Zaburi 97
1 Bwana anatawala, nchi na ifurahi, visiwa vyote vishangilie.
For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
2 Mawingu na giza nene vinamzunguka, haki na hukumu ndio msingi wa kiti chake cha enzi.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Moto hutangulia mbele zake na huteketeza adui zake pande zote.
A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
4 Umeme wake wa radi humulika dunia, nchi huona na kutetemeka.
His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
5 Milima huyeyuka kama nta mbele za Bwana, mbele za Bwana wa dunia yote.
The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Mbingu zinatangaza haki yake, na mataifa yote huona utukufu wake.
The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
7 Wote waabuduo sanamu waaibishwa, wale wajisifiao sanamu: mwabuduni yeye, enyi miungu yote!
Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
8 Sayuni husikia na kushangilia, vijiji vya Yuda vinafurahi kwa sababu ya hukumu zako, Ee Bwana.
Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 Kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, ndiwe Uliye Juu Sana kuliko dunia yote; umetukuka sana juu ya miungu yote.
For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
10 Wale wanaompenda Bwana na wauchukie uovu, kwa maana yeye hulinda maisha ya waaminifu wake na kuwaokoa kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.
You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.
11 Nuru huangaza wenye haki na furaha kwa watu wanyofu wa moyo.
Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.
12 Furahini katika Bwana, ninyi mlio wenye haki, lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
