Tsiku limeneli Davide anayamba nʼkusankha Asafu ndi anzake kuti ndiwo apereke nyimbo iyi ya matamando kwa Yehova:
8 Vongai Jehovha, danai kuzita rake; zivisai pakati pendudzi dzose zvaakaita.
Yamikani Yehova, itanani dzina lake; lalikani za ntchito zake pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
9 Muimbirei, muimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza; taurai zvose zvamabasa ake anoshamisa.
Imbirani Iye, muyimbireni nyimbo zamatamando; nenani za ntchito zake zonse zodabwitsa.
10 Zvirumbidzei muzita rake dzvene; mwoyo yaavo vanotsvaka Jehovha ngaifare.
Nyadirani dzina lake loyera; ikondwere mitima ya iwo akufunafuna Yehova.
11 Tarisai kuna Jehovha nokusimba rake; tsvakai chiso chake nguva dzose.
Dalirani Yehova ndi mphamvu zake; funafunani nkhope yake nthawi zonse.
12 Rangarirai zvishamiso zvaakaita, zviratidzo zvake uye nemitongo yaakareva.
Kumbukirani ntchito zodabwitsa wazichita, zozizwitsa zake, ndi kuweruza kwa mʼkamwa mwake,
13 Haiwa, imi zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri muranda wake, haiwa imi vanakomana vaJakobho vasanangurwa vake.
inu zidzukulu za Israeli mtumiki wake, inu ana a Yakobo, osankhidwa ake.
14 Ndiye Jehovha Mwari wedu; mitongo yake iri munyika yose.
Iye ndiye Yehova Mulungu wathu; chiweruzo chake chili pa dziko lonse lapansi.
15 Anorangarira sungano yake nokusingaperi, shoko raakarayira, kwechiuru chezvizvarwa.
Iye amakumbukira pangano lake nthawi zonse, mawu amene Iye analamula, kwa mibado miyandamiyanda,
16 Sungano yaakaita naAbhurahama, mhiko yaakapika kuna Isaka.
pangano limene anachita ndi Abrahamu, lonjezo limene analumbira kwa Isake.
17 Akasimbisa kuna Jakobho somutemo, kuna Israeri sesungano isingaperi, achiti:
Iye analitsimikiza kwa Yakobo monga lamulo, kwa Israeli monga pangano lamuyaya.
18 “Kwauri ndichapa nyika yeKenani, sechikamu chenhaka yako.”
“Kwa iwe, ine ndidzapereka dziko la Kanaani monga cholowa chimene udzachilandira.”
19 Pavakanga vari vashoma, vari vashoma kwazvo, vari vatorwa mairi,
Ali anthu owerengeka, ochepa ndithu, komanso alendo mʼdzikomo,
20 vakadzungaira kubva kuno rumwe rudzi kusvika kuno rumwe, kubva kuno humwe umambo kusvika kuno humwe.
iwo anayendayenda kuchoka ku mtundu wina kupita ku mtundu wina, ku ufumu wina kupita ku ufumu wina.
21 Haana kutendera munhu kuti avadzvinyirire; nokuda kwavo akatuka madzimambo.
Iye sanalole munthu aliyense kuti awapondereze; chifukwa cha iwo, Iye anadzudzula mafumu:
22 “Musabata vazodziwa vangu; musaitira vaprofita vangu zvakaipa.”
“Musakhudze odzozedwa anga; musawachitire choyipa aneneri anga.”
23 Imbirai Jehovha, pasi pose; paridzai ruponeso rwake zuva nezuva.
Imbirani Yehova, dziko lonse lapansi; lalikani za chipulumutso chake tsiku ndi tsiku.
24 Zivisai kubwinya kwake pakati pendudzi, mabasa ake anoshamisa pakati pavanhu vose.
Lengezani za ulemerero wake kwa mitundu yonse, ntchito zake zonse zodabwitsa kwa anthu onse.
25 Nokuti Jehovha mukuru uye anofanira kwazvo kurumbidzwa; anofanira kutyiwa pamusoro pavamwari vose.
Pakuti Yehova ndi wamkulu ndi woyenera kwambiri kumutamanda; Iyeyo ayenera kuopedwa kuposa milungu yonse.
26 Nokuti vamwari vose vendudzi zvifananidzo, asi Jehovha akasika matenga.
Pakuti milungu yonse ya anthu a mitundu ina ndi mafano wopanda pake, koma Yehova analenga kumwamba.
27 Kubwinya nokukudzwa zviri pamberi pake; simba nomufaro zviri munzvimbo yougaro hwake.
Ulemerero ndi ufumu zili pamaso pake; mphamvu ndi chimwemwe zili pa malo pokhala Iye.
28 Ipai kuna Jehovha, imi mhuri dzendudzi, ipai Jehovha kukudzwa nesimba,
Perekani kwa Yehova, Inu mabanja a anthu a mitundu ina, perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero ndi mphamvu,
29 ipai Jehovha kukudzwa kunofanira zita rake. Uyai nezvipiriso uye muuye pamberi pake; namatai Jehovha mukubwinya kwoutsvene hwake.
perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero woyenera dzina lake. Bweretsani chopereka ndipo mufike pamaso pake; pembedzani Yehova mu ulemerero wachiyero chake.
