Zaburi 76
1 Mungu amefanya mwenyewe kujulikana katika Yuda; jina lake ni kuu katika Israeli.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm or song of Assaph.” In Judah hath God been made known: in Israel is his name great.
2 Hema yake iko salemu; makao yake yako yako Sayuni.
And in Salem was his tabernacle made, and his dwelling-place in Zion.
3 Huko ndiko alivunja mishale ya upinde, ngao, upanga, na silaha zingine za vita. (Selah)
There broke he the shining arrows of the bow, shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 Wewe unang'aa sana na huufunua utukufu wako, ushukapo kutoka milimani, ambako uliwauwa mateka.
Thou art more brilliant, more excellent than the mountains [full] of prey.
5 Wenye moyo shujaa walitekwa nyara; walilala mauti. Mashujaa wote walikuwa wanyonge.
Bereft of reason are the stouthearted, they slumber their sleep: and none of the men of might have found [the use of] their hands.
6 Kwa kukemea kwako, ewe Mungu wa Yakobo, wote gari na farasi walilala mauti.
From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, lie in deep sleep both chariot and horse.
7 Wewe, ndiyo wewe, ni wa kuogopwa; ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako wakati ukiwa na hasira?
Thou—thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thy anger [is kindled]?
8 Kutoka mbinguni wewe uliifanya hukumu yako isikike; nchi iliogopa na ikaa kimya
From heaven hast thou caused [thy] sentence to be heard: the earth feared, and became still,
9 wakati wewe, Mungu, ulipoinuka kutekeleza hukumu na kuwaokoa wote wa nchi walio onewa. (Selah)
When God rose to judgment, to save all the lowly of the earth. (Selah)
10 Hakika hukumu ya hasira yako dhidi ya binadamu itakuletea wewe sifa; wewe hujifunga mwenyewe hasira yako iliyo baki.
For the fury of man shall praise thee: the remainder of the fury wilt thou gird about thee.
11 Wekeni nadhiri kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu na kuzihifadhi. Nao wote wamzungukao yeye mleteeni zawadi yeye ambaye ni wa kuogopwa.
Make vows, and pay [them] unto the Lord your God, all ye that are round about him: let men bring presents unto him that exciteth fear.
12 Yeye huzikata roho za wakuu; huogopwa na wafalme wa nchi.
He will cut down the spirit of the powerful: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
