Bwenzi Mutamvera
Kwa mtsogoleri wa oimba; pa gititi. Salmo la Asafu.
Nyimbo za chikondwerero — lipenga, maseche, mwezi watsopano — zikudukizidwa ndi mawu a Atate wathu mwini. Akukumbukira kuchotsa dengu pa mapewa awo ndipo akuti, yasamitsa pakamwa pako ndipo ndidzapadzaza. Kenako ululu: akadakhala anthu anga akumvera.
81 1Imbani mokondwa kwa Atate wathu, mphamvu zathu; fuwulani mokweza kwa Mulungu wa Yakobo! 2Yambani nyimbo, imbani tambulini, zeze wokoma ndi pangwe. 3Lizani lipenga pa mwezi watsopano, pa mwezi wodzaza, pa tsiku la phwando lathu. 4Pakuti ndilo lamulo kwa Isiraeli, chilamulo cha Mulungu wa Yakobo.
5Iye analikhazikitsa kukhala umboni kwa Yosefe pamene anatuluka kukalimbana ndi dziko la Igupto. Ndinamva chinenero chimene sindinachidziwe:
6“Ndinachotsa katundu wolemera pa phewa lake; manja ake anamasulidwa ku dengu.
7“M'mavuto anu munaitana, ndipo ndinakupulumutsani; ndinakuyankhani kuchokera kobisika kwa bingu; ndinakuyesani pa madzi a Meriba. 8Imvani, anthu anga, ndipo ndidzakuchenjezani inu—Isiraeli, bwenzi mutandimvera! 9Pasakhale mulungu wachilendo pakati panu; musagwadire mulungu wina aliyense.
10“Ine ndine Atate wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani m'dziko la Igupto. Tsekulani kamwa kanu kwambiri, ndipo ndidzakadzaza. 11Koma anthu anga sanamvera mau anga; Isiraeli sanandigonjere. 12Choncho ndinawapereka ku kuuma mitima yawo, kuti atsatire malingaliro awo. 13Bwenzi anthu anga anandimvera, bwenzi Isiraeli anayenda m'njira zanga! 14Posachedwa ndikanagonjetsa adani awo ndi kutembenuza dzanja langa kwa odana nawo! 15Iwo amene amadana ndi Atate wathu akanawerama pamaso pake, ndipo chiwonongeko chawo chikanakhala chamuyaya. 16Koma Iye akanawadyetsa tirigu wabwino koposa; ndi uchi wochokera m'thanthwe ndikanakukhutitsani inu.”
