Zaburi 99

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

Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between 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.

They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

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

And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt Jehovah 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 among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.

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

He spoke unto 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.

Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

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

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.
