Psalms 95

1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!

Oh njoni, tumwimbie Yahwe; na tumwimbie kwa shangwe mwamba wa wokovu wetu.

2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.

Tuingie uweponi mwake kwa shukrani; tumwimbie yeye kwa zaburi ya sifa.

3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.

Kwa maana Yahwe ni Mungu mkuu na Mfalme mkuu juu ya miungu yote.

4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.

Mkononi mwake zimo bonde za dunia; navyo vilele vya milima ni vyake.

5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.

Bahari ni yake, maana aliiumba, na mikono yake ilitengeneza nchi kavu.

6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.

Oh njoni, tumwabudu na tupige magoti; tupige magoti mbele za Yahwe, muumbaji wetu:

7 He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.

Kwa maana yeye ni Mungu wetu, na sisi tu watu wa malisho yake na kondoo wa mkono wake. Ni heri leo mngesikia sauti yake!

8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.

Msiifanye migumu mioyo yenu, kama vile huko Meriba, au kama ile siku ya Masa jangwani,

9 There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].

ambako baba zenu walinijaribu na kunipima, japo walikuwa wameyaona matendo yangu.

10 For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’

Kwa miaka arobaini nilikasirishwa na kizazi hicho na kusema, 'Hawa ni watu ambao mioyo yao imepotoka; hawazijui njia zangu.'

11 So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”

Hivyo katika hasira yangu niliapa kwamba wasingeingia kamwe mahali pa pumziko.”
