Mwimbieni Mungu, nguvu zetu, nyimbo za furaha, Mshangilieni Mungu wa Yakobo.
> Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
Pazeni zaburi, pigeni matari, Kinubi chenye sauti nzuri, na kinanda.
Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, The pleasant lyre with the harp.
Pigeni panda mwandamo wa mwezi, Wakati wa mbalamwezi, sikukuu yetu.
Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
Kwa maana ni sheria kwa Israeli, Ni hukumu ya Mungu wa Yakobo.
For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Aliamuru iwe ushuhuda katika Yusufu, Alipoondoka juu ya nchi ya Misri; Maneno yake nisiyemjua naliyasikia.
He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn't know.
Nimelitenga bega lake na mzigo, Mikono yake ikaachana na kikapu.
"I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
Katika shida uliniita nikakuokoa; Nalikuitikia katika sitara ya radi; Nalikujaribu penye maji ya Meriba.
You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah." Selah.
Enyi watu wangu, sikieni, nami nitawaonya, Ee Israeli, kama ukitaka kunisikiliza;
"Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
Usiwe na mungu mgeni ndani yako; Wala usimsujudie mungu mwingine.
There shall be no strange god in you, Neither shall you worship any foreign god.
Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wako, Niliyekupandisha toka nchi ya Misri; Fumbua sana kinywa chako nami nitakijaza.
I am Yahweh, your God, Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Lakini watu wangu hawakuisikiliza sauti yangu, Wala Israeli hawakunitaka.
But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
Nikawaacha wakaenda kwa ukaidi wa mioyo yao, Waenende katika mashauri yao.
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, That they might walk in their own counsels.
Laiti watu wangu wangenisikiliza, Na Israeli angeenenda katika njia zangu;
Oh that my people would listen to me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
Ningewadhili adui zao kwa upesi, Na juu ya watesi wao ningegeuza mkono wangu;
I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
Wamchukiao Bwana wangenyenyekea mbele zake, Bali wakati wao ungedumu milele.
The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, And their punishment would last forever.
Naam, ningewalisha kwa unono wa ngano, Ningewashibisha kwa asali itokayo mwambani.</p>
But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock."
