< Psalms 76 >
1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Zaburi ya Asafu. Wimbo. Katika Yuda, Mungu anajulikana, jina lake ni kuu katika Israeli.
2 His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.
Hema lake liko Salemu, makao yake katika Sayuni.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
Huko alivunja mishale imetametayo, ngao na panga, silaha za vita.
4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
Wewe unangʼaa kwa mwanga, mwenye fahari zaidi ya milima yenye utajiri wa wanyama pori.
5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
Mashujaa hulala wametekwa nyara, hulala usingizi wao wa mwisho; hakuna hata mmoja wa watu wa vita anayeweza kuinua mikono yake.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
Kwa kukemea kwako, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo, farasi na gari la vita vilikaa kimya.
7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
Wewe peke yako ndiye wa kuogopwa. Ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako unapokasirika?
8 You pronounced judgement from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
Kutoka mbinguni ulitamka hukumu, nayo nchi ikaogopa, ikawa kimya:
9 when God arose to judgement, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)
wakati wewe, Ee Mungu, ulipoinuka kuhukumu, kuwaokoa wote walioonewa katika nchi.
10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
Hakika ghadhabu yako dhidi ya wanadamu inakuletea sifa, na masalia ya ghadhabu yako unajifunga mshipi.
11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfil them! Let all of his neighbours bring presents to him who is to be feared.
Wekeni nadhiri kwa Bwana Mungu wenu na kuzitimiza; nchi zote za jirani na walete zawadi kwa Yule astahiliye kuogopwa.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
Huvunja roho za watawala; anaogopwa na wafalme wa dunia.
