Zaburi 47

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

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

For terrible is Jehovah, the Most High, The great king over all the earth.

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

He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;

4 Alituchagulia urithi wetu, fahari ya Yakobo, aliyempenda.

He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)

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

God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the 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 king of all the earth; Sing to him hymns of praise!

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

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth 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 princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.
