Psalms 99

1 YHWH reigns. Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim; the earth shakes.

Bwana anatawala, mataifa na yatetemeke; anakalia kiti cha enzi katikati ya makerubi, dunia na itikisike.

2 YHWH is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

Bwana ni mkuu katika Sayuni; ametukuzwa juu ya mataifa yote.

3 Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy.

Wanalisifu jina lako ambalo ni kuu na la kuogopwa: yeye ni mtakatifu!

4 The King's strength also loves justice. You do establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

Mfalme ni mwenye nguvu na hupenda haki, wewe umethibitisha adili; katika Yakobo umefanya yaliyo haki na sawa.

5 Exalt YHWH our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy.

Mtukuzeni Bwana Mungu wetu, na mkaabudu katika mahali pa kuwekea miguu yake; yeye ni mtakatifu.

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on YHWH, and he answered them.

Mose na Aroni walikuwa miongoni mwa makuhani wake, Samweli alikuwa miongoni mwa walioliitia jina lake; walimwita Bwana, naye aliwajibu.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

Alizungumza nao kutoka nguzo ya wingu; walizishika sheria zake na amri alizowapa.

8 You answered them, YHWH our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

Ee Bwana, wetu, ndiwe uliyewajibu, kwa Israeli ulikuwa Mungu mwenye kusamehe, ingawa uliadhibu matendo yao mabaya.

9 Exalt YHWH, our God. Worship at his holy mountain, for YHWH, our God, is holy.

Mtukuzeni Bwana Mungu wetu, mwabuduni kwenye mlima wake mtakatifu, kwa maana Bwana Mungu wetu ni mtakatifu.
