Psalms 97
1 For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
Bwana anatawala, nchi na ifurahi, visiwa vyote vishangilie.
2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgement are the establishment of his throne.
Mawingu na giza nene vinamzunguka, haki na hukumu ndio msingi wa kiti chake cha enzi.
3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
Moto hutangulia mbele zake na huteketeza adui zake pande zote.
4 His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
Umeme wake wa radi humulika dunia, nchi huona na kutetemeka.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Milima huyeyuka kama nta mbele za Bwana, mbele za Bwana wa dunia yote.
6 The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
Mbingu zinatangaza haki yake, na mataifa yote huona utukufu wake.
7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.
Wote waabuduo sanamu waaibishwa, wale wajisifiao sanamu: mwabuduni yeye, enyi miungu yote!
8 Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgements, O Lord.
Sayuni husikia na kushangilia, vijiji vya Yuda vinafurahi kwa sababu ya hukumu zako, Ee Bwana.
9 For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.
Kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, ndiwe Uliye Juu Sana kuliko dunia yote; umetukuka sana juu ya miungu yote.
10 You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
Wale wanaompenda Bwana na wauchukie uovu, kwa maana yeye hulinda maisha ya waaminifu wake na kuwaokoa kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.
11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Nuru huangaza wenye haki na furaha kwa watu wanyofu wa moyo.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
Furahini katika Bwana, ninyi mlio wenye haki, lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
