Zaburi 76

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za muziki. Zaburi ya Asafu. Wimbo. Katika Yuda, Mungu anajulikana, jina lake ni kuu katika Israeli.

Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

2 Hema lake liko Salemu, makao yake katika Sayuni.

And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

3 Huko alivunja mishale imetametayo, ngao na panga, silaha za vita.

In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4 Wewe unangʼaa kwa mwanga, mwenye fahari zaidi ya milima yenye utajiri wa wanyama pori.

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

5 Mashujaa hulala wametekwa nyara, hulala usingizi wao wa mwisho; hakuna hata mmoja wa watu wa vita anayeweza kuinua mikono yake.

All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 Kwa kukemea kwako, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo, farasi na gari la vita vilikaa kimya.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

7 Wewe peke yako ndiye wa kuogopwa. Ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako unapokasirika?

You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

8 Kutoka mbinguni ulitamka hukumu, nayo nchi ikaogopa, ikawa kimya:

You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

9 wakati wewe, Ee Mungu, ulipoinuka kuhukumu, kuwaokoa wote walioonewa katika nchi.

when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

10 Hakika ghadhabu yako dhidi ya wanadamu inakuletea sifa, na masalia ya ghadhabu yako unajifunga mshipi.

For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

11 Wekeni nadhiri kwa Bwana Mungu wenu na kuzitimiza; nchi zote za jirani na walete zawadi kwa Yule astahiliye kuogopwa.

Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

12 Huvunja roho za watawala; anaogopwa na wafalme wa dunia.

even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
