Psalms 96
1 Sing to YHWH a new song, Sing to YHWH all the earth.
Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.
2 Sing to YHWH, bless His Name, Proclaim His salvation from day to day.
Mwimbieni Yahwe, tukuzeni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
3 Declare His glory among nations, His wonders among all the peoples.
Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.
4 For YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over all gods.
Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.
5 For all the gods of the peoples [are] nothing, And YHWH made the heavens.
Maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, bali ni Yahwe aliye zifanya mbingu.
6 Splendor and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake. Nguvu na uzuri zimo katika patakatifu pake.
7 Ascribe to YHWH, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.
Mpeni Yahwe sifa, enyi ukoo wa watu, mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.
8 Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present and come into His courts.
Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.
9 Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
Mpigieni magoti Yahwe mkiwa mmevaa mavazi ambayo yanaheshimu utakatifu wake. Nchi yote tetemekeni mbele zake.
10 Say among nations, “YHWH has reigned, Also—the world is established, unmoved, He judges the peoples in uprightness.”
Semeni kati ya mataifa, Yahwe anatawala.” Ulimwengu pia umeimarishwa; hauwezi kutikiswa. Yeye huwahukumu watu kwa haki.
11 The heavens rejoice, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fullness roar.
Mbingu na zifurahi, na nchi ishangilie; bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo vipige kelele kwa shangwe.
12 The field exults, and all that [is] in it, Then all trees of the forest sing,
Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha
13 Before YHWH, for He has come, For He has come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
mbele za Yahwe, maana yeye anakuja. Anakuja kuihukumu nchi. Naye atauhukumu ulumwengu kwa haki na mataifa kwa uaminifu wake.
