< Zaburi 76 >
1 Mungu amefanya mwenyewe kujulikana katika Yuda; jina lake ni kuu katika Israeli.
“For the leader of the music. Upon stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph.” In Judah is God known; Great is his name in Israel.
2 Hema yake iko salemu; makao yake yako yako Sayuni.
In Jerusalem is his tabernacle, And in Zion his dwelling-place.
3 Huko ndiko alivunja mishale ya upinde, ngao, upanga, na silaha zingine za vita. (Selah)
There brake he the lightning of the bow, The shield, the sword, and all the weapons of battle.
4 Wewe unang'aa sana na huufunua utukufu wako, ushukapo kutoka milimani, ambako uliwauwa mateka.
More glorious and excellent art thou Than those mountains of robbers!
5 Wenye moyo shujaa walitekwa nyara; walilala mauti. Mashujaa wote walikuwa wanyonge.
Spoiled are the stout-hearted; They sank into their sleep; The hands of the mighty were powerless.
6 Kwa kukemea kwako, ewe Mungu wa Yakobo, wote gari na farasi walilala mauti.
Before thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Fell chariot and horseman into a deep sleep!
7 Wewe, ndiyo wewe, ni wa kuogopwa; ni nani awezaye kusimama mbele yako wakati ukiwa na hasira?
Thou, thou, O God! art terrible! Who can stand before thee in thine anger?
8 Kutoka mbinguni wewe uliifanya hukumu yako isikike; nchi iliogopa na ikaa kimya
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth trembled and was still,
9 wakati wewe, Mungu, ulipoinuka kutekeleza hukumu na kuwaokoa wote wa nchi walio onewa. (Selah)
When God arose to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth!
10 Hakika hukumu ya hasira yako dhidi ya binadamu itakuletea wewe sifa; wewe hujifunga mwenyewe hasira yako iliyo baki.
The wrath of man shall praise thee, When thou girdest on the whole of thy wrath!
11 Wekeni nadhiri kwa Yahwe Mungu wenu na kuzihifadhi. Nao wote wamzungukao yeye mleteeni zawadi yeye ambaye ni wa kuogopwa.
Make and perform vows to Jehovah, your God! Let all that dwell around him bring gifts to the terrible One,
12 Yeye huzikata roho za wakuu; huogopwa na wafalme wa nchi.
Who casteth down the pride of princes, Who is terrible to the kings of the earth!
