< Psalms 97 >
1 Yahweh he reigns let it be glad the earth let them rejoice islands many.
Bwana anatawala, nchi na ifurahi, visiwa vyote vishangilie.
2 Cloud and thick darkness [are] around him [is] righteousness and justice [the] foundation of throne his.
Mawingu na giza nene vinamzunguka, haki na hukumu ndio msingi wa kiti chake cha enzi.
3 Fire before him it goes and it may burn up all around opponents his.
Moto hutangulia mbele zake na huteketeza adui zake pande zote.
4 They light up lightning flashes his [the] world it sees and it trembled the earth.
Umeme wake wa radi humulika dunia, nchi huona na kutetemeka.
5 Mountains like wax they melt from to before Yahweh from to before [the] lord of all the earth.
Milima huyeyuka kama nta mbele za Bwana, mbele za Bwana wa dunia yote.
6 They declare the heavens righteousness his and they see all the peoples glory his.
Mbingu zinatangaza haki yake, na mataifa yote huona utukufu wake.
7 Let them be ashamed - all [those who] serve an image those [who] boast in worthless idols bow down to him O all gods.
Wote waabuduo sanamu waaibishwa, wale wajisifiao sanamu: mwabuduni yeye, enyi miungu yote!
8 It hears and it rejoiced - Zion and they were glad [the] daughters of Judah on account of judgments your O Yahweh.
Sayuni husikia na kushangilia, vijiji vya Yuda vinafurahi kwa sababu ya hukumu zako, Ee Bwana.
9 For you O Yahweh [are] most high over all the earth exceedingly you are exalted above all gods.
Kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, ndiwe Uliye Juu Sana kuliko dunia yote; umetukuka sana juu ya miungu yote.
10 O [you who] love Yahweh hate evil [he is] protecting [the] lives of faithful [people] his from [the] hand of wicked [people] he delivers them.
Wale wanaompenda Bwana na wauchukie uovu, kwa maana yeye hulinda maisha ya waaminifu wake na kuwaokoa kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.
11 Light [is] sown for the righteous and for [people] upright of heart joy.
Nuru huangaza wenye haki na furaha kwa watu wanyofu wa moyo.
12 Rejoice O righteous [people] in Yahweh and give thanks to [the] remembrance of holiness his.
Furahini katika Bwana, ninyi mlio wenye haki, lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
