Psalms 99

1 The LORD reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

1 Bwana anatawala, mataifa na yatetemeke; anakalia kiti cha enzi katikati ya makerubi, dunia na itikisike.

2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.

2 Bwana ni mkuu katika Sayuni; ametukuzwa juu ya mataifa yote.

3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name—He is holy!

3 Wanalisifu jina lako ambalo ni kuu na la kuogopwa: yeye ni mtakatifu!

4 The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

4 Mfalme ni mwenye nguvu na hupenda haki, wewe umethibitisha adili; katika Yakobo umefanya yaliyo haki na sawa.

5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!

5 Mtukuzeni Bwana Mungu wetu, na mkaabudu katika mahali pa kuwekea miguu yake; yeye ni mtakatifu.

6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.

6 Mose na Aroni walikuwa miongoni mwa makuhani wake, Samweli alikuwa miongoni mwa walioliitia jina lake; walimwita Bwana, naye aliwajibu.

7 He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

7 Alizungumza nao kutoka nguzo ya wingu; walizishika sheria zake na amri alizowapa.

8 O LORD our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.

8 Ee Bwana, wetu, ndiwe uliyewajibu, kwa Israeli ulikuwa Mungu mwenye kusamehe, ingawa uliadhibu matendo yao mabaya.

9 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.

9 Mtukuzeni Bwana Mungu wetu, mwabuduni kwenye mlima wake mtakatifu, kwa maana Bwana Mungu wetu ni mtakatifu.
