Psalms 96

1 Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.

Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Bwana dunia yote.

2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.

Mwimbieni Bwana, lisifuni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku baada ya siku.

3 Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.

Tangazeni utukufu wake katikati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu miongoni mwa mataifa yote.

4 For the Lord is great, and greatly praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

Kwa kuwa Bwana ni mkuu mwenye kustahili kusifiwa kuliko wote; yeye ni wa kuogopwa kuliko miungu yote.

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.

Kwa maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini Bwana aliziumba mbingu.

6 Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Fahari na enzi viko mbele yake; nguvu na utukufu vimo patakatifu pake.

7 Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.

Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za mataifa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.

8 Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.

Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; leteni sadaka na mje katika nyua zake.

9 Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.

Mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake; dunia yote na itetemeke mbele zake.

10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.

Katikati ya mataifa semeni, “Bwana anatawala.” Ulimwengu ameuweka imara, hauwezi kusogezwa; atawahukumu watu kwa uadilifu.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.

Mbingu na zishangilie, nchi na ifurahi; bahari na ivume, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake;

12 Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

mashamba na yashangilie, pamoja na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake. Kisha miti yote ya msituni itaimba kwa furaha;

13 Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.

itaimba mbele za Bwana kwa maana anakuja, anakuja kuihukumu dunia. Ataihukumu dunia kwa haki, na mataifa katika kweli yake.
