Psalms 81
1 Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a gititi. Salimo la Asafu. Imbani mwachimwemwe kwa Mulungu mphamvu yathu; Fuwulani mokweza kwa Mulungu wa Yakobo!
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
Yambani nyimbo, imbani tambolini imbani pangwe wolira bwino ndi zeze.
3 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.
Imbani lipenga la nyanga ya nkhosa yayimuna pa mwezi watsopano, ndi pamene mwezi waoneka wonse, pa tsiku la phwando;
4 For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
ili ndi lamulo kwa Israeli, langizo la Mulungu wa Yakobo.
5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.
Iye anapereka lamulolo kwa zidzukulu za Yosefe pamene anatuluka kulimbana ndi Igupto, kumene tinamva chiyankhulo chimene sitinachidziwe.
6 He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.
Iye akunena kuti, “Ine ndinachotsa zolemetsa pa mapewa awo; Manja awo anamasulidwa mʼdengu.
7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
Pa mavuto anu munayitana ndipo ndinakulanditsani, ndinakuyankhani kuchokera mʼmitambo ya mabingu; ndinakuyesani pa madzi a ku Meriba. (Sela)
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,
“Imvani anthu anga, ndipo ndidzakuchenjezani ngati mungathe kumvetsera, Inu Israeli!
9 There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
Musadzakhale ndi mulungu wachilendo pakati panu; musadzagwadire mulungu wina.
10 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto. Yasamani kukamwa kwanu ndipo ndidzakudyetsani.
11 But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.
“Koma anthu anga sanandimvere; Israeli sanandigonjere.
12 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.
Kotero ndinawasiya ndi mitima yawo yosamverayo kuti atsate zimene ankafuna.
13 If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:
“Anthu anga akanangondimvera, Israeli akanatsatira njira zanga,
14 I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
nʼkanafulumira motani kuti ndigonjetse adani awo ndi kutembenuza mkono wanga kulimbana ndi amaliwongo!
15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.
Iwo amene amadana ndi Yehova akanakhwinyata pamaso pake, ndipo chilango chawo chinakakhala mpaka kalekale.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.
Koma inu mukanadyetsedwa tirigu wabwino kwambiri; ndikanakukhutitsani ndi uchi wochokera pa thanthwe.”
