Psalms 99

1 The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

Bwana anatawala, mataifa na yatetemeke; anakalia kiti cha enzi katikati ya makerubi, dunia na itikisike.

2 The Lord is great in Zion; he is high over all the nations.

Bwana ni mkuu katika Sayuni; ametukuzwa juu ya mataifa yote.

3 Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

Wanalisifu jina lako ambalo ni kuu na la kuogopwa: yeye ni mtakatifu!

4 The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

Mfalme ni mwenye nguvu na hupenda haki, wewe umethibitisha adili; katika Yakobo umefanya yaliyo haki na sawa.

5 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping at his feet; holy is he.

Mtukuzeni Bwana Mungu wetu, na mkaabudu katika mahali pa kuwekea miguu yake; yeye ni mtakatifu.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

Mose na Aroni walikuwa miongoni mwa makuhani wake, Samweli alikuwa miongoni mwa walioliitia jina lake; walimwita Bwana, naye aliwajibu.

7 His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

Alizungumza nao kutoka nguzo ya wingu; walizishika sheria zake na amri alizowapa.

8 You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

Ee Bwana, wetu, ndiwe uliyewajibu, kwa Israeli ulikuwa Mungu mwenye kusamehe, ingawa uliadhibu matendo yao mabaya.

9 Give high honour to the Lord our God, worshipping with your faces turned to his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

Mtukuzeni Bwana Mungu wetu, mwabuduni kwenye mlima wake mtakatifu, kwa maana Bwana Mungu wetu ni mtakatifu.
