< Psalms 99 >
1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!
Yahwe anatawala; mataifa na yatetemeke. Ameketi juu ya makerubi; nchi inatetemeka.
2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.
Yahwe ni mkuu katika Sayuni; naye ametukuka juu ya mataifa yote.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!
Nao walisifu jina lako kuu na lenye kutisha; yeye ni mtakatifu.
4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Mfalme ana nguvu, naye hupenda haki. Wewe umeimarisha haki; umetenda haki na hukumu katika Yakobo.
5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!
Msifuni Yahwe Mungu wetu na sujuduni miguuni pake. Yeye ni mtakatifu.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.
Musa na Haruni walikuwa miongoni mwa makuhani wake, na Samweli alikuwa miongoni mwa wale walio muomba Yeye. Walimuomba Yahwe, naye akawajibu.
7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.
Alizungumza nao toka nguzo ya wingu. Walizishika amri zake takatifu na sheria ambazo aliwapatia.
8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.
Wewe uliwajibu, Yahwe Mungu wetu. Ulikuwa kwao Mungu mwenye kusamehe, lakini uliye adhibu matendo yao ya dhambi.
9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
Msifuni Yahwe Mungu wetu, na mwabuduni kwenye mlima wake mtakatifu, maana Yahwe Mungu wetu ni Mtakatifu.
