Psalms 68
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of David. God will arise, and his enemies shalbe scattered: they also that hate him, shall flee before him.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Wimbo. Mungu na ainuke, watesi wake watawanyike, adui zake na wakimbie mbele zake.
2 As the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou driue them away: and as waxe melteth before the fire, so shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Kama vile moshi upeperushwavyo na upepo, vivyo hivyo uwapeperushe mbali, kama vile nta iyeyukavyo kwenye moto, vivyo hivyo waovu na waangamie mbele za Mungu.
3 But the righteous shalbe glad, and reioyce before God: yea, they shall leape for ioye.
Bali wenye haki na wafurahi, washangilie mbele za Mungu, wafurahi na kushangilia.
4 Sing vnto God, and sing prayses vnto his name: exalt him that rideth vpon the heauens, in his Name Iah, and reioyce before him.
Mwimbieni Mungu, liimbieni sifa jina lake, mtukuzeni yeye aendeshwaye juu ya mawingu: jina lake ni Bwana, furahini mbele zake.
5 He is a Father of the fatherlesse, and a Iudge of the widowes, euen God in his holy habitation.
Baba wa yatima, mtetezi wa wajane, ni Mungu katika makao yake matakatifu.
6 God maketh the solitarie to dwell in families, and deliuereth them that were prisoners in stocks: but the rebellious shall dwell in a dry land.
Mungu huwaweka wapweke katika jamaa, huwaongoza wafungwa wakiimba, bali waasi huishi katika nchi kame.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people: when thou wentest through the wildernesse, (Selah)
Ee Mungu, ulipowatangulia watu wako, ulipopita nyikani,
8 The earth shooke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of this God: euen Sinai was moued at the presence of God, euen the God of Israel.
dunia ilitikisika, mbingu zikanyesha mvua, mbele za Mungu, Yule wa Sinai, mbele za Mungu, Mungu wa Israeli.
9 Thou, O God, sendest a gracious raine vpon thine inheritance, and thou didest refresh it when it was wearie.
Ee Mungu, ulinyesha mvua nyingi na kuiburudisha ardhi iliyokuwa imechoka.
10 Thy Congregation dwelled therein: for thou, O God, hast of thy goodnesse prepared it for the poore.
Ee Mungu, watu wako waliishi huko, nawe kwa wingi wa utajiri wako uliwapa maskini mahitaji yao.
11 The Lord gaue matter to the women to tell of the great armie.
Bwana alitangaza neno, waliolitangaza neno hilo walikuwa kundi kubwa:
12 Kings of the armies did flee: they did flee, and she that remained in the house, deuided the spoyle.
“Wafalme na majeshi walikimbia upesi, watu waliobaki kambini waligawana nyara.
13 Though ye haue lien among pots, yet shall ye be as the winges of a doue that is couered with siluer, and whose fethers are like yelowe golde.
Hata ulalapo katikati ya mioto ya kambini, mabawa ya njiwa wangu yamefunikwa kwa fedha, manyoya yake kwa dhahabu ingʼaayo.”
14 When the Almightie scattered Kings in it, it was white as the snowe in Zalmon.
Wakati Mwenyezi alipowatawanya wafalme katika nchi, ilikuwa kama theluji iliyoanguka juu ya Salmoni.
15 The mountaine of God is like the mountaine of Bashan: it is an high Mountaine, as mount Bashan.
Milima ya Bashani ni milima iliyotukuka, milima ya Bashani ina vilele vilivyochongoka.
16 Why leape ye, ye high mountaines? as for this Mountaine, God deliteth to dwell in it: yea, the Lord will dwell in it for euer.
Enyi milima yenye vilele vilivyochongoka, kwa nini mnakazia macho kwa wivu, katika mlima Mungu anaochagua kutawala, ambako Bwana mwenyewe ataishi milele?
17 The charets of God are twentie thousande thousand Angels, and the Lord is among them, as in the Sanctuarie of Sinai.
Magari ya Mungu ni makumi ya maelfu, na maelfu ya maelfu; Bwana amekuja kutoka Sinai hadi katika patakatifu pake.
18 Thou art gone vp on high: thou hast led captiuitie captiue, and receiued giftes for men: yea, euen the rebellious hast thou led, that the Lord God might dwell there.
