Zaburi 99

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

The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

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

Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

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

Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!

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

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

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 were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

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

He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

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

O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

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

Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
