Psalms 48
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath. The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on 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 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, 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 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.
Mulungu ali mu malinga ake; Iye wadzionetsa yekha kuti ndiye malinga akewo.
4 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.
Pamene mafumu anasonkhana pamodzi, pamene anayendera pamodzi kudzalimbana nafe,
5 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.
iwo anaona mzindawo ndipo anadabwa kwambiri; anathawa ndi mantha aakulu.
6 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.
Pomwepo anagwidwa nako kunjenjemera, ululu wonga wa mkazi woyembekezera pa nthawi yochira.
7 With a vehement spirit, you will crush 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 has founded it in eternity.
Monga momwe tinamvera, kotero ife tinaona mu mzinda wa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, mu mzinda wa Mulungu wathu. Mulungu adzawuteteza kwamuyaya.
9 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.
Mʼkati mwa Nyumba yanu Mulungu, ife timalingaliramo zachikondi chanu chosasinthika.
10 According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.
Monga dzina lanu, Inu Mulungu, matamando anu amafika ku malekezero a dziko lapansi dzanja lanu lamanja ladzaza ndi chilungamo.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.
Phiri la Ziyoni likukondwera, midzi ya Yuda ndi yosangalala chifukwa cha maweruzo anu.
12 Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers.
Yendayendani mu Ziyoni, uzungulireni mzindawo, werengani nsanja zake.
13 Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation.
Yangʼanitsitsani bwino mipanda yake, penyetsetsani malinga ake, kuti mudzafotokoze za izo ku mʼbado wotsatira.
14 For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.
Pakuti Mulungu uyu ndi Mulungu wathu ku nthawi zosatha; Iye adzakhala mtsogoleri wathu mpaka ku mapeto.
