Psalms 95
1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
Bwerani, tiyeni timuyimbire Yehova mwachimwemwe, tiyeni tifuwule kwa Thanthwe la chipulumutso chathu
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
Tiyeni tibwere pamaso pake ndi chiyamiko ndipo mupembedzeni Iyeyo ndi zida zoyimbira ndi nyimbo.
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
Pakuti Yehova ndi Mulungu wamkulu, mfumu yayikulu pamwamba pa milungu yonse.
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
Mʼmanja mwake muli maziko ozama a dziko lapansi, ndipo msonga za mapiri ndi zake.
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
Nyanja ndi yake, pakuti anayilenga ndi Iye, ndipo manja ake anawumba mtunda wowuma.
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
Bwerani, tiyeni tiwerame pomulambira, tiyeni tigwade pamaso pa Yehova Mlengi wathu;
7 He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
pakuti Iye ndiye Mulungu wathu ndipo ife ndife anthu a pabusa pake, ndi nkhosa za mʼdzanja lake. Lero ngati inu mumva mawu ake,
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
musawumitse mitima yanu monga momwe munachitira pa Meriba, monga munachitira tsiku lija pa Masa mʼchipululu.
9 There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
Kumene makolo anu anandiyesa ndi kundiputa, ngakhale anaona zimene Ine ndinazichita.
10 For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
Kwa zaka makumi anayi ndinali wokwiya ndi mʼbado umenewo; ndipo ndinati, “Iwo ndi anthu amene mitima yawo imasochera ndipo sanadziwe njira zanga.”
11 So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
Choncho ndili chikwiyire, ndinalumbira kuti, “Iwowa sadzalowa ku malo anga a mpumulo.”
