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, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

2 Hema lake liko Salemu, makao yake katika Sayuni.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

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

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

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

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

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 were troubled. 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 thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

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

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

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

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

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

When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

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

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

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

Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

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

Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
