< Psalms 95 >
1 O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
Njooni, tumwimbie Bwana kwa furaha; tumfanyie kelele za shangwe Mwamba wa wokovu wetu.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and shout joyfully unto him with psalms.
Tuje mbele zake kwa shukrani, tumtukuze kwa vinanda na nyimbo.
3 For a great God is the Lord, and a great King above all Gods;
Kwa kuwa Bwana ni Mungu mkuu, mfalme mkuu juu ya miungu yote.
4 In whose hand are the deep places of the earth; and whose are the heights of mountains;
Mkononi mwake mna vilindi vya dunia, na vilele vya milima ni mali yake.
5 Whose is the sea, and who hath made it; and whose hands have formed the dry land.
Bahari ni yake, kwani ndiye aliifanya, na mikono yake iliumba nchi kavu.
6 Oh come, let us prostrate ourselves and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
Njooni, tusujudu, tumwabudu, tupige magoti mbele za Bwana Muumba wetu,
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the flock of his hand: yea, this day, if ye will hearken to his voice,
kwa maana yeye ndiye Mungu wetu, na sisi ni watu wa malisho yake, kondoo chini ya utunzaji wake. Kama mkiisikia sauti yake leo,
8 Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as on the day of the temptation in the wilderness:
msiifanye mioyo yenu migumu kama mlivyofanya kule Meriba, kama mlivyofanya siku ile kule Masa jangwani,
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, although they had seen my doing.
ambapo baba zenu walinijaribu na kunipima, ingawa walikuwa wameyaona matendo yangu.
10 Forty years long did I feel loathing on that generation, and I said, It is a people of an erring heart; and they truly acknowledged not my ways:
Kwa miaka arobaini nilikasirikia kizazi kile, nikasema, “Hawa ni taifa ambalo mioyo yao imepotoka, nao hawajazijua njia zangu.”
11 So that I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.
Hivyo nikatangaza kwa kiapo katika hasira yangu, “Kamwe hawataingia rahani mwangu.”
