Zaburi 99

1 Bwana anatawala, mataifa na yatetemeke; anakalia kiti cha enzi katikati ya makerubi, dunia na itikisike.

Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

2 Bwana ni mkuu katika Sayuni; ametukuzwa juu ya mataifa yote.

Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

3 Wanalisifu jina lako ambalo ni kuu na la kuogopwa: yeye ni mtakatifu!

They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

4 Mfalme ni mwenye nguvu na hupenda haki, wewe umethibitisha adili; katika Yakobo umefanya yaliyo haki na sawa.

And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Mtukuzeni Bwana Mungu wetu, na mkaabudu katika mahali pa kuwekea miguu yake; yeye ni mtakatifu.

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

6 Mose na Aroni walikuwa miongoni mwa makuhani wake, Samweli alikuwa miongoni mwa walioliitia jina lake; walimwita Bwana, naye aliwajibu.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 Alizungumza nao kutoka nguzo ya wingu; walizishika sheria zake na amri alizowapa.

He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

8 Ee Bwana, wetu, ndiwe uliyewajibu, kwa Israeli ulikuwa Mungu mwenye kusamehe, ingawa uliadhibu matendo yao mabaya.

Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

9 Mtukuzeni Bwana Mungu wetu, mwabuduni kwenye mlima wake mtakatifu, kwa maana Bwana Mungu wetu ni mtakatifu.

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.
