< Psalms 76 >
1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa zoyimbira za zingwe. Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu amadziwika mu Yuda; dzina lake ndi lotchuka mu Israeli.
2 His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.
Tenti yake ili mu Salemu, malo ake okhalamo mu Ziyoni.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
Kumeneko Iye anathyola mivi yowuluka, zishango ndi malupanga, zida zankhondo. (Sela)
4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
Wolemekezeka ndinu, wamphamvu kuposa mapiri amene ali ndi nyama zambiri.
5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
Anthu owuma mtima amagona atalandidwa chuma, Iwowo amagona tulo tawo totsiriza; palibe mmodzi wamphamvu amene angatukule manja ake.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
Pa kudzudzula kwanu, Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo, kavalo pamodzi ndi galeta zimakhala chete zitagona pansi.
7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
Inu nokha ndiye muyenera kuopedwa. Angathe kuyima pamaso panu ndani mukakwiya?
8 You pronounced judgement from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
Kuchokera kumwamba Inu munalengeza chiweruzo, ndipo dziko linaopa ndi kukhala chete,
9 when God arose to judgement, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)
pamene Inu Mulungu munadzuka kuti muweruze, kupulumutsa onse osautsidwa mʼdziko. (Sela)
10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
Zoonadi, ukali wanu pa anthu umakubweretserani matamando ndipo opulumuka ku ukali wanu mumawasunga pafupi nanu.
11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfil them! Let all of his neighbours bring presents to him who is to be feared.
Chitani malumbiro kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndipo muwakwaniritse; anthu onse omuzungulira abweretse mphatso kwa Iye amene ayenera kuopedwa.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
Iye amaswa mzimu wa olamulira; amaopedwa ndi mafumu a dziko lapansi.
