< 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.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel;
2 Hema lake liko Salemu, makao yake katika Sayuni.
And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.
3 Huko alivunja mishale imetametayo, ngao na panga, silaha za vita.
There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. (Selah)
4 Wewe unangʼaa kwa mwanga, mwenye fahari zaidi ya milima yenye utajiri wa wanyama pori.
More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.
5 Mashujaa hulala wametekwa nyara, hulala usingizi wao wa mwisho; hakuna hata mmoja wa watu wa vita anayeweza kuinua mikono yake.
The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 Kwa kukemea kwako, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo, farasi na gari la vita vilikaa kimya.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Wewe peke yako ndiye wa kuogopwa. Ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako unapokasirika?
Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?
8 Kutoka mbinguni ulitamka hukumu, nayo nchi ikaogopa, ikawa kimya:
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,
9 wakati wewe, Ee Mungu, ulipoinuka kuhukumu, kuwaokoa wote walioonewa katika nchi.
When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
10 Hakika ghadhabu yako dhidi ya wanadamu inakuletea sifa, na masalia ya ghadhabu yako unajifunga mshipi.
For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.
11 Wekeni nadhiri kwa Bwana Mungu wenu na kuzitimiza; nchi zote za jirani na walete zawadi kwa Yule astahiliye kuogopwa.
Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.
12 Huvunja roho za watawala; anaogopwa na wafalme wa dunia.
He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.
