Zaburi 68
1 Mungu ainuke, maadui zake watawanyike; pia wale wamchukiao wakimbie mbele zake.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of David. God will arise, and his enemies shalbe scattered: they also that hate him, shall flee before him.
2 Kama moshi uondoshwavyo, hivyo uwaondoshe wao; kama nta iyeyukavo mbele ya moto, hivyo waovu waangamizwe uweponi mwa Mungu.
As the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou driue them away: and as waxe melteth before the fire, so shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Bali wenye haki wafurahi; washangilie mbele za Mungu; washangilie na kufurahi.
But the righteous shalbe glad, and reioyce before God: yea, they shall leape for ioye.
4 Mwimbieni Mungu! Lisifuni jina lake! Msifuni yule aendeshaye farasi kwenye tambarare ya bonde la Mto Yordani! Yahwe ni jina lake! Shangilieni mbele zake!
Sing vnto God, and sing prayses vnto his name: exalt him that rideth vpon the heauens, in his Name Iah, and reioyce before him.
5 Baba wa yatima, na mwamuzi wa wajane, ni Mungu anayeishi mahali patakatifu.
He is a Father of the fatherlesse, and a Iudge of the widowes, euen God in his holy habitation.
6 Mungu huwaweka wakiwa katika familia; yeye huwafungua wafungwa kwa kuimba bali waasi huishi katika ardhi kavu.
God maketh the solitarie to dwell in families, and deliuereth them that were prisoners in stocks: but the rebellious shall dwell in a dry land.
7 Mungu, wewe ulipoenda mbele ya watu wako, ulipotembea kupitia jangwani, (Selah)
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people: when thou wentest through the wildernesse, (Selah)
8 nchi ilitetemeka; mbingu pia zilidondosha mvua katika uwepo wa Mungu, uweponi mwa Mungu wakati alipokuja Sinai, uweponi mwa Mungu, Mungu wa Israeli.
The earth shooke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of this God: euen Sinai was moued at the presence of God, euen the God of Israel.
9 Wewe, Mungu, ulituma mvua nyingi; uliuimarisha urithi wako wakati ulipokuwa umechoka.
Thou, O God, sendest a gracious raine vpon thine inheritance, and thou didest refresh it when it was wearie.
10 Watu wako waliishi humo; Wewe, Mungu, uliutoa kwa wema wako kwa maskini.
Thy Congregation dwelled therein: for thou, O God, hast of thy goodnesse prepared it for the poore.
11 Bwana alitoa amri, na wale walio zitangaza walikuwa ni jeshi kuu.
The Lord gaue matter to the women to tell of the great armie.
12 Wafalme wa majeshi wanakimbia, wanakimbia, na wanawake wakisubiri nyumbani kuvigawana wao na familia zao vilivyotekwa nyara.
Kings of the armies did flee: they did flee, and she that remained in the house, deuided the spoyle.
13 Njiwa walio vikwa fedha wakiwa na mabawa ya njano ya dhahabu. Wakati baadhi ya watu wakikaa kati ya mifugo ya kondoo, kwa nini umefanya haya?
Though ye haue lien among pots, yet shall ye be as the winges of a doue that is couered with siluer, and whose fethers are like yelowe golde.
14 Mwenyezi Mungu aliwatawanya Wafalme huko, ilikuwa kama vile wakati wa theluji juu ya Mlima Salmoni.
When the Almightie scattered Kings in it, it was white as the snowe in Zalmon.
15 Mlima mkubwa ni milima wa mji wa Bashani; mlima mrefu ni mlima wa mji wa Bashani.
The mountaine of God is like the mountaine of Bashan: it is an high Mountaine, as mount Bashan.
16 Ewe mlima mrefu wa nchi, kwa nini unatazama kwa jicho la husuda, kwenye mlima ambao Mungu ameutaka kwa ajili ya mahali ambapo yeye ataishi? Hakika, Yahwe ataishi humo milele.
Why leape ye, ye high mountaines? as for this Mountaine, God deliteth to dwell in it: yea, the Lord will dwell in it for euer.
17 Magari ya Mungu ni ishirini elfu, maelfu juu ya maelfu; Bwana yu kati yao katika mahari patakatifu, kama katika Sinai.
The charets of God are twentie thousande thousand Angels, and the Lord is among them, as in the Sanctuarie of Sinai.
