1
Bwana ndiye aliye mkuu, Na mwenye kusifiwa sana. Katika mji wa Mungu wetu, Katika mlima wake mtakatifu.
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
2
Kuinuka kwake ni mzuri sana, Ni furaha ya dunia yote. Mlima Sayuni pande za kaskazini, Mji wa Mfalme mkuu.
Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
3
Mungu katika majumba yake Amejijulisha kuwa ngome.
God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
4
Maana, tazama, wafalme walikusanyika; Walipita wote pamoja.
For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
5
Waliona, mara wakashangaa; Wakafadhaika na kukimbia.
They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6
Papo hapo tetemeko liliwashika, Utungu kama wa mwanamke azaaye.
Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
7
Kwa upepo wa mashariki Wavunja jahazi za Tarshishi.
With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
8
Kama tulivyosikia, ndivyo tulivyoona, Katika mji wa Bwana wa majeshi. Mji wa Mungu wetu; Mungu ataufanya imara hata milele.
As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever. Selah
9
Tumezitafakari fadhili zako, Ee Mungu, Katikati ya hekalu lako.
Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
10
Kama lilivyo jina lako, Ee Mungu, Ndivyo na sifa yako hata miisho ya dunia. Mkono wako wa kuume umejaa haki;
Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11
Na ufurahi mlima Sayuni. Binti za Yuda na washangilie Kwa sababu ya hukumu zako.
Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
12
Tembeeni katika Sayuni, Uzungukeni mji, Ihesabuni minara yake,
March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
13
Tieni moyoni boma zake, Yafikirini majumba yake, Mpate kuwaambia kizazi kitakachokuja.
consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
14
Kwa maana ndivyo alivyo MUNGU, Mungu wetu. Milele na milele Yeye ndiye atakayetuongoza.
For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
