< Psalms 47 >
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with the sound of triumph.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Pigeni makofi, enyi mataifa yote, mpigieni Mungu kelele za shangwe!
2 For Yahweh Most High is terrifying; he is a great King over all the earth.
Jinsi gani alivyo wa kutisha, Bwana Aliye Juu Sana, Mfalme mkuu juu ya dunia yote!
3 He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet.
Ametiisha mataifa chini yetu watu wengi chini ya miguu yetu.
4 He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)
Alituchagulia urithi wetu, fahari ya Yakobo, aliyempenda.
5 God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a 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 the King over all the earth; sing praises with understanding.
Kwa kuwa Mungu ni mfalme wa dunia yote, mwimbieni zaburi za sifa.
8 God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.
Mungu anatawala juu ya mataifa, Mungu ameketi juu ya kiti chake cha enzi kitakatifu.
9 The princes of the peoples have gathered together to the people of the God of Abraham; for the shields of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.
Wakuu wa mataifa wanakusanyika kama watu wa Mungu wa Abrahamu, kwa kuwa wafalme wa dunia ni mali ya Mungu; yeye ametukuka sana.
