Zaburi 97
1 Bwana anatawala, nchi na ifurahi, visiwa vyote vishangilie.
For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
2 Mawingu na giza nene vinamzunguka, haki na hukumu ndio msingi wa kiti chake cha enzi.
Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Moto hutangulia mbele zake na huteketeza adui zake pande zote.
Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
4 Umeme wake wa radi humulika dunia, nchi huona na kutetemeka.
His lightnings appeared 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 the whole earth.
6 Mbingu zinatangaza haki yake, na mataifa yote huona utukufu wake.
The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
7 Wote waabuduo sanamu waaibishwa, wale wajisifiao sanamu: mwabuduni yeye, enyi miungu yote!
Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.
8 Sayuni husikia na kushangilia, vijiji vya Yuda vinafurahi kwa sababu ya hukumu zako, Ee Bwana.
Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 Kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, ndiwe Uliye Juu Sana kuliko dunia yote; umetukuka sana juu ya miungu yote.
For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted 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 preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
11 Nuru huangaza wenye haki na furaha kwa watu wanyofu wa moyo.
Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Furahini katika Bwana, ninyi mlio wenye haki, lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
