< 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 of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.
2 Yahwe ameufanya wokovu wake ujulikane; ameidhihirisha haki yake kwa mataifa yote.
The Lord has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight 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 remembered his mercy and his truth toward 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.
Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.
5 Mwimbieni Yahwe sifa kwa kinubi, kwa kinubi na wimbo wenye muiki wa kupendeza.
Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,
6 Kwa panda na sauti ya baragumu, fanyeni kelele za shangwe mbele ya Mfalme, Yahwe.
with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.
7 Bahari na ipige kelele na vyote vilivyomo, ulimwengu na wale wakaao ndani yake!
Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.
8 Mito na ipige makofi, na milima ipige kelele kwa furaha.
The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,
9 Yahwe anakuja kuihukumu nchi; naye ataihukumu dunia kwa haki na mataifa kwa adili.
before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.
