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.
Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Bwana dunia yote.
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.
Mwimbieni Bwana, lisifuni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku baada ya siku.
3 Publish his glory amongst the Gentiles, his wonderful works amongst all people.
Tangazeni utukufu wake katikati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu miongoni mwa mataifa yote.
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.
Kwa kuwa Bwana ni mkuu mwenye kustahili kusifiwa kuliko wote; yeye ni wa kuogopwa kuliko miungu yote.
5 For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.
Kwa maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini Bwana aliziumba mbingu.
6 Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.
Fahari na enzi viko mbele yake; nguvu na utukufu vimo patakatifu pake.
7 Bring to the Lord, you families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.
Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za mataifa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.
8 Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.
Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; leteni sadaka na mje katika nyua zake.
9 Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.
Mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake; dunia yote na itetemeke mbele zake.
10 Say amongst 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.
Katikati ya mataifa semeni, “Bwana anatawala.” Ulimwengu ameuweka imara, hauwezi kusogezwa; atawahukumu watu kwa uadilifu.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.
Mbingu na zishangilie, nchi na ifurahi; bahari na ivume, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake;
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 na yashangilie, pamoja na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake. Kisha miti yote ya msituni itaimba 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.
itaimba mbele za Bwana kwa maana anakuja, anakuja kuihukumu dunia. Ataihukumu dunia kwa haki, na mataifa katika kweli yake.
