Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake.

Bwana anatawala, mataifa na yatetemeke; anakalia kiti cha enzi katikati ya makerubi, dunia na itikisike.

2 The LORD is great in Zion; and He is high above all the peoples.

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

3 Let them praise Thy name as great and awful; Holy is He.

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

4 The strength also of the king who loveth justice — Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed justice and righteousness 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 prostrate yourselves at His footstool; Holy is He.

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, did call upon the LORD, and He answered them.

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

7 He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud; they kept His testimonies, and the statute that He gave them.

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

8 O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.

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

9 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

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