Zaburi 8

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa gitithi. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, Bwana wetu, tazama jinsi lilivyo tukufu jina lako duniani mwote! Umeuweka utukufu wako juu ya mbingu.

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great! Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

2 Midomoni mwa watoto wachanga na wanyonyao umeamuru sifa, kwa sababu ya watesi wako, kumnyamazisha adui na mlipiza kisasi.

You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

3 Nikiziangalia mbingu zako, kazi ya vidole vyako, mwezi na nyota, ulizoziratibisha,

When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

4 mwanadamu ni kitu gani hata unamfikiria, binadamu ni nani hata unamjali?

it is amazing [to me] that [RHQ] you think about people, that you are concerned about [us] humans!

5 Umemfanya chini kidogo kuliko viumbe wa mbinguni, ukamvika taji ya utukufu na heshima.

You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

6 Umemfanya mtawala juu ya kazi za mikono yako; umeweka vitu vyote chini ya miguu yake.

You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

7 Mifugo na makundi yote pia, naam, na wanyama wa kondeni,

the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

8 ndege wa angani na samaki wa baharini, naam, kila kiogeleacho katika njia za bahari.

the birds, the fish, and everything [else] that swims in the seas.

9 Ee Bwana, Bwana wetu, tazama jinsi lilivyo tukufu jina lako duniani mwote!

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!
