Psalms 47

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Pigeni makofi, enyi mataifa yote, mpigieni Mungu kelele za shangwe!

2 For terrible is Jehovah, the Most High, The great king over all the earth.

Jinsi gani alivyo wa kutisha, Bwana Aliye Juu Sana, Mfalme mkuu juu ya dunia yote!

3 He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;

Ametiisha mataifa chini yetu watu wengi chini ya miguu yetu.

4 He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)

Alituchagulia urithi wetu, fahari ya Yakobo, aliyempenda.

5 God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.

Mungu amepaa kwa kelele za shangwe, Bwana kwa sauti za tarumbeta.

6 Sing praises 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 king of all the earth; Sing to him hymns of praise!

Kwa kuwa Mungu ni mfalme wa dunia yote, mwimbieni zaburi za sifa.

8 God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

Mungu anatawala juu ya mataifa, Mungu ameketi juu ya kiti chake cha enzi kitakatifu.

9 The princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.

Wakuu wa mataifa wanakusanyika kama watu wa Mungu wa Abrahamu, kwa kuwa wafalme wa dunia ni mali ya Mungu; yeye ametukuka sana.
