Psalm 135
1Praise the Lord.135:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verses 3 and 21
Praise the name of the Lord;
praise him, you servants of the Lord,
2you who minister in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
4For the Lord has chosen Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.
5I know that the Lord is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6The Lord does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.
7He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
the firstborn of people and animals.
9He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10He struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings—
11Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan—
12and he gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to his people Israel.
13Your name, Lord, endures forever,
your renown, Lord, through all generations.
14For the Lord will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made by human hands.
16They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
17They have ears, but cannot hear,
nor is there breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
19All you Israelites, praise the Lord;
house of Aaron, praise the Lord;
20house of Levi, praise the Lord;
you who fear him, praise the Lord.
21Praise be to the Lord from Zion,
to him who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord.
Salimo 135
1Tamandani Yehova.
Tamandani dzina la Yehova;
mutamandeni, inu atumiki a Yehova,
2amene mumatumikira mʼnyumba ya Yehova,
mʼmabwalo a nyumba ya Mulungu wathu.
3Tamandani Yehova, pakuti Yehova ndi wabwino;
imbani nyimbo zotamanda dzina lake, pakuti nʼkokoma kutero,
4Pakuti Yehova wasankha Yakobo kuti akhale wake,
Israeli kuti akhale chuma chake chapamtima.
5Ndikudziwa kuti Yehova ndi wamkulu,
kuti Ambuye athu ndi wamkulu kuposa milungu yonse.
6Yehova amachita chilichonse chimene chimamukomera,
kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi,
ku nyanja zazikulu ndi ku malo ake onse akuya.
7Iye amatulutsa mitambo kuchokera ku malekezero a dziko lapansi,
amatumiza zingʼaningʼani pamodzi ndi mvula
ndipo amatulutsa mphepo ku malo ake osungiramo.
8Anakantha ana oyamba kubadwa a Igupto,
ana oyamba kubadwa a anthu ndi nyama.
9Iye anatumiza zizindikiro zozizwitsa ndi zodabwitsa pakati pako, iwe Igupto,
kutsutsana ndi Farao pamodzi ndi atumiki ake onse.
10Iye anakantha mitundu yambiri ya anthu
ndi kupha mafumu amphamvu:
11Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori,
Ogi mfumu ya Basani,
ndi maufumu onse a ku Kanaani;
12ndipo anapereka dziko lawo ngati cholowa,
cholowa cha anthu ake Aisraeli.
13Dzina lanu, Inu Yehova, ndi losatha mpaka muyaya,
mbiri yanu, Inu Yehova, idziwika mibado yonse.
14Pakuti Yehova adzaonetsa kuti anthu ake ngosalakwa,
ndipo adzachitira chifundo atumiki ake.
15Mafano a mitundu ya anthu ndi siliva ndi golide,
opangidwa ndi manja a anthu.
16Pakamwa ali napo koma sayankhula
maso ali nawo, koma sapenya;
17makutu ali nawo, koma sakumva
ndipo mʼkamwa mwawo mulibe mpweya uliwonse.
18Iwo amene amapanga mafanowo adzakhala ngati mafanowo,
chimodzimodzinso iwo amene amadalira mafanowo.
19Inu nyumba ya Israeli, tamandani Yehova;
inu nyumba ya Aaroni, tamandani Yehova;
20Inu nyumba ya Levi, tamandani Yehova;
Inu amene mumaopa Iye, tamandani Yehova.
21Wodalitsika ndi Yehova kuchokera mʼZiyoni,
amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu.
Tamandani Yehova.
