Zaburi 47

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

To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

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

For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

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

He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

4 Alituchagulia urithi wetu, fahari ya Yakobo, aliyempenda.

He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

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

God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

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

Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

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

For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.

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

God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on 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.

Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
