Psalms 76
1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.
Mungu amefanya mwenyewe kujulikana katika Yuda; jina lake ni kuu katika Israeli.
2 He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.
Hema yake iko salemu; makao yake yako yako Sayuni.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
Huko ndiko alivunja mishale ya upinde, ngao, upanga, na silaha zingine za vita. (Selah)
4 You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
Wewe unang'aa sana na huufunua utukufu wako, ushukapo kutoka milimani, ambako uliwauwa mateka.
5 Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.
Wenye moyo shujaa walitekwa nyara; walilala mauti. Mashujaa wote walikuwa wanyonge.
6 At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.
Kwa kukemea kwako, ewe Mungu wa Yakobo, wote gari na farasi walilala mauti.
7 You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?
Wewe, ndiyo wewe, ni wa kuogopwa; ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako wakati ukiwa na hasira?
8 From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,
Kutoka mbinguni wewe uliifanya hukumu yako isikike; nchi iliogopa na ikaa kimya
9 when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. (Selah)
wakati wewe, Mungu, ulipoinuka kutekeleza hukumu na kuwaokoa wote wa nchi walio onewa. (Selah)
10 Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.
Hakika hukumu ya hasira yako dhidi ya binadamu itakuletea wewe sifa; wewe hujifunga mwenyewe hasira yako iliyo baki.
11 Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.
Wekeni nadhiri kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu na kuzihifadhi. Nao wote wamzungukao yeye mleteeni zawadi yeye ambaye ni wa kuogopwa.
12 For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
Yeye huzikata roho za wakuu; huogopwa na wafalme wa nchi.
