Masalimo 21

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Inu Yehova, mfumu ikusangalala mu mphamvu yanu, chimwemwe chake nʼchachikuludi pa kupambana kumene mumapereka!

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah. And in thy salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!

2 Inu mwayipatsa zokhumba za mtima wake ndipo simunayimane zopempha za pa milomo yake. (Sela)

Thou have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 Inu munayilandira ndi madalitso ochuluka ndipo munayiveka chipewa chaufumu chagolide weniweni pa mutu wake.

For thou meet him with the blessings of goodness. Thou set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 Iye anakupemphani moyo, ndipo munamupatsa masiku ochuluka kwamuyaya.

He asked life from thee. Thou gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.

5 Kudzera mʼzigonjetso zimene munapereka, ulemerero wake ndi waukulu; Inu mwapereka pa iyo ulemerero ndi ufumu.

His glory is great in thy salvation. Honor and majesty thou do lay upon him.

6 Zoonadi Inu mwayipatsa madalitso amuyaya, Inu mwayipatsa chisangalalo ndi chimwemwe chimene chili pamaso panu.

For thou make him most blessed forever. Thou make him glad with joy in thy presence.

7 Pakuti mfumu imadalira Yehova; kudzera mʼchikondi chake chosatha cha Wammwambamwamba, iyo sidzagwedezeka.

For the king trusts in Jehovah. And through the loving kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 Dzanja lanu lidzayimitsa adani anu onse; dzanja lanu lamanja lidzagwira adani anu.

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.

9 Pa nthawi ya kuonekera kwanu mudzawasandutsa ngʼanjo yamoto yotentha. Mu ukali wake Yehova adzawameza, ndipo moto wake udzawatha.

Thou will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 Inu mudzawononga ana awo pa dziko lapansi, zidzukulu zawo pakati pa anthu.

Thou will destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.

11 Ngakhale iwo akukonzereni chiwembu mwa kuchenjera kwawo sadzapambana;

For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

12 pakuti mudzawapirikitsa ndipo adzaonetsa misana yawo pamene mudzawaloza ndi mivi yanu.

For thou will make them turn their back. Thou will make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

13 Mukwezeke Inu Yehova mʼmphamvu yanu, ife tidzayimba nyimbo ndi kutamanda mphamvu yanu.

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength. We will sing and praise thy power.
