(1 Zwiyitikalo 16:23-33)1 Mbilani Yahwe lumbo gutshwa,
mbilani Yahwe, shango yose.
2 Mbilani Yahwe, kudzani zina labo,
lebani ngekwe jidzo labo zhuba ne zhuba.
3 Lebani ngekwe gudzo la Yahwe mu zwitjaba,
mishingo yabo inotjenamisa mu bathu bose.
4 Ngobe Yahwe bankulu kwazo,
kakale bakafanila kudziwa kwazo,
bakafanila tjiwa kupinda midzimu yose.
5 Ngobe midzimu yose ye zwitjaba zwifano,
koga Yahwe bakathama kudzimu.
6 Gudzo ne bushe zwimbeli kwabo,

7 Ipani Yahwe, imwi misha ye zwitjaba,

9 Namatani Yahwe mu bubuya gwakayengemala,
tetemani mbeli kwabo shango yose.
10 Idwani zwitjaba muti, “Yahwe banobusa!
Shango yakathamwa, aitofa yatshedugwa.
Banowosumikilisa bathu nge ndizandizanyo.”
11 Kudzimu ngakushathe, shango ngayi kholise,
gungwa ngagubombe na kose kumuguli,
12 Shango ngayi kudze na zose zwimuili.
Ndizo miti yose ye ishaka inowomba nge shatho,
13 mbeli kwa Yahwe, ngobe baswika,
banozhila kuwosumikilisa shango.
Banowosumikilisa shango nge ndulamo,
ne bathu nge malebeswa abo.
Sing a New Song to the Lord
1 Sing a new song to the Lord!
Everyone on this earth,
sing praises to the Lord,
2 sing and praise his name.
Day after day announce,
“The Lord has saved us!”
3 Tell every nation on earth,
“The Lord is wonderful
and does marvelous things!
4 The Lord is great and deserves
our greatest praise!
He is the only God
worthy of our worship.
5 Other nations worship idols,
but the Lord created
the heavens.
6 Give honor and praise
to the Lord,
whose power and beauty
fill his holy temple.”
7 Tell everyone of every nation,
“Praise the glorious power
of the Lord.
8 He is wonderful! Praise him
and bring an offering
into his temple.
9 Everyone on earth, now tremble
and worship the Lord,
majestic and holy.”
10 Announce to the nations,
“The Lord is King!
The world stands firm,
never to be shaken,
and he will judge its people
with fairness.”
11 Tell the heavens and the earth
to be glad and celebrate!
Command the ocean to roar
with all its creatures
12 and the fields to rejoice
with all their crops.
Then every tree in the forest
will sing joyful songs
13 to the Lord.
He is coming to judge
all people on earth
with fairness and truth.
