1
Mungu, Mungu Bwana, amenena, ameiita nchi, Toka maawio ya jua hata machweo yake.
A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.
2
Tokea Sayuni, ukamilifu wa uzuri, Mungu amemulika.
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
3
Mungu wetu atakuja wala hatanyamaza, Moto utakula mbele zake, na tufani yavuma sana ikimzunguka pande zote.
Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.
4
Ataziita mbingu zilizo juu, Na nchi pia awahukumu watu wake.
He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:
5
Nikusanyieni wacha Mungu wangu Waliofanya agano nami kwa dhabihu.
“Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
6
Na mbingu zitatangaza haki yake, Kwa maana Mungu ndiye aliye hakimu.
And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah
7
Sikieni, enyi watu wangu, nami nitanena, Mimi nitakushuhudia, Israeli; Mimi ndimi niliye MUNGU, Mungu wako.
“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
8
Sitakukemea kwa ajili ya dhabihu zako, Na kafara zako ziko mbele zangu daima.
I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
9
Sitatwaa ng'ombe katika nyumba yako, Wala beberu katika mazizi yako.
I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,
10
Maana kila hayawani ni wangu, Na makundi juu ya milima elfu.
for every beast of the forest is Mine—the cattle on a thousand hills.
11
Nawajua ndege wote wa milima, Na wanyama wote wa mashamba ni wangu
I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.
12
Kama ningekuwa na njaa singekuambia, Maana ulimwengu ni wangu, navyo viujazavyo.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.
13
Je! Nile nyama ya mafahali! Au ninywe damu ya mbuzi!
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14
Mtolee Mungu dhabihu za kushukuru; Mtimizie Aliye juu nadhiri zako.
Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
15
Ukaniite siku ya mateso; Nitakuokoa, na wewe utanitukuza.
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
16
Bali mtu asiye haki, Mungu amwambia, Una nini wewe kuitangaza sheria yangu, Na kuliweka agano langu kinywani mwako?
To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
17
Maana wewe umechukia maonyo, Na kuyatupa maneno yangu nyuma yako.
For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.
18
Ulipomwona mwivi ulikuwa radhi naye, Ukashirikiana na wazinzi.
When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
19
Umekiachia kinywa chako kinene mabaya, Na ulimi wako watunga hila.
You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
20
Umekaa na kumsengenya ndugu yako, Na mwana wa mama yako umemsingizia.
You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.
21
Ndivyo ulivyofanya, nami nikanyamaza; Ukadhani ya kuwa Mimi ni kama wewe. Walakini nitakukemea; Nitayapanga hayo mbele ya macho yako.
You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
22
Yafahamuni hayo, Ninyi mnaomsahau Mungu, Nisije nikawararueni, Asipatikane mwenye kuwaponya.
Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
23
Atoaye dhabihu za kushukuru, Ndiye anayenitukuza. Naye autengenezaye mwenendo wake, Nitamwonyesha wokovu wa Mungu.
He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rightly orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
