Masalimo
Sumu. Salimo la Davide.
108 Mtima wane ngwakukhora, A Chiuta,
Na umoyo* wane wose, nimbenge na kulizga vyakwimbira.+
2 Wuka, iwe chakwimbira cha vingwe, na iwe wuwo, bango.+
Niwuskenge matandakucha.
3 Nimulumbaninge mukati mu ŵanthu, A Yehova,
Nimbenge malumbo kwa imwe pakati pa mitundu.
5 Mukwezgeke pachanya kujumpha mitambo, A Chiuta.
Uchindami winu uŵe pachanya pa charu chose chapasi.+
6 Mwakuti ŵakutemweka ŵinu ŵathaskike,
Tiponoskani na woko linu lamalyero na kunizgora.+
7 Chiuta wayowoya mu utuŵa wake kuti:
8 Giliyadi+ ngwane, Manase nayo ngwane,
Ndipo Efurayimu ntchisoti* cha ku mutu wane.+
Yuda ni ndodo yane ya mulongozgi.+
9 Mowabu ntchimphani chane chakugezeramo.+
Niponyenge chilyato* chane pa Edomu.+
Nichemerezgenge mwauchatonda pa Filisitiya.”+
10 Kasi ni njani wanitolerenge ku msumba wakukhora?
Ni njani wanidangilirenge m’paka ku Edomu?+
11 Asi ndimwe, A Chiuta, mwaŵeneimwe mwatikana,
Chiuta withu, uyo wakulutaso nase yayi ku nkhondo?+
