Whatever Jehovah pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps,

who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries,
8 Anakantha ana oyamba kubadwa a Igupto, ana oyamba kubadwa a anthu ndi nyama.
who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast,
9 Iye anatumiza zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa pakati pako, iwe Igupto, kutsutsana ndi Farao pamodzi ndi atumiki ake onse.
who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants,
10 Iye anakantha mitundu yambiri ya anthu ndi kupha mafumu amphamvu:
who smote many nations, and killed mighty kings-
11 Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, Ogi mfumu ya Basani, ndi maufumu onse a ku Kanaani;
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan-
12 ndipo anapereka dziko lawo ngati cholowa, cholowa cha anthu ake Aisraeli.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.
13 Dzina lanu, Inu Yehova, ndi losatha mpaka muyaya, mbiri yanu, Inu Yehova, idziwika mibado yonse.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is forever, thy memorial, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 Pakuti Yehova adzaonetsa kuti anthu ake ngosalakwa, ndipo adzachitira chifundo atumiki ake.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will relent concerning his servants.
15 Mafano a mitundu ya anthu ndi siliva ndi golide, opangidwa ndi manja a anthu.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 Pakamwa ali napo koma sayankhula maso ali nawo, koma sapenya;
They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
17 makutu ali nawo, koma sakumva ndipo mʼkamwa mwawo mulibe mpweya uliwonse.
They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Iwo amene amapanga mafanowo adzakhala ngati mafanowo, chimodzimodzinso iwo amene amadalira mafanowo.
Those who make them shall be like them, yea, everyone who trusts in them.
