< Zaburi 98 >
1 Oh, mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya, kwa kuwa ametenda mambo ya ajabu; mkono wake wa kuume na mkono wake mtakatifu vimempa ushindi.
A Psalm. O make a new song to the Lord, because he has done works of wonder; with his right hand, and with his holy arm, he has overcome.
2 Yahwe ameufanya wokovu wake ujulikane; ameidhihirisha haki yake kwa mataifa yote.
The Lord has given to all the knowledge of his salvation; he has made clear his righteousness in the eyes of the nations.
3 Hukumbuka uaminifu wa agano lake na uaminifu kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Israeli; miisho yote ya dunia itauona ushindi wa Mungu wetu.
He has kept in mind his mercy and his unchanging faith to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Mshangilieni Yahwe, nchi yote; pazeni sauti kwa wimbo, imbeni kwa furaha, na imbeni sifa.
Let all the earth send out a glad cry to the Lord; sounding with a loud voice, and praising him with songs of joy.
5 Mwimbieni Yahwe sifa kwa kinubi, kwa kinubi na wimbo wenye muiki wa kupendeza.
Make melody to the Lord with instruments of music; with a corded instrument and the voice of song.
6 Kwa panda na sauti ya baragumu, fanyeni kelele za shangwe mbele ya Mfalme, Yahwe.
With wind instruments and the sound of the horn, make a glad cry before the Lord, the King.
7 Bahari na ipige kelele na vyote vilivyomo, ulimwengu na wale wakaao ndani yake!
Let the sea be thundering, with all its waters; the world, and all who are living in it;
8 Mito na ipige makofi, na milima ipige kelele kwa furaha.
Let the streams make sounds of joy with their hands; let the mountains be glad together,
9 Yahwe anakuja kuihukumu nchi; naye ataihukumu dunia kwa haki na mataifa kwa adili.
Before the Lord, for he has come as judge of the earth; judging the world in righteousness, and giving true decisions for the peoples.
