Psalms 96
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.
2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.
Mwimbieni Yahwe, tukuzeni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.
4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, bali ni Yahwe aliye zifanya mbingu.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake. Nguvu na uzuri zimo katika patakatifu pake.
7 Give unto the LORD, O all of you families of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Mpeni Yahwe sifa, enyi ukoo wa watu, mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.
8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.
9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
Mpigieni magoti Yahwe mkiwa mmevaa mavazi ambayo yanaheshimu utakatifu wake. Nchi yote tetemekeni mbele zake.
10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigns: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
Semeni kati ya mataifa, Yahwe anatawala.” Ulimwengu pia umeimarishwa; hauwezi kutikiswa. Yeye huwahukumu watu kwa haki.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.
Mbingu na zifurahi, na nchi ishangilie; bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo vipige kelele kwa shangwe.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha
13 Before the LORD: for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
mbele za Yahwe, maana yeye anakuja. Anakuja kuihukumu nchi. Naye atauhukumu ulumwengu kwa haki na mataifa kwa uaminifu wake.
