Zaburi 96

1 Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Bwana dunia yote.

O sing to the LORD a new song: sing to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Mwimbieni Bwana, lisifuni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku baada ya siku.

Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Tangazeni utukufu wake katikati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu miongoni mwa mataifa yote.

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4 Kwa kuwa Bwana ni mkuu mwenye kustahili kusifiwa kuliko wote; yeye ni wa kuogopwa kuliko miungu yote.

For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5 Kwa maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini Bwana aliziumba mbingu.

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Fahari na enzi viko mbele yake; nguvu na utukufu vimo patakatifu pake.

Honor and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za mataifa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.

Give to the LORD, O you kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.

8 Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; leteni sadaka na mje katika nyua zake.

Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9 Mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake; dunia yote na itetemeke mbele zake.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

10 Katikati ya mataifa semeni, “Bwana anatawala.” Ulimwengu ameuweka imara, hauwezi kusogezwa; atawahukumu watu kwa uadilifu.

Say among the heathen that the LORD reigns: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Mbingu na zishangilie, nchi na ifurahi; bahari na ivume, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake;

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.

12 mashamba na yashangilie, pamoja na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake. Kisha miti yote ya msituni itaimba kwa furaha;

Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 itaimba mbele za Bwana kwa maana anakuja, anakuja kuihukumu dunia. Ataihukumu dunia kwa haki, na mataifa katika kweli yake.

Before the LORD: for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
