< 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 OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, His Name [is] great in Israel.
2 Hema lake liko Salemu, makao yake katika Sayuni.
And His dwelling place is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
3 Huko alivunja mishale imetametayo, ngao na panga, silaha za vita.
There He has shattered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 Wewe unangʼaa kwa mwanga, mwenye fahari zaidi ya milima yenye utajiri wa wanyama pori.
You [are] bright, majestic above hills of prey.
5 Mashujaa hulala wametekwa nyara, hulala usingizi wao wa mwisho; hakuna hata mmoja wa watu wa vita anayeweza kuinua mikono yake.
The mighty of heart have spoiled themselves, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
6 Kwa kukemea kwako, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo, farasi na gari la vita vilikaa kimya.
From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
7 Wewe peke yako ndiye wa kuogopwa. Ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako unapokasirika?
You, fearful [are] You, And who stands before You, Since You have been angry?
8 Kutoka mbinguni ulitamka hukumu, nayo nchi ikaogopa, ikawa kimya:
You have sounded judgment from the heavens, Earth has feared, and has been still,
9 wakati wewe, Ee Mungu, ulipoinuka kuhukumu, kuwaokoa wote walioonewa katika nchi.
In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)
10 Hakika ghadhabu yako dhidi ya wanadamu inakuletea sifa, na masalia ya ghadhabu yako unajifunga mshipi.
For the fierceness of man praises You, You gird on the remnant of fierceness.
11 Wekeni nadhiri kwa Bwana Mungu wenu na kuzitimiza; nchi zote za jirani na walete zawadi kwa Yule astahiliye kuogopwa.
Vow and complete to your God YHWH, All you surrounding Him, They bring presents to the Fearful One.
12 Huvunja roho za watawala; anaogopwa na wafalme wa dunia.
He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
