Masalimo 84
1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Gititi. Salimo la ana a Kora. Malo anu okhalamo ndi okomadi, Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse!
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!
2 Moyo wanga ukulakalaka, mpaka kukomoka, kufuna mabwalo a Yehova; Mtima wanga ndi thupi langa zikufuwulira Mulungu wamoyo.
My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah. My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.
3 Ngakhale timba wapeza nyumba yokhalamo, ndiponso namzeze wadzipezera yekha chisa, kumene amagonekako ana ake pafupi ndi guwa lanu la nsembe, Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga.
Yea, the sparrow has found her a house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.
4 Odala amene amakhala mʼNyumba yanu; nthawi zonse amakutamandani. (Sela)
Blessed are those who dwell in thy house. They will still be praising thee. (Selah)
5 Odala amene mphamvu yawo ili mwa Inu, mitima yawo ikufunitsitsa kuyenda mʼmisewu yopita ku Ziyoni.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 Pamene akudutsa chigwa cha Baka, amachisandutsa malo a akasupe; mvula ya chizimalupsa imadzazanso mayiwe ake.
Passing through the valley of weeping they make it a place of springs. Yea, the early rain covers it with blessings.
7 Iwo amanka nakulirakulira mphamvu mpaka aliyense ataonekera pamaso pa Mulungu mu Ziyoni.
They go from strength to strength; each one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 Imvani pemphero langa, Inu Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse; mvereni Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo. (Sela)
O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer. Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Yangʼanani chishango chathu, Inu Mulungu; yangʼanani mokoma mtima pa wodzozedwa wanu.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 Nʼkwabwino kukhala mʼmabwalo anu tsiku limodzi kuposa kukhala kwina kwake kwa zaka 1,000; Ine ndingakonde kukhala mlonda wa pa khomo la Nyumba ya Mulungu wanga kuposa kukhala mʼmatenti a anthu oyipa.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Pakuti Yehova Mulungu ndi dzuwa ndi chishango; Yehova amapereka chisomo ndi ulemu; Iye sawamana zinthu zabwino iwo amene amayenda mwangwiro.
For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield. Jehovah will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.
12 Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, wodala ndi munthu amene amakhulupirira Inu.
O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee.
