Zaburi 99

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

THE Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

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

The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

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

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

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

The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for 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 upon the Lord, and he answered them.

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

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

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

Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

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

Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.
