Zaburi 99

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

The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he setteth [between] the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

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

The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all people.

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

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is] holy.

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

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; [for] 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 upon the LORD, 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 cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.

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

Thou didst answer them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

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 hill; for the LORD our God [is] holy.
