< Psalms 76 >
1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Zaburi ya Asafu. Wimbo. Katika Yuda, Mungu anajulikana, jina lake ni kuu katika Israeli.
2 For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion.
Hema lake liko Salemu, makao yake katika Sayuni.
3 There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. (Selah)
Huko alivunja mishale imetametayo, ngao na panga, silaha za vita.
4 Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.
Wewe unangʼaa kwa mwanga, mwenye fahari zaidi ya milima yenye utajiri wa wanyama pori.
5 The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.
Mashujaa hulala wametekwa nyara, hulala usingizi wao wa mwisho; hakuna hata mmoja wa watu wa vita anayeweza kuinua mikono yake.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.
Kwa kukemea kwako, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo, farasi na gari la vita vilikaa kimya.
7 Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!
Wewe peke yako ndiye wa kuogopwa. Ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako unapokasirika?
8 Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,
Kutoka mbinguni ulitamka hukumu, nayo nchi ikaogopa, ikawa kimya:
9 When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. (Selah)
wakati wewe, Ee Mungu, ulipoinuka kuhukumu, kuwaokoa wote walioonewa katika nchi.
10 Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.
Hakika ghadhabu yako dhidi ya wanadamu inakuletea sifa, na masalia ya ghadhabu yako unajifunga mshipi.
11 Vowe and performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.
Wekeni nadhiri kwa Bwana Mungu wenu na kuzitimiza; nchi zote za jirani na walete zawadi kwa Yule astahiliye kuogopwa.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
Huvunja roho za watawala; anaogopwa na wafalme wa dunia.
