Zaburi 98
1 Zaburi. Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, kwa maana ametenda mambo ya ajabu; kitanga chake cha kuume na mkono wake mtakatifu umemfanyia wokovu.
Sing to Yahweh a new song, because he has done wonderful things! By his power [MTY] and his great strength [DOU] he has defeated [his enemies].
2 Bwana ameufanya wokovu wake ujulikane na amedhihirisha haki yake kwa mataifa.
Yahweh has declared to people that he has defeated his enemies; he has revealed that he has punished [them], and [people in] all the world have seen that he has done it.
3 Ameukumbuka upendo wake na uaminifu wake kwa nyumba ya Israeli; miisho yote ya dunia imeuona wokovu wa Mungu wetu.
Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY], he has faithfully loved us and (been loyal to/not abandoned) us. [People who live] in very remote places in all the earth have seen that our God has defeated [his enemies].
4 Mpigieni Bwana kelele za shangwe, dunia yote, ipaze sauti kwa nyimbo za shangwe na vinanda;
All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!
5 mwimbieni Bwana kwa kinubi, kwa kinubi na sauti za kuimba,
Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing [delightful] music.
6 kwa tarumbeta na mvumo wa baragumu za pembe za kondoo dume: shangilieni kwa furaha mbele za Bwana, aliye Mfalme.
[Some of you should] blow trumpets and other horns, [while others] shout joyfully to Yahweh, [our] king.
7 Bahari na ivume na kila kiliomo ndani yake, dunia na wote wakaao ndani yake.
The oceans and all [the creatures] that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh]. Everyone on the earth should sing!
8 Mito na ipige makofi, milima na iimbe pamoja kwa furaha,
[It should seem as though] the rivers are clapping their hands [to praise Yahweh] and that the hills are singing together joyfully in front of Yahweh,
9 vyote na viimbe mbele za Bwana, kwa maana yuaja kuhukumu dunia. Atahukumu dunia kwa haki na mataifa kwa haki.
because he will come to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth! He will judge [all] the people-groups [in the world] justly and fairly [DOU].
