Psalms 96
1 Sing to Jehovah a new song. Sing to Jehovah, all the earth.
Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.
2 Sing to Jehovah. 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 the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.
Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.
4 For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.
Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Jehovah made the heavens.
Maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, bali ni Yahwe aliye zifanya mbingu.
6 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake. Nguvu na uzuri zimo katika patakatifu pake.
7 Ascribe to Jehovah, you families of nations, ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.
Mpeni Yahwe sifa, enyi ukoo wa watu, mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.
8 Ascribe to Jehovah the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.
9 Worship Jehovah in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
Mpigieni magoti Yahwe mkiwa mmevaa mavazi ambayo yanaheshimu utakatifu wake. Nchi yote tetemekeni mbele zake.
10 Say among the nations, "Jehovah reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
Semeni kati ya mataifa, Yahwe anatawala.” Ulimwengu pia umeimarishwa; hauwezi kutikiswa. Yeye huwahukumu watu kwa haki.
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness.
Mbingu na zifurahi, na nchi ishangilie; bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo vipige kelele kwa shangwe.
12 Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha
13 before Jehovah; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
mbele za Yahwe, maana yeye anakuja. Anakuja kuihukumu nchi. Naye atauhukumu ulumwengu kwa haki na mataifa kwa uaminifu wake.
