Zaburi 99

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

Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

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

Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

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

They praise Thy name, 'Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

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

And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou — Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou — Thou hast done.

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

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves 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 proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

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

In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

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

O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

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

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!
