Psalms 81
1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout 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 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.
Yambani nyimbo, imbani tambolini imbani pangwe wolira bwino ndi zeze.
3 Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
Imbani lipenga la nyanga ya nkhosa yayimuna pa mwezi watsopano, ndi pamene mwezi waoneka wonse, pa tsiku la phwando;
4 For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
ili ndi lamulo kwa Israeli, langizo la Mulungu wa Yakobo.
5 He has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.
Iye anapereka lamulolo kwa zidzukulu za Yosefe pamene anatuluka kulimbana ndi Igupto, kumene tinamva chiyankhulo chimene sitinachidziwe.
6 I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.
Iye akunena kuti, “Ine ndinachotsa zolemetsa pa mapewa awo; Manja awo anamasulidwa mʼdengu.
7 In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
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 testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:
“Imvani anthu anga, ndipo ndidzakuchenjezani ngati mungathe kumvetsera, Inu Israeli!
9 There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.
Musadzakhale ndi mulungu wachilendo pakati panu; musadzagwadire mulungu wina.
10 I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.
Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto. Yasamani kukamwa kwanu ndipo ndidzakudyetsani.
11 But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.
“Koma anthu anga sanandimvere; Israeli sanandigonjere.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
Kotero ndinawasiya ndi mitima yawo yosamverayo kuti atsate zimene ankafuna.
13 O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.
“Anthu anga akanangondimvera, Israeli akanatsatira njira zanga,
14 As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,
nʼkanafulumira motani kuti ndigonjetse adani awo ndi kutembenuza mkono wanga kulimbana ndi amaliwongo!
15 Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.
Iwo amene amadana ndi Yehova akanakhwinyata pamaso pake, ndipo chilango chawo chinakakhala mpaka kalekale.
16 He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
Koma inu mukanadyetsedwa tirigu wabwino kwambiri; ndikanakukhutitsani ndi uchi wochokera pa thanthwe.”
