Amahubo 81
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yegithithi. Elika-Asafi Hlabelelani ngentokozo kuNkulunkulu ongamandla ethu; memezani kakhulu kuNkulunkulu kaJakhobe!
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a gititi. Salimo la Asafu. Imbani mwachimwemwe kwa Mulungu mphamvu yathu; Fuwulani mokweza kwa Mulungu wa Yakobo!
2 Qalisani ukuhlabela, tshayani isigubhu, khalisani ichacho elimnandi lomhubhe.
Yambani nyimbo, imbani tambolini imbani pangwe wolira bwino ndi zeze.
3 Khalisani uphondo lwenqama ekuThwaseni kweNyanga, lalapho inyanga isigcwele, ngelanga lomkhosi;
Imbani lipenga la nyanga ya nkhosa yayimuna pa mwezi watsopano, ndi pamene mwezi waoneka wonse, pa tsiku la phwando;
4 lesi yisimemezelo sika-Israyeli, umthetho kaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe.
ili ndi lamulo kwa Israeli, langizo la Mulungu wa Yakobo.
5 Wakumisa njengesimiso kuJosefa lapho aphuma wavukela ilizwe leGibhithe, lapho ezwa khona ulimi esasingaluzwa. Ngezwa ilizwi engingalaziyo lisithi:
Iye anapereka lamulolo kwa zidzukulu za Yosefe pamene anatuluka kulimbana ndi Igupto, kumene tinamva chiyankhulo chimene sitinachidziwe.
6 “Ngawethula umthwalo emahlombe abo; izandla zabo zakhululwa engcebethwini.
Iye akunena kuti, “Ine ndinachotsa zolemetsa pa mapewa awo; Manja awo anamasulidwa mʼdengu.
7 Ekuhluphekeni kwenu lamemeza mina ngalikhulula. Ngaliphendula ngiphakathi komdumo weyezi; ngalilinga emanzini aseMeribha.
Pa mavuto anu munayitana ndipo ndinakulanditsani, ndinakuyankhani kuchokera mʼmitambo ya mabingu; ndinakuyesani pa madzi a ku Meriba. (Sela)
8 Zwanini, awu bantu bami, mina ngizalixwayisa aluba lingangilalela, Oh Israyeli!
“Imvani anthu anga, ndipo ndidzakuchenjezani ngati mungathe kumvetsera, Inu Israeli!
9 Lingabi lonkulunkulu wezizweni phakathi kwenu; lingabokhothamela unkulunkulu ongaziwayo.
Musadzakhale ndi mulungu wachilendo pakati panu; musadzagwadire mulungu wina.
10 NginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, owalikhuphayo eGibhithe. Vulani kakhulu umlomo wenu ngizawugcwalisa.
Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto. Yasamani kukamwa kwanu ndipo ndidzakudyetsani.
11 Kodwa abantu bami kabangilalelanga; u-Israyeli wala ukungithobela.
“Koma anthu anga sanandimvere; Israeli sanandigonjere.
12 Ngakho ngasengibayekela ngezinhliziyo zabo zobuqholo ukuthi balandele lokho abakufunayo.
Kotero ndinawasiya ndi mitima yawo yosamverayo kuti atsate zimene ankafuna.
13 Aluba abantu bami bengangilalela, aluba u-Israyeli engalandela izindlela zami,
“Anthu anga akanangondimvera, Israeli akanatsatira njira zanga,
14 masinyane nje ngingazibhuqa izitha zabo ngiphakamisele isandla sami ezitheni zabo!
nʼkanafulumira motani kuti ndigonjetse adani awo ndi kutembenuza mkono wanga kulimbana ndi amaliwongo!
15 Labo abamzondayo uThixo bangatshotshobala phambi kwakhe, kuthi isijeziso sabo sibe ngesaphakade.
Iwo amene amadana ndi Yehova akanakhwinyata pamaso pake, ndipo chilango chawo chinakakhala mpaka kalekale.
16 Kodwa lina lingaphiwa ingqoloyi enhle kakhulu; ngilisuthise ngoluju oluphuma edwaleni.”
Koma inu mukanadyetsedwa tirigu wabwino kwambiri; ndikanakukhutitsani ndi uchi wochokera pa thanthwe.”
