Masalimo

52 N’chifukwa chiyani ukudzitukumula chifukwa cha zinthu zoipa, wamphamvu iwe?+

Kukoma mtima kosatha kwa Mulungu n’kokhalitsa.+

 2 Lilime lako limakonza chiwembu, ndipo ndi lakuthwa ngati lezala,+

Limachita zachinyengo.+

 3 Umakonda kwambiri zinthu zoipa kuposa zabwino,+

Umakonda kwambiri kulankhula chinyengo kuposa kulankhula chilungamo.+ [Seʹlah.]

 4 Umakonda mawu onse owononga,+

Lilime lachinyengo iwe.+

 5 Mulungu adzakupasula kosatha.+

Adzakugwetsa ndi kukukokera kunja kwa hema wako,+

Ndipo adzakuzula ndithu m’dziko la anthu amoyo.+ [Seʹlah.]

 6 Olungama adzaona zimenezi ndi kuchita mantha,+

Ndipo adzamuseka.+

 7 Munthu wamphamvu wotere sadalira Mulungu monga malo ake achitetezo,+

Koma amadalira kuchuluka kwa chuma chake,+

Ndipo chitetezo chake amachipeza m’mavuto amene iyeyo amawachititsa.+

 8 Koma ine ndidzakhala ngati mtengo waukulu wa maolivi+ wa masamba obiriwira m’nyumba ya Mulungu.

Ndidzakhulupirira kukoma mtima kosatha kwa Mulungu mpaka kalekale, ndithu mpaka muyaya.+

 9 Ndidzakutamandani mpaka kalekale, chifukwa cha zimene mwachita.+

Ndipo ndidzayembekezera dzina lanu pamaso pa okhulupirika anu, chifukwa ndi labwino.+
