Psalms 96

1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

1 Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya; mwimbieni Bwana dunia yote.

2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

2 Mwimbieni Bwana, lisifuni jina lake; tangazeni wokovu wake siku baada ya siku.

3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

3 Tangazeni utukufu wake katikati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu miongoni mwa mataifa yote.

4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

4 Kwa kuwa Bwana ni mkuu mwenye kustahili kusifiwa kuliko wote; yeye ni wa kuogopwa kuliko miungu yote.

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

5 Kwa maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini Bwana aliziumba mbingu.

6 Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

6 Fahari na enzi viko mbele yake; nguvu na utukufu vimo patakatifu pake.

7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

7 Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za mataifa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.

8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.

8 Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; leteni sadaka na mje katika nyua zake.

9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

9 Mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake; dunia yote na itetemeke mbele zake.

10 Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

10 Katikati ya mataifa semeni, “Bwana anatawala.” Ulimwengu ameuweka imara, hauwezi kusogezwa; atawahukumu watu kwa uadilifu.

11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

11 Mbingu na zishangilie, nchi na ifurahi; bahari na ivume, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake;

12 Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

12 mashamba na yashangilie, pamoja na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake. Kisha miti yote ya msituni itaimba kwa furaha;

13 before the LORD, for He is coming—He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

13 itaimba mbele za Bwana kwa maana anakuja, anakuja kuihukumu dunia. Ataihukumu dunia kwa haki, na mataifa katika kweli yake.
