Zaburi 96
1 Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.
Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song; sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
2 Mwimbieni Yahwe, tukuzeni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
Sing to Yahweh, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.
3 Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.
4 Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.
For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly. He is to be feared above all other 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 it is Yahweh who made the heavens.
6 Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake. Nguvu na uzuri zimo katika patakatifu pake.
Splendor and majesty are in his presence. 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 Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe praise to Yahweh for his glory and strength.
8 Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.
Give to Yahweh the glory that his name 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.
Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness; 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, “Yahweh reigns.” The world also is established; it cannot be shaken. He judges the peoples fairly.
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 that which fills it shout with joy.
12 Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha
Let the fields rejoice and all that is in them. Then let all the trees in the forest shout for joy
13 mbele za Yahwe, maana yeye anakuja. Anakuja kuihukumu nchi. Naye atauhukumu ulumwengu kwa haki na mataifa kwa uaminifu wake.
before Yahweh, for he is coming. He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.
