Psalms 47

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm for the sons of Korach.” All ye people, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

Pigeni makofi, enyi watu wote; mpigieni Mungu kelele za ushindi.

2 For the Lord is most high, fear-inspiring; he is a great king over all the earth.

Kwa maana Yahwe Aliye Juu anatisha; ni Mfalme mkuu dunia yote.

3 He will subdue people under us, and nations under our feet.

Yeye anawatiisha chini yetu na mataifa chini ya miguu yetu.

4 He will choose for us our inheritance, the excellency of Jacob which he loveth. (Selah)

Yeye huchagua urithi kwa ajili yetu, utukufu wa Yakobo ambaye alimpenda. Serah

5 God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet.

Mungu ameinuliwa juu kwa shangwe, Kwa mbiu ya shangwe Yahwe yu juu.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

Mwimbieni Mungu sifa, imbeni sifa; mwimbieni sifa Mfalme wetu, imbeni sifa.

7 For God is King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

Kwa maana Mungu ni Mfalme duniani kote; mwimbieni mkiwa na uelewa.

8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

Mungu anatawala mataifa yote; Mungu hukaa kwenye kiti cha enzi.

9 The nobles of the people are gathered together, [to be with] the people of the God of Abraham; for unto God belong the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.

Wakuu wa watu wamekusanyika pamoja kwa watu wa Mungu wa Ibrahimu; kwa kuwa ngao za duniani ni za Mungu; yeye ameinuliwa juu sana.
