Zaburi 47

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

To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. All ye peoples, clap your hands, Shout unto God, with the voice of triumph;

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

For, Yahweh—as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,

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

He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.

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

He chooseth for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob, which he hath loved. (Selah)

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

God hath ascended with a shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a horn.

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

Sing praises unto God, sing praises, Sing praises to our King, sing praises;

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

For God is king of all the earth, Sing praises with understanding.

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

God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat upon his holy throne.

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 willing-hearted of the peoples, have gathered themselves together, The people of the God of Abraham; For, to God, belong the shields of the earth, Greatly is he exalted.
