Psalms 96
1 Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.
2 Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:
Mwimbieni Yahwe, tukuzeni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
3 Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.
Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.
4 For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;
Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.
5 For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought—But, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
Maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, bali ni Yahwe aliye zifanya mbingu.
6 Praise 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 Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength;
Mpeni Yahwe sifa, enyi ukoo wa watu, mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.
8 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;
Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.
9 Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness, Be in anguish at his presence, all the earth!
Mpigieni magoti Yahwe mkiwa mmevaa mavazi ambayo yanaheshimu utakatifu wake. Nchi yote tetemekeni mbele zake.
10 Say among the nations, Yahweh, hath become King, Surely he hath fixed the world, it shall not be shaken, 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 rejoice, and the earth exult, Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
Mbingu na zifurahi, na nchi ishangilie; bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo vipige kelele kwa shangwe.
12 Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,
Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha
13 Before Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth, —He will judge 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.