18 Wewe umepaa juu; uliwaongoza mateka; umepokea zawadi kutoka kati ya watu, hata kutoka kwa wale waliopigana dhidi yako, ili kwamba wewe, Yahwe Mungu, uweze kuishi huko.
Thou art gone vp on high: thou hast led captiuitie captiue, and receiued giftes for men: yea, euen the rebellious hast thou led, that the Lord God might dwell there.
19 Abarikiwe Bwana, atubebeaye mizigo yetu, Mungu ambaye ni wokovu wetu. (Selah)
Praysed be the Lord, euen the God of our saluation, which ladeth vs dayly with benefites. (Selah)
20 Mungu wetu ni Mungu aokoaye; Yahwe Bwana ni yule awezaye kutuokoa sisi dhidi ya kifo.
This is our God, euen the God that saueth vs: and to the Lord God belong the issues of death.
21 Lakini Bwana atapiga vichwa vya adui zake, mpaka kwenye ngozi ya kichwa yenye nywele ya wale watembeao katika makosa dhidi yake.
Surely God will wound the head of his enemies, and the hearie pate of him that walketh in his sinnes.
22 Bwana alisema, “Nitawarudisha adui zangu kutoka Bashani; nitawarudisha kutoka katika kina cha bahari
The Lord hath sayde, I will bring my people againe from Bashan: I will bring them againe from the depths of the Sea:
23 ili kwamba upate kuwaangamiza adui zako, ukichovya mguu wako katika damu, na ili kwamba ndimi za mbwa wako zipate mlo wao kutoka kwa adui zenu.”
That thy foote may bee dipped in blood, and the tongue of thy dogges in the blood of the enemies, euen in it.
24 Mungu, wameona maandamano yako, maandamano ya Mungu wangu, Mfalme wangu, kwenye mahali patakatifu.
They haue seene, O God, thy goings, the goings of my God, and my King, which art in the Sanctuarie.
25 Waimbaji walitangulia, walifuatiwa na wapiga muziki, na katikati walikuwa wanawali wakicheza ngoma.
The singers went before, the players of instruments after: in the middes were the maides playing with timbrels.
26 Mtukuzeni Mungu katika kusanyiko; msifuni Yahwe, ninyi ukoo wa kweli wa Israeli.
Praise yee God in the assemblies, and the Lord, ye that are of the fountaine of Israel.
27 Kuna Benjamini kwanza, kabila dogo, kisha viongozi wa Yuda na watu wao, viongozi wa Zabuloni na viongozi wa Naftali.
There was litle Beniamin with their ruler, and the princes of Iudah with their assemblie, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Mungu wenu, Israeli, ameamuru nguvu zenu; uzifunue kwetu nguvu zako, Mungu, kama ulivyo zifunua wakati uliopita.
Thy God hath appointed thy strength: stablish, O God, that, which thou hast wrought in vs,
29 Uzifunue nguvu zako kwetu toka katika hekalu la Yerusalemu, ambako wafalme huleta zawadi kwako.
Out of thy Temple vpon Ierusalem: and Kings shall bring presents vnto thee.
30 Pigeni kelele katika vita dhidi ya wanyama wa porini katika mianzi, dhidi ya watu, lile kundi la mafahari na ndama. Wafedhehesheni na kuwalazimisha wawaletee zawadi; watawanyeni watu wapendao kupigana vita.

32 Mwimbieni Mungu, enyi falme za nchi; (Selah) mwimbieni sifa Yahwe.
Sing vnto God, O yee kingdomes of the earth: sing praise vnto the Lord, (Selah)
33 Kwake yeye apitaye juu ya mbingu za mbingu, zilizokuwepo tangu zama za kale; tazama, yeye hupiga kelele kwa nguvu
To him that rideth vpon ye most high heauens, which were from the beginning: beholde, he will send out by his voice a mightie sound.
34 Tangazeni kuwa Mungu ni mwenye nguvu; enzi yake iko juu ya Israeli, na nguvu zake ziko angani.
Ascribe the power to God: for his maiestie is vpon Israel, and his strength is in the cloudes.
35 Mungu, mahali pako patakatifu panatisha; Mungu wa Israeli, yeye huwapa watu wake nguvu na uweza. Atukuzwe Mungu.
O God, thou art terrible out of thine holie places: the God of Israel is hee that giueth strength and power vnto the people: praised be God.
