Zaburi 96
1 Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.
Sing to the Lord a new song! All the earth, sing to the Lord!
2 Mwimbieni Yahwe, tukuzeni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
Sing to the Lord, and of his wonderful reputation! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
3 Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.
Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.
4 Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.
For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
5 Maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, bali ni Yahwe aliye zifanya mbingu.
For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
6 Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake. Nguvu na uzuri zimo katika patakatifu pake.
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Mpeni Yahwe sifa, enyi ukoo wa watu, mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.
Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.
8 Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.
Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Mpigieni magoti Yahwe mkiwa mmevaa mavazi ambayo yanaheshimu utakatifu wake. Nchi yote tetemekeni mbele zake.
Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.
10 Semeni kati ya mataifa, Yahwe anatawala.” Ulimwengu pia umeimarishwa; hauwezi kutikiswa. Yeye huwahukumu watu kwa haki.
Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.
11 Mbingu na zifurahi, na nchi ishangilie; bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo vipige kelele kwa shangwe.
Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!
12 Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha
Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.
13 mbele za Yahwe, maana yeye anakuja. Anakuja kuihukumu nchi. Naye atauhukumu ulumwengu kwa haki na mataifa kwa uaminifu wake.
In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations with his truth.
