< Zaburi 98 >
1 Zaburi. Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, kwa maana ametenda mambo ya ajabu; kitanga chake cha kuume na mkono wake mtakatifu umemfanyia wokovu.
O sing to Jehovah a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, has wrought salvation for him.
2 Bwana ameufanya wokovu wake ujulikane na amedhihirisha haki yake kwa mataifa.
Jehovah has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 Ameukumbuka upendo wake na uaminifu wake kwa nyumba ya Israeli; miisho yote ya dunia imeuona wokovu wa Mungu wetu.
He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Mpigieni Bwana kelele za shangwe, dunia yote, ipaze sauti kwa nyimbo za shangwe na vinanda;
Make a joyful noise to Jehovah, all the earth. Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.
5 mwimbieni Bwana kwa kinubi, kwa kinubi na sauti za kuimba,
Sing praises to Jehovah with the harp. With the harp and the voice of melody,
6 kwa tarumbeta na mvumo wa baragumu za pembe za kondoo dume: shangilieni kwa furaha mbele za Bwana, aliye Mfalme.
with trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King-Jehovah.
7 Bahari na ivume na kila kiliomo ndani yake, dunia na wote wakaao ndani yake.
Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell in it.
8 Mito na ipige makofi, milima na iimbe pamoja kwa furaha,
Let the floods clap their hands. Let the hills sing for joy together
9 vyote na viimbe mbele za Bwana, kwa maana yuaja kuhukumu dunia. Atahukumu dunia kwa haki na mataifa kwa haki.
before Jehovah, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
