamvu wa Yakobo kuti,
3 “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
“Sindidzalowa mʼnyumba mwanga kapena kugona pa bedi langa:
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
sindidzalola kuti maso anga agone, kapena zikope zanga ziwodzere,
5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
mpaka nditamupezera malo Yehova, malo okhala a Wamphamvu wa Yakobo.”
6 We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
Zoonadi, tinamva za Bokosi la Chipangano ku Efurata, tinalipeza mʼminda ya ku Yaara:
7 Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
“Tiyeni tipite ku malo ake okhalamo; tiyeni tikamulambire pa mapazi ake.
8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
‘Dzukani Yehova, ndipo bwerani ku malo anu opumulira, Inuyo ndi Bokosi la Chipangano limene limafanizira mphamvu zanu.
9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
Ansembe anu avekedwe chilungamo; anthu anu oyera mtima ayimbe nyimbo mwachimwemwe.’”
10 For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
Chifukwa cha Davide mtumiki wanu, musakane wodzozedwa wanu.
11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
Yehova analumbira kwa Davide, lumbiro lotsimikizika kuti Iye sadzasintha: “Mmodzi wa ana ako ndidzamuyika pa mpando waufumu;
12 If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
ngati ana ako azisunga pangano langa ndi malamulo amene ndiwaphunzitsa, pamenepo ana awo adzakhala pa mpando wako waufumu kwamuyaya ndi muyaya.”
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
Pakuti Yehova wasankha Ziyoni, Iye wakhumba kuti akhale malo ake okhalamo:
14 “This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
“Awa ndi malo anga opumapo ku nthawi za nthawi; ndidzakhala pano pa mpando waufumu, pakuti ndakhumba zimenezi.
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Ndidzadalitsa mzindawu ndi zinthu zambiri; anthu ake osauka ndidzawakhutitsa ndi chakudya.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
Ndidzaveka ansembe ake chipulumutso, ndipo anthu ake oyera mtima adzayimba nthawi zonse nyimbo zachimwemwe.
17 There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
“Pano ndidzachulukitsa mphamvu za Davide ndi kuyikapo nyale ya wodzozedwa wanga.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
Ndidzaveka adani ake manyazi, koma chipewa chaufumu pamutu pake chidzakhala chowala.”
