Psalms 48
1 A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily 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 elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north, —The city of a 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, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.
Mulungu ali mu malinga ake; Iye wadzionetsa yekha kuti ndiye malinga akewo.
4 For lo! Kings—Met as appointed, Passed by together;
Pamene mafumu anasonkhana pamodzi, pamene anayendera pamodzi kudzalimbana nafe,
5 They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed—they hurried way!
iwo anaona mzindawo ndipo anadabwa kwambiri; anathawa ndi mantha aakulu.
6 Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.
Pomwepo anagwidwa nako kunjenjemera, ululu wonga wa mkazi woyembekezera pa nthawi yochira.
7 With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.
Inu munawawononga monga sitima zapamadzi za ku Tarisisi zitawonongeka ndi mphepo ya kummawa.
8 Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. (Selah)
Monga momwe tinamvera, kotero ife tinaona mu mzinda wa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, mu mzinda wa Mulungu wathu. Mulungu adzawuteteza kwamuyaya.
9 We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, In the midst of thy temple:
Mʼkati mwa Nyumba yanu Mulungu, ife timalingaliramo zachikondi chanu chosasinthika.
10 According to thy Name, O God, So, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.
Monga dzina lanu, Inu Mulungu, matamando anu amafika ku malekezero a dziko lapansi dzanja lanu lamanja ladzaza ndi chilungamo.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.
Phiri la Ziyoni likukondwera, midzi ya Yuda ndi yosangalala chifukwa cha maweruzo anu.
12 Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;
Yendayendani mu Ziyoni, uzungulireni mzindawo, werengani nsanja zake.
13 Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;
Yangʼanitsitsani bwino mipanda yake, penyetsetsani malinga ake, kuti mudzafotokoze za izo ku mʼbado wotsatira.
14 For, this God, is our God, to times age-abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.
Pakuti Mulungu uyu ndi Mulungu wathu ku nthawi zosatha; Iye adzakhala mtsogoleri wathu mpaka ku mapeto.
