Psalms 99

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord reigns; —let the people rage; [it is he] that sits upon the cherubs, let the earth be moved.

Yahwe anatawala; mataifa na yatetemeke. Ameketi juu ya makerubi; nchi inatetemeka.

2 The Lord is great in Sion, and is high over all the people.

Yahwe ni mkuu katika Sayuni; naye ametukuka juu ya mataifa yote.

3 Let them give thanks to thy great name; for it is terrible and holy.

Nao walisifu jina lako kuu na lenye kutisha; yeye ni mtakatifu.

4 And the king's honour loves judgment; thou hast prepared equity, thou hast wrought judgment and justice in Jacob.

Mfalme ana nguvu, naye hupenda haki. Wewe umeimarisha haki; umetenda haki na hukumu katika Yakobo.

5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship [at] his footstool; for he is holy.

Msifuni Yahwe Mungu wetu na sujuduni miguuni pake. Yeye ni mtakatifu.

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he heard them.

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 in a pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies, and the ordinances which he gave them.

Alizungumza nao toka nguzo ya wingu. Walizishika amri zake takatifu na sheria ambazo aliwapatia.

8 O Lord our God, thou heardest them; O God, thou becamest propitious to them, though thou didst take vengeance on all their devices.

Wewe uliwajibu, Yahwe Mungu wetu. Ulikuwa kwao Mungu mwenye kusamehe, lakini uliye adhibu matendo yao ya dhambi.

9 Exalt ye 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.
