Psalms 48

1 A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

Nyimbo. Salimo la ana a Kora. Wamkulu ndi Yehova, ndi woyenera kwambiri matamando mu mzinda wa Mulungu wathu, phiri lake loyera.

2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.

Lokongola mu utali mwake, chimwemwe cha dziko lonse lapansi. Malo aatali kwambiri a Zafoni ndiye Phiri la Ziyoni, mzinda wa Mfumu yayikulu.

3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

Mulungu ali mu malinga ake; Iye wadzionetsa yekha kuti ndiye malinga akewo.

4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

Pamene mafumu anasonkhana pamodzi, pamene anayendera pamodzi kudzalimbana nafe,

5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.

iwo anaona mzindawo ndipo anadabwa kwambiri; anathawa ndi mantha aakulu.

6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

Pomwepo anagwidwa nako kunjenjemera, ululu wonga wa mkazi woyembekezera pa nthawi yochira.

7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

Inu munawawononga monga sitima zapamadzi za ku Tarisisi zitawonongeka ndi mphepo ya kummawa.

8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)

Monga momwe tinamvera, kotero ife tinaona mu mzinda wa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, mu mzinda wa Mulungu wathu. Mulungu adzawuteteza kwamuyaya.

9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.

Mʼkati mwa Nyumba yanu Mulungu, ife timalingaliramo zachikondi chanu chosasinthika.

10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Monga dzina lanu, Inu Mulungu, matamando anu amafika ku malekezero a dziko lapansi dzanja lanu lamanja ladzaza ndi chilungamo.

11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

Phiri la Ziyoni likukondwera, midzi ya Yuda ndi yosangalala chifukwa cha maweruzo anu.

12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.

Yendayendani mu Ziyoni, uzungulireni mzindawo, werengani nsanja zake.

13 Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

Yangʼanitsitsani bwino mipanda yake, penyetsetsani malinga ake, kuti mudzafotokoze za izo ku mʼbado wotsatira.

14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

Pakuti Mulungu uyu ndi Mulungu wathu ku nthawi zosatha; Iye adzakhala mtsogoleri wathu mpaka ku mapeto.
