Psalms 48
1 A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Nyimbo. Salimo la ana a Kora. Wamkulu ndi Yehova, ndi woyenera kwambiri matamando mu mzinda wa Mulungu wathu, phiri lake loyera.
2 Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
Lokongola mu utali mwake, chimwemwe cha dziko lonse lapansi. Malo aatali kwambiri a Zafoni ndiye Phiri la Ziyoni, mzinda wa Mfumu yayikulu.
3 God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
Mulungu ali mu malinga ake; Iye wadzionetsa yekha kuti ndiye malinga akewo.
4 For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
Pamene mafumu anasonkhana pamodzi, pamene anayendera pamodzi kudzalimbana nafe,
5 They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
iwo anaona mzindawo ndipo anadabwa kwambiri; anathawa ndi mantha aakulu.
6 Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
Pomwepo anagwidwa nako kunjenjemera, ululu wonga wa mkazi woyembekezera pa nthawi yochira.
7 With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
Inu munawawononga monga sitima zapamadzi za ku Tarisisi zitawonongeka ndi mphepo ya kummawa.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.
Monga momwe tinamvera, kotero ife tinaona mu mzinda wa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, mu mzinda wa Mulungu wathu. Mulungu adzawuteteza kwamuyaya.
9 Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
Mʼkati mwa Nyumba yanu Mulungu, ife timalingaliramo zachikondi chanu chosasinthika.
10 Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
Monga dzina lanu, Inu Mulungu, matamando anu amafika ku malekezero a dziko lapansi dzanja lanu lamanja ladzaza ndi chilungamo.
11 Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
Phiri la Ziyoni likukondwera, midzi ya Yuda ndi yosangalala chifukwa cha maweruzo anu.
12 March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
Yendayendani mu Ziyoni, uzungulireni mzindawo, werengani nsanja zake.
13 consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
Yangʼanitsitsani bwino mipanda yake, penyetsetsani malinga ake, kuti mudzafotokoze za izo ku mʼbado wotsatira.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
Pakuti Mulungu uyu ndi Mulungu wathu ku nthawi zosatha; Iye adzakhala mtsogoleri wathu mpaka ku mapeto.
