Psalms 68
1 Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of David himself. May God rise up, and may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from before his face.
Mungu ainuke, maadui zake watawanyike; pia wale wamchukiao wakimbie mbele zake.
2 Just as smoke vanishes, so may they vanish. Just as wax flows away before the face of fire, so may sinners pass away before the face of God.
Kama moshi uondoshwavyo, hivyo uwaondoshe wao; kama nta iyeyukavo mbele ya moto, hivyo waovu waangamizwe uweponi mwa Mungu.
3 And so, let the just feast, and let them exult in the sight of God and be delighted in gladness.
Bali wenye haki wafurahi; washangilie mbele za Mungu; washangilie na kufurahi.
4 Sing to God, sing a psalm to his name. Make a path for him, who ascends over the west. The Lord is his name. Exult in his sight; they will be stirred up before his face,
Mwimbieni Mungu! Lisifuni jina lake! Msifuni yule aendeshaye farasi kwenye tambarare ya bonde la Mto Yordani! Yahwe ni jina lake! Shangilieni mbele zake!
5 the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in his holy place.
Baba wa yatima, na mwamuzi wa wajane, ni Mungu anayeishi mahali patakatifu.
6 It is God who makes men dwell in a house under one custom. He leads out those who are strongly bound, and similarly, those who exasperate, who dwell in sepulchers.
Mungu huwaweka wakiwa katika familia; yeye huwafungua wafungwa kwa kuimba bali waasi huishi katika ardhi kavu.
7 O God, when you departed in the sight of your people, when you passed through the desert,
Mungu, wewe ulipoenda mbele ya watu wako, ulipotembea kupitia jangwani, (Selah)
8 the earth was moved, for the heavens rained down before the face of the God of Sinai, before the face of the God of Israel.
nchi ilitetemeka; mbingu pia zilidondosha mvua katika uwepo wa Mungu, uweponi mwa Mungu wakati alipokuja Sinai, uweponi mwa Mungu, Mungu wa Israeli.
9 You will set aside for your inheritance, O God, a willing rain. And though it was weak, truly, you have made it perfect.
Wewe, Mungu, ulituma mvua nyingi; uliuimarisha urithi wako wakati ulipokuwa umechoka.
10 Your animals will dwell in it. O God, in your sweetness, you have provided for the poor.
Watu wako waliishi humo; Wewe, Mungu, uliutoa kwa wema wako kwa maskini.
11 The Lord will give the word to evangelizers, along with great virtue.
Bwana alitoa amri, na wale walio zitangaza walikuwa ni jeshi kuu.
12 The King of virtue is beloved among the beloved. And the beauty of the house will divide spoils.
Wafalme wa majeshi wanakimbia, wanakimbia, na wanawake wakisubiri nyumbani kuvigawana wao na familia zao vilivyotekwa nyara.
13 If you take your rest in the midst of the clergy, you will be like a dove whose wings are covered with fine silver and edged with pale gold.
Njiwa walio vikwa fedha wakiwa na mabawa ya njano ya dhahabu. Wakati baadhi ya watu wakikaa kati ya mifugo ya kondoo, kwa nini umefanya haya?
14 When heaven discerns kings to be over her, they will be whitened with the snows of Zalmon.
Mwenyezi Mungu aliwatawanya Wafalme huko, ilikuwa kama vile wakati wa theluji juu ya Mlima Salmoni.
15 The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a dense mountain, a thick mountain.
Mlima mkubwa ni milima wa mji wa Bashani; mlima mrefu ni mlima wa mji wa Bashani.
16 So then, why are you distrustful of dense mountains? The mountain on which God is well pleased to dwell, even there, the Lord will dwell until the end.
Ewe mlima mrefu wa nchi, kwa nini unatazama kwa jicho la husuda, kwenye mlima ambao Mungu ameutaka kwa ajili ya mahali ambapo yeye ataishi? Hakika, Yahwe ataishi humo milele.
17 The chariot of God is ten thousand fold: thousands rejoice. The Lord is with them in Sinai, in the holy place.
Magari ya Mungu ni ishirini elfu, maelfu juu ya maelfu; Bwana yu kati yao katika mahari patakatifu, kama katika Sinai.
18 You have ascended on high; you have taken captivity captive. You have accepted gifts among men. For even those who do not believe dwell with the Lord God.
