Psalms 99

1 A psalm for David himself. The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: 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 Sion, and high above all people.

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

3 Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:

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

4 And the king’s honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

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

5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.

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 them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:

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

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.

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

8 Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.

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

9 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.

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