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, from day to day herald his victory.

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

Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

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

For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, above all gods:

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

for all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.

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

Before him are splendor and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.

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

Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the 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 he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.

9 Mpigieni magoti Yahwe mkiwa mmevaa mavazi ambayo yanaheshimu utakatifu wake. Nchi yote tetemekeni mbele zake.

Bow to 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 to the nations, “The Lord is king.” The world stands firm to be shaken no more. 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 the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.

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

Let the field, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their 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, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
