Zaburi 96
1 Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Yahwe, nchi yote.
Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.
2 Mwimbieni Yahwe, tukuzeni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.
3 Tangazeni utukufu wake kati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu kati ya mataifa.
Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.
4 Maana Yahwe ni mkuu na wakusifiwa sana. Ni wakuhofiwa kuliko miungu mingine.
For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.
5 Maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, bali ni Yahwe aliye zifanya mbingu.
For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.
6 Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake. Nguvu na uzuri zimo katika patakatifu pake.
Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
7 Mpeni Yahwe sifa, enyi ukoo wa watu, mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.
Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
8 Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao unastahili jina lake. Leteni matoleo na muingie nyuani mwake.
Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.
9 Mpigieni magoti Yahwe mkiwa mmevaa mavazi ambayo yanaheshimu utakatifu wake. Nchi yote tetemekeni mbele zake.
Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
10 Semeni kati ya mataifa, Yahwe anatawala.” Ulimwengu pia umeimarishwa; hauwezi kutikiswa. Yeye huwahukumu watu kwa haki.
Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also — established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'
11 Mbingu na zifurahi, na nchi ishangilie; bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo vipige kelele kwa shangwe.
The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.
12 Mashamba yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo. Kisha miti ya mstuni ipige kelele kwa furaha
The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,
13 mbele za Yahwe, maana yeye anakuja. Anakuja kuihukumu nchi. Naye atauhukumu ulumwengu kwa haki na mataifa kwa uaminifu wake.
Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
