Zaburi 96
1 Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Bwana dunia yote.
Sing to Yahweh a new song! [You people] throughout the earth, sing to Yahweh!
2 Mwimbieni Bwana, lisifuni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku baada ya siku.
Sing to Yahweh and praise him [MTY]! Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved/rescued us.
3 Tangazeni utukufu wake katikati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu miongoni mwa mataifa yote.
Tell about his glory/greatness to all people-groups; tell all people-groups the marvelous [things that he has done].
4 Kwa kuwa Bwana ni mkuu mwenye kustahili kusifiwa kuliko wote; yeye ni wa kuogopwa kuliko miungu yote.
Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much; he should be revered more than for all the gods,
5 Kwa maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini Bwana aliziumba mbingu.
because all the gods that other people-groups [worship] are [only] idols, but Yahweh [is truly great]; he created the skies!
6 Fahari na enzi viko mbele yake; nguvu na utukufu vimo patakatifu pake.
Those who are in his presence honor him and can see that he is a great king. They can see in his temple that he is very powerful and is very beautiful.
7 Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za mataifa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.
You people in nations all over the earth, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
8 Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; leteni sadaka na mje katika nyua zake.
Praise Yahweh like he deserves to be praised, Bring an offering and come to his temple.
9 Mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake; dunia yote na itetemeke mbele zake.
Bow down before Yahweh [when he appears] in his holy/sacred temple; everyone on the earth should tremble in front of him, because he is majestic and holy.
10 Katikati ya mataifa semeni, “Bwana anatawala.” Ulimwengu ameuweka imara, hauwezi kusogezwa; atawahukumu watu kwa uadilifu.
Say to all the people-groups, “Yahweh is the king! He put the world in its place, and nothing will ever be able to move/shake it. He will judge [all] the people-groups fairly.”
11 Mbingu na zishangilie, nchi na ifurahi; bahari na ivume, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake;
[All the beings that are in] [MTY] the heavens should be glad, and all [the people on the] earth should rejoice. The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh].
12 mashamba na yashangilie, pamoja na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake. Kisha miti yote ya msituni itaimba kwa furaha;
The fields and everything that grows in them should rejoice. When they do that, [it will be as though] all the trees in the forests will sing joyfully
13 itaimba mbele za Bwana kwa maana anakuja, anakuja kuihukumu dunia. Ataihukumu dunia kwa haki, na mataifa katika kweli yake.
in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth. He will judge all the people fairly/justly, according to [what he knows is] true.
