Zaburi 47

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

To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

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

For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

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

He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.

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

He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

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

God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

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

Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

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

For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.

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

God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on 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.

Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
