Zaburi 99

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

Yahweh, hath become king, Let the peoples, tremble, He is enthroned on the cherubim, Let the earth, shake.

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

Yahweh, in Zion, is great, And, high, is he over all the peoples.

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

Let them thank his Name—great and reverend, Holy, is he!

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

Yea, with the strength of a king—justice, he loveth, —Thou, hast established equity, Justice and righteousness in Jacob, thou, hast wrought.

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

Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down at his footstool, Holy, is he!

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

Moses and Aaron, [were] among his priests, And, Samuel, [was] among them who were calling upon his Name, Who were calling upon Yahweh, and, he, used to answer them:

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

In the pillar of cloud, used he to speak unto them, They kept his testimonies, and the statute he gave them.

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

O Yahweh our God! thou, answeredst them, —A pardoning GOD, thou becamest to them, Yet one bringing vengeance on their deeds.

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

Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down towards his holy mountain, For, holy, is Yahweh our God.
