Zaburi 47

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

O clap your hands, all you people; shout to God with the voice of triumph.

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 shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 Alituchagulia urithi wetu, fahari ya Yakobo, aliyempenda.

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

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

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

Sing praises to 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 the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding.

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

God reigns over the heathen: God sits on 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 princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong to God: he is greatly exalted.