Ulipopanda juu, uliteka mateka, ukapokea vipawa kutoka kwa wanadamu, hata kutoka kwa wale walioasi, ili wewe, Ee Bwana Mungu, upate kuishi huko.
19 Praysed be the Lord, euen the God of our saluation, which ladeth vs dayly with benefites. (Selah)
Sifa apewe Bwana, Mungu Mwokozi wetu, ambaye siku kwa siku hutuchukulia mizigo yetu.
20 This is our God, euen the God that saueth vs: and to the Lord God belong the issues of death.
Mungu wetu ni Mungu aokoaye, Bwana Mwenyezi hutuokoa na kifo.
21 Surely God will wound the head of his enemies, and the hearie pate of him that walketh in his sinnes.
Hakika Mungu ataponda vichwa vya adui zake, vichwa vya hao waendao katika njia za dhambi.
22 The Lord hath sayde, I will bring my people againe from Bashan: I will bring them againe from the depths of the Sea:
Bwana alisema, “Nitawarudisha kutoka Bashani; nitawarudisha kutoka vilindi vya bahari,
23 That thy foote may bee dipped in blood, and the tongue of thy dogges in the blood of the enemies, euen in it.
ili uweze kuchovya miguu yako katika damu ya adui zako, huku ndimi za mbwa wako zikiwa na fungu lake.”
24 They haue seene, O God, thy goings, the goings of my God, and my King, which art in the Sanctuarie.
Ee Mungu, maandamano yako yameonekana, maandamano ya Mungu wangu, Mfalme wangu, yakielekea patakatifu pake.
25 The singers went before, the players of instruments after: in the middes were the maides playing with timbrels.
Mbele wako waimbaji, baada yao wapiga vinanda, pamoja nao wako wanawali wakipiga matari.
26 Praise yee God in the assemblies, and the Lord, ye that are of the fountaine of Israel.
Msifuni Mungu katika kusanyiko kubwa, msifuni Bwana katika kusanyiko la Israeli.
27 There was litle Beniamin with their ruler, and the princes of Iudah with their assemblie, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
Liko kabila dogo la Benyamini likiwaongoza, wakifuatwa na kundi kubwa la watawala wa Yuda, hatimaye watawala wa Zabuloni na Naftali.
28 Thy God hath appointed thy strength: stablish, O God, that, which thou hast wrought in vs,
Ee Mungu, amuru uwezo wako, Ee Mungu tuonyeshe nguvu zako, kama ulivyofanya hapo awali.
29 Out of thy Temple vpon Ierusalem: and Kings shall bring presents vnto thee.
Kwa sababu ya Hekalu lako Yerusalemu wafalme watakuletea zawadi.
30 Destroy the company of the spearemen, and multitude of the mightie bulles with the calues of the people, that tread vnder feete pieces of siluer: scatter the people that delite in warre.
Mkemee mnyama aliyeko kwenye manyasi, kundi la mafahali katikati ya ndama za mataifa. Na walete minara ya madini ya fedha wakinyenyekea. Tawanya mataifa yapendayo vita.
31 Then shall the princes come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall hast to stretche her hands vnto God.
Wajumbe watakuja kutoka Misri, Kushi atajisalimisha kwa Mungu.
32 Sing vnto God, O yee kingdomes of the earth: sing praise vnto the Lord, (Selah)
Mwimbieni Mungu, enyi falme za dunia, mwimbieni Bwana sifa,
33 To him that rideth vpon ye most high heauens, which were from the beginning: beholde, he will send out by his voice a mightie sound.
mwimbieni sifa yeye apandaye mbingu za kale zilizo juu, yeye angurumaye kwa sauti kuu.
34 Ascribe the power to God: for his maiestie is vpon Israel, and his strength is in the cloudes.
Tangazeni uwezo wa Mungu, ambaye fahari yake iko juu ya Israeli, ambaye uwezo wake uko katika anga.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thine holie places: the God of Israel is hee that giueth strength and power vnto the people: praised be God.
Ee Mungu, wewe unatisha katika mahali patakatifu pako, Mungu wa Israeli huwapa watu wake uwezo na nguvu. Mungu Asifiwe!
