Zaburi 47

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

Unto the end. A Psalm for the sons of Korah. All nations, clap your hands. Shout joyfully 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 is exalted and terrible: a great King over all the earth.

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

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

4 Alituchagulia urithi wetu, fahari ya Yakobo, aliyempenda.

He has chosen us for his inheritance: the splendor of Jacob, whom he has loved.

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

God ascends with jubilation, and the Lord with the voice of the trumpet.

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

Sing psalms to our God, sing psalms. Sing psalms to our King, sing psalms.

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

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing psalms wisely.

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

God will reign over the peoples. God sits upon his holy throne.

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

The leaders of the peoples have been gathered together by the God of Abraham. For the strong gods of the earth have been exceedingly exalted.
