Zaburi 96

1 Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.

Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Mwimbieni Yahwe, tukuzeni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.

Sing to the LORD. Bless his name. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.

3 Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

4 Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.

5 Maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, bali ni Yahwe aliye zifanya mbingu.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake. Nguvu na uzuri zimo katika patakatifu pake.

Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Mpeni Yahwe sifa, enyi ukoo wa watu, mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.

Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

8 Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. 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 holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Semeni kati ya mataifa, Yahwe anatawala.” Ulimwengu pia umeimarishwa; hauwezi kutikiswa. Yeye huwahukumu watu kwa haki.

Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Mbingu na zifurahi, na nchi ishangilie; bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo vipige kelele kwa shangwe.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness.

12 Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha

Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

13 mbele za Yahwe, maana yeye anakuja. Anakuja kuihukumu nchi. Naye atauhukumu ulumwengu kwa haki na mataifa kwa uaminifu wake.

before the LORD; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
