Zaburi 99

1 Yahwe anatawala; mataifa na yatetemeke. Ameketi juu ya makerubi; nchi inatetemeka.

Jehovah reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits above the cherubim, let the earth be moved.

2 Yahwe ni mkuu katika Sayuni; naye ametukuka juu ya mataifa yote.

Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

3 Nao walisifu jina lako kuu na lenye kutisha; yeye ni mtakatifu.

Let them praise thy great and awesome name. Holy is he.

4 Mfalme ana nguvu, naye hupenda haki. Wewe umeimarisha haki; umetenda haki na hukumu katika Yakobo.

The king's strength also loves justice. Thou establish equity. Thou execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Msifuni Yahwe Mungu wetu na sujuduni miguuni pake. Yeye ni mtakatifu.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. Holy is he.

6 Musa na Haruni walikuwa miongoni mwa makuhani wake, na Samweli alikuwa miongoni mwa wale walio muomba Yeye. Walimuomba Yahwe, naye akawajibu.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 Alizungumza nao toka nguzo ya wingu. Walizishika amri zake takatifu na sheria ambazo aliwapatia.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

8 Wewe uliwajibu, Yahwe Mungu wetu. Ulikuwa kwao Mungu mwenye kusamehe, lakini uliye adhibu matendo yao ya dhambi.

Thou answered them, O Jehovah our God. Thou were a God who forgave them, though thou took vengeance on their doings.

9 Msifuni Yahwe Mungu wetu, na mwabuduni kwenye mlima wake mtakatifu, maana Yahwe Mungu wetu ni Mtakatifu.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his holy hill. For Jehovah our God is holy.
