Psalms 99

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

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

6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

Musa na Haruni walikuwa miongoni mwa makuhani wake, na Samweli alikuwa miongoni mwa wale walio muomba Yeye. Walimuomba Yahwe, naye akawajibu.

7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

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

8 Thou didst answer them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance on their evil deeds.

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

9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

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