Zaburi 47

1 Pigeni makofi, enyi watu wote; mpigieni Mungu kelele za ushindi.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. O make a glad noise with your hands, all you peoples; letting your voices go up to God with joy.

2 Kwa maana Yahwe Aliye Juu anatisha; ni Mfalme mkuu dunia yote.

For the Lord Most High is to be feared; he is a great King over all the earth.

3 Yeye anawatiisha chini yetu na mataifa chini ya miguu yetu.

He will put down the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 Yeye huchagua urithi kwa ajili yetu, utukufu wa Yakobo ambaye alimpenda. Serah

He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah)

5 Mungu ameinuliwa juu kwa shangwe, Kwa mbiu ya shangwe Yahwe yu juu.

God has gone up with a glad cry, the Lord with the sound of the horn.

6 Mwimbieni Mungu sifa, imbeni sifa; mwimbieni sifa Mfalme wetu, imbeni sifa.

Give praises to God, make songs of praise; give praises to our King, make songs of praise.

7 Kwa maana Mungu ni Mfalme duniani kote; mwimbieni mkiwa na uelewa.

For God is the King of all the earth; make songs of praise with knowledge.

8 Mungu anatawala mataifa yote; Mungu hukaa kwenye kiti cha enzi.

God is the ruler over the nations; God is on the high seat of his holy rule.

9 Wakuu wa watu wamekusanyika pamoja kwa watu wa Mungu wa Ibrahimu; kwa kuwa ngao za duniani ni za Mungu; yeye ameinuliwa juu sana.

The rulers of the peoples have come together, with the people of the God of Abraham; because the powers of the earth are God's: he is lifted up on high.
