Psalms 96
1 When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.
Mwimbieni Yahwe, tukuzeni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
3 Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.
Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.
Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.
5 For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.
Maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, bali ni Yahwe aliye zifanya mbingu.
6 Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.
Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake. Nguvu na uzuri zimo katika patakatifu pake.
7 Bring to the Lord, ye families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.
Mpeni Yahwe sifa, enyi ukoo wa watu, mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.
8 Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.
Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.
9 Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.
Mpigieni magoti Yahwe mkiwa mmevaa mavazi ambayo yanaheshimu utakatifu wake. Nchi yote tetemekeni mbele zake.
10 Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.
Semeni kati ya mataifa, Yahwe anatawala.” Ulimwengu pia umeimarishwa; hauwezi kutikiswa. Yeye huwahukumu watu kwa haki.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.
Mbingu na zifurahi, na nchi ishangilie; bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo vipige kelele kwa shangwe.
12 The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:
Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha
13 for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
mbele za Yahwe, maana yeye anakuja. Anakuja kuihukumu nchi. Naye atauhukumu ulumwengu kwa haki na mataifa kwa uaminifu wake.
