< Psalms 47 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph.
Pigeni makofi, enyi watu wote; mpigieni Mungu kelele za ushindi.
2 For Jehovah Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.
Kwa maana Yahwe Aliye Juu anatisha; ni Mfalme mkuu dunia yote.
3 He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.
Yeye anawatiisha chini yetu na mataifa chini ya miguu yetu.
4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)
Yeye huchagua urithi kwa ajili yetu, utukufu wa Yakobo ambaye alimpenda. Serah
5 God has gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
Mungu ameinuliwa juu kwa shangwe, Kwa mbiu ya shangwe Yahwe yu juu.
6 Sing praise to God, sing praises. Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
Mwimbieni Mungu sifa, imbeni sifa; mwimbieni sifa Mfalme wetu, imbeni sifa.
7 For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.
Kwa maana Mungu ni Mfalme duniani kote; mwimbieni mkiwa na uelewa.
8 God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.
Mungu anatawala mataifa yote; Mungu hukaa kwenye kiti cha enzi.
9 The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. 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.
