Zaburi 47

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

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with a voice of exultation.

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

For the Lord most high is terrible; [he is] a great king over all the earth.

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

He has subdued the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 Alituchagulia urithi wetu, fahari ya Yakobo, aliyempenda.

He has chosen out his inheritance for us, the beauty of Jacob which he loved. (Pause)

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

God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with a sound of a trumpet.

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

Sing praises to our God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises.

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

For God is king of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.

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

God reigns over the nations: God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

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 people are assembled with the God of Abraam: for God's mighty ones of the earth have been greatly exalted.
