Psalms 97
1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.
Bwana anatawala, nchi na ifurahi, visiwa vyote vishangilie.
2 Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.
Mawingu na giza nene vinamzunguka, haki na hukumu ndio msingi wa kiti chake cha enzi.
3 Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.
Moto hutangulia mbele zake na huteketeza adui zake pande zote.
4 His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;
Umeme wake wa radi humulika dunia, nchi huona na kutetemeka.
5 The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.
Milima huyeyuka kama nta mbele za Bwana, mbele za Bwana wa dunia yote.
6 The heavens, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.
Mbingu zinatangaza haki yake, na mataifa yote huona utukufu wake.
7 Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.
Wote waabuduo sanamu waaibishwa, wale wajisifiao sanamu: mwabuduni yeye, enyi miungu yote!
8 Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:
Sayuni husikia na kushangilia, vijiji vya Yuda vinafurahi kwa sababu ya hukumu zako, Ee Bwana.
9 For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.
Kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, ndiwe Uliye Juu Sana kuliko dunia yote; umetukuka sana juu ya miungu yote.
10 Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.
Wale wanaompenda Bwana na wauchukie uovu, kwa maana yeye hulinda maisha ya waaminifu wake na kuwaokoa kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.
11 Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:
Nuru huangaza wenye haki na furaha kwa watu wanyofu wa moyo.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
Furahini katika Bwana, ninyi mlio wenye haki, lisifuni jina lake takatifu.
