Zaburi 47

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

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. O make a glad noise with your hands, all you peoples; letting your voices go up to God with joy.

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

For the Lord Most High is to be feared; he is a great King over all the earth.

3 Ametiisha mataifa chini yetu watu wengi chini ya miguu yetu.

He will put down the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 Alituchagulia urithi wetu, fahari ya Yakobo, aliyempenda.

He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah)

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

God has gone up with a glad cry, the Lord with the sound of the horn.

6 Mwimbieni Mungu sifa, imbeni sifa, mwimbieni sifa Mfalme wetu, imbeni sifa.

Give praises to God, make songs of praise; give praises to our King, make songs of praise.

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

For God is the King of all the earth; make songs of praise with knowledge.

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

God is the ruler over the nations; God is on the high seat of his holy rule.

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

The rulers of the peoples have come together, with the people of the God of Abraham; because the powers of the earth are God's: he is lifted up on high.