Wewe umepaa juu; uliwaongoza mateka; umepokea zawadi kutoka kati ya watu, hata kutoka kwa wale waliopigana dhidi yako, ili kwamba wewe, Yahwe Mungu, uweze kuishi huko.
19 Blessed is the Lord, day after day. The God of our salvation will make our journey prosper for us.
Abarikiwe Bwana, atubebeaye mizigo yetu, Mungu ambaye ni wokovu wetu. (Selah)
20 Our God is the God who will bring about our salvation, and our Lord is the Lord who has brought an end to death.
Mungu wetu ni Mungu aokoaye; Yahwe Bwana ni yule awezaye kutuokoa sisi dhidi ya kifo.
21 So then, truly, God will break the heads of his enemies, the hairy skull of those who wander around in their offenses.
Lakini Bwana atapiga vichwa vya adui zake, mpaka kwenye ngozi ya kichwa yenye nywele ya wale watembeao katika makosa dhidi yake.
22 The Lord said: I will turn them away from Bashan, I will turn them into the depths of the sea,
Bwana alisema, “Nitawarudisha adui zangu kutoka Bashani; nitawarudisha kutoka katika kina cha bahari
23 so that your feet may be soaked in the blood of your enemies, so that the tongue of your dogs may be soaked with the same.
ili kwamba upate kuwaangamiza adui zako, ukichovya mguu wako katika damu, na ili kwamba ndimi za mbwa wako zipate mlo wao kutoka kwa adui zenu.”
24 O God, they have seen your arrival, the arrival of my God, of my king who is in a holy place.
Mungu, wameona maandamano yako, maandamano ya Mungu wangu, Mfalme wangu, kwenye mahali patakatifu.
25 The leaders went ahead, united with the singers of psalms, in the midst of girls playing on timbrels.
Waimbaji walitangulia, walifuatiwa na wapiga muziki, na katikati walikuwa wanawali wakicheza ngoma.
26 In the churches, bless the Lord God from the fountains of Israel.
Mtukuzeni Mungu katika kusanyiko; msifuni Yahwe, ninyi ukoo wa kweli wa Israeli.
27 In that place, Benjamin is a youth in ecstasy of mind. The leaders of Judah are their governors: the leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.
Kuna Benjamini kwanza, kabila dogo, kisha viongozi wa Yuda na watu wao, viongozi wa Zabuloni na viongozi wa Naftali.
28 Command by your virtue, O God. Confirm in this place, O God, what you have wrought in us.
Mungu wenu, Israeli, ameamuru nguvu zenu; uzifunue kwetu nguvu zako, Mungu, kama ulivyo zifunua wakati uliopita.
29 Before your temple in Jerusalem, kings will offer gifts to you.
Uzifunue nguvu zako kwetu toka katika hekalu la Yerusalemu, ambako wafalme huleta zawadi kwako.
30 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, a congregation of bulls with the cows of the people, for they seek to exclude those who have been tested like silver. Scatter the nations that are pleased by wars.
Pigeni kelele katika vita dhidi ya wanyama wa porini katika mianzi, dhidi ya watu, lile kundi la mafahari na ndama. Wafedhehesheni na kuwalazimisha wawaletee zawadi; watawanyeni watu wapendao kupigana vita.
31 Ambassadors will come out of Egypt. Ethiopia will offer in advance her hands to God.
Wakuu watatoka katika Misri; Ethiopia itafanya haraka kuufikisha mkono wake kwa Mungu.
32 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth. Sing psalms to the Lord. Sing psalms to God.
Mwimbieni Mungu, enyi falme za nchi; (Selah) mwimbieni sifa Yahwe.
33 He ascends, up to the heaven of the heavens, toward the east. Behold, he will utter his voice, the voice of virtue.
Kwake yeye apitaye juu ya mbingu za mbingu, zilizokuwepo tangu zama za kale; tazama, yeye hupiga kelele kwa nguvu
34 Give glory to God beyond Israel. His magnificence and his virtue is in the clouds.
Tangazeni kuwa Mungu ni mwenye nguvu; enzi yake iko juu ya Israeli, na nguvu zake ziko angani.
35 God is wonderful in his saints. The God of Israel himself will give virtue and strength to his people. Blessed is God.
Mungu, mahali pako patakatifu panatisha; Mungu wa Israeli, yeye huwapa watu wake nguvu na uweza. Atukuzwe Mungu.
