Psalms 96
1 Sing to the Lord a new song! All the earth, sing to the Lord!
Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Bwana dunia yote.
2 Sing to the Lord, and of his wonderful reputation! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
Mwimbieni Bwana, lisifuni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku baada ya siku.
3 Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.
Tangazeni utukufu wake katikati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu miongoni mwa mataifa yote.
4 For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe 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 other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
Kwa maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini Bwana aliziumba mbingu.
6 Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
Fahari na enzi viko mbele yake; nguvu na utukufu vimo patakatifu pake.
7 Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.
Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za mataifa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.
8 Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.
Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; leteni sadaka na mje katika nyua zake.
9 Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.
Mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake; dunia yote na itetemeke mbele zake.
10 Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.
Katikati ya mataifa semeni, “Bwana anatawala.” Ulimwengu ameuweka imara, hauwezi kusogezwa; atawahukumu watu kwa uadilifu.
11 Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!
Mbingu na zishangilie, nchi na ifurahi; bahari na ivume, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake;
12 Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.
mashamba na yashangilie, pamoja na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake. Kisha miti yote ya msituni itaimba kwa furaha;
13 In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations with his truth.
itaimba mbele za Bwana kwa maana anakuja, anakuja kuihukumu dunia. Ataihukumu dunia kwa haki, na mataifa katika kweli yake.
