Zaburi 97
1 Bwana anatawala, nchi na ifurahi, visiwa vyote vishangilie.
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles 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: righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
3 Moto hutangulia mbele zake na huteketeza adui zake pande zote.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.
4 Umeme wake wa radi humulika dunia, nchi huona na kutetemeka.
His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Milima huyeyuka kama nta mbele za Bwana, mbele za Bwana wa dunia yote.
The hills 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 declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Wote waabuduo sanamu waaibishwa, wale wajisifiao sanamu: mwabuduni yeye, enyi miungu yote!
Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8 Sayuni husikia na kushangilia, vijiji vya Yuda vinafurahi kwa sababu ya hukumu zako, Ee Bwana.
Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah 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, LORD, art most high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Wale wanaompenda Bwana na wauchukie uovu, kwa maana yeye hulinda maisha ya waaminifu wake na kuwaokoa kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.
O ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Nuru huangaza wenye haki na furaha kwa watu wanyofu wa moyo.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Furahini katika Bwana, ninyi mlio wenye haki, lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to his holy name.