30 Dederai pamberi pake, imi nyika yose! Nyika yakasimbiswa kwazvo; haingazungunuswi.
Njenjemerani pamaso pake, dziko lonse lapansi! Dziko linakhazikika kolimba; silingasunthidwe.
31 Matenga ngaafare, nyika ngaifare; ngavati pakati pendudzi, “Jehovha anotonga!”
Zakumwamba zisangalale, dziko lapansi likondwere; anene anthu a mitundu ina, “Yehova ndi mfumu!”
32 Gungwa ngaritinhire nezvose zviri mariri; minda ngaifarisise nezvose zviri mairi.
Nyanja ikokome, ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo; minda ikondwere, ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo!
33 Ipapo miti yesango ichaimba, ichaimba nomufaro pamberi paJehovha, nokuti anouya kuzotonga nyika.
Ndipo mitengo ya mʼnkhalango idzayimba, idzayimba chifukwa cha chimwemwe pamaso pa Yehova, pakuti akubwera kudzaweruza dziko lapansi.
34 Vongai Jehovha nokuti akanaka; rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.
Yamikani Yehova, pakuti Iye ndi wabwino; chikondi chake chikhala mpaka muyaya.
35 Danidzirai muchiti, “Tiponesei, imi Mwari Muponesi wedu; tiunganidzei uye mutirwire pandudzi, kuti tigovonga zita renyu dzvene kuti tifarisise mukukurumbidzai.”
Fuwulani kuti, “Tipulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wa chipulumutso chathu, mutisonkhanitse ndipo mutipulumutse kwa anthu a mitundu ina, kuti tiyamike dzina lanu loyera, kuti tikutamandeni.”
36 Rumbidzai Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi. Ipapo vanhu vose vakati, “Ameni” uye vakarumbidza Jehovha.
Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, kuyambira muyaya mpaka muyaya. Ndipo anthu onse anati, “Ameni” ndipo “Tikutamandani Yehova.”
37 Dhavhidhi akasiya Asafi navamwe vake pamberi peareka yesungano yaJehovha kuti ashumirepo nguva dzose maererano nezvaidiwa zuva rimwe nerimwe.
Ndipo Davide anasiya Asafu pamodzi ndi anzake kumene kunali Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova kuti azitumikira kumeneko nthawi zonse, monga mwa zoyenera kuchita pa tsiku lililonse.
38 Akasiya Obhedhi-Edhomu navamwe vake makumi matanhatu navasere kuti vashumire navo. Obhedhi-Edhomu mwanakomana waJedhutuni naHosa vaiva vatariri vamasuo.
Iye anasiyanso Obedi-Edomu pamodzi ndi anzake 68 kuti azitumikira nawo pamodzi. Obedi-Edomu mwana wa Yedutuni ndi Hosa anali alonda a pa chipata.
39 Dhavhidhi akasiya Zadhoki muprista navamwe vaprista pamberi petabhenakeri yaJehovha panzvimbo yakakwirira muGibheoni
Davide anasiya wansembe Zadoki ndi ansembe anzake ku chihema cha Yehova ku malo achipembedzo ku Gibiyoni
40 kuti vape zvipiriso zvinopiswa, kuna Jehovha paaritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa, nguva dzose, mangwanani namanheru maererano nezvose zvakanga zvakanyorwa muMurayiro waJehovha waakanga apa Israeri.
kuti azipereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova pa guwa lansembe nthawi zonse mmawa ndi madzulo, potsata zonse zimene zinalembedwa mʼbuku la malamulo a Yehova, amene anawapereka kwa Aisraeli.
41 Pakati pavo paiva naHemani naJedhutuni navamwe vose vaiva vakasarudzwa namazita kuti vavonge Jehovha, “Nokuti rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.”
Anthuwo anali pamodzi ndi Hemani ndi Yedutuni ndi onse amene anawasankha mowatchula dzina kuti apereke mayamiko kwa Yehova, “pakuti chikondi chake ndi chosatha.”
42 Hemani naJedhutuni vaiva nebasa rokuridza hwamanda namakandira uye nokuridza zvimwe zviridzwa parwiyo rutsvene. Vanakomana vaJedhutuni vakaitwa vatariri vamasuo.
Hemani ndi Yedutuni anali oyangʼanira malipenga ndi ziwaya ndiponso zipangizo zina zoyimbira nyimbo zachipembedzo. Ana a Yedutuni anawayika kuti aziyangʼanira pa chipata.
43 Ipapo vanhu vose vakabvapo, mumwe nomumwe akaenda kumba kwake, uye Dhavhidhi akadzokera kumba kwake kundoropafadza mhuri yake.
Kenaka anthu onse anachoka, aliyense kupita kwawo. Ndipo Davide anabwerera ku nyumba kwake kukadalitsa banja lake.
