< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
Tamandani Yehova. Tamanda Yehova, iwe moyo wanga.
2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
Ndidzatamanda Yehova ndi moyo wanga wonse; ndidzayimba nyimbo zamatamando kwa Mulungu wanga nthawi yonse ya moyo wanga.
3 Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
Musamadalire mafumu, anthu osakhalitsa, amene sangathe kupulumutsa.
4 His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
Pamene mizimu yawo yachoka, iwo amabwerera ku dothi; zimene ankafuna kuchita zimatha tsiku lomwelo.
5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,
Wodala ndi amene thandizo lake ndi Mulungu wa Yakobo.
6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
Wolenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo; Yehova, amene ndi wokhulupirika kwamuyaya.
7 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
Iye amachitira chilungamo anthu oponderezedwa ndipo amapereka chakudya kwa anthu anjala. Yehova amamasula amʼndende,
8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,
Yehova amatsekula maso anthu osaona, Yehova amadzutsa onse amene awerama pansi, Yehova amakonda anthu olungama.
9 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
Yehova amasamalira alendo ndipo amathandiza ana ndi akazi amasiye, koma amasokoneza njira za anthu oyipa.
10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
Yehova ndiye Mfumu mpaka muyaya, Mulungu wako iwe Ziyoni, pa mibado yonse. Tamandani Yehova.
