Psalms 84
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Gititi. Salimo la ana a Kora. Malo anu okhalamo ndi okomadi, Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse!
2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Moyo wanga ukulakalaka, mpaka kukomoka, kufuna mabwalo a Yehova; Mtima wanga ndi thupi langa zikufuwulira Mulungu wamoyo.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
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.
4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
Odala amene amakhala mʼNyumba yanu; nthawi zonse amakutamandani. (Sela)
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Odala amene mphamvu yawo ili mwa Inu, mitima yawo ikufunitsitsa kuyenda mʼmisewu yopita ku Ziyoni.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
Pamene akudutsa chigwa cha Baka, amachisandutsa malo a akasupe; mvula ya chizimalupsa imadzazanso mayiwe ake.
7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
Iwo amanka nakulirakulira mphamvu mpaka aliyense ataonekera pamaso pa Mulungu mu Ziyoni.
8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse; mvereni Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo. (Sela)
9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
Yangʼanani chishango chathu, Inu Mulungu; yangʼanani mokoma mtima pa wodzozedwa wanu.
10 For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
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.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
Pakuti Yehova Mulungu ndi dzuwa ndi chishango; Yehova amapereka chisomo ndi ulemu; Iye sawamana zinthu zabwino iwo amene amayenda mwangwiro.
12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, wodala ndi munthu amene amakhulupirira Inu.
