< Psalms 136 >
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.
Mshukuruni Bwana, kwa kuwa ni mwema.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
Mshukuruni Mungu wa miungu.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
Mshukuruni Bwana wa mabwana:
4 He alone does great wonders.
Kwake yeye pekee atendaye maajabu makuu,
5 By His insight He made the heavens.
Ambaye kwa ufahamu wake aliziumba mbingu,
6 He spread out the earth upon the waters.
Ambaye aliitandaza dunia juu ya maji,
7 He made the great lights—
Ambaye aliumba mianga mikubwa,
8 the sun to rule the day,
Jua litawale mchana,
9 the moon and stars to govern the night.
Mwezi na nyota vitawale usiku,
10 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt
Kwake yeye aliyemuua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Misri,
11 and brought Israel out from among them
Na kuwatoa Israeli katikati yao,
12 with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.
Kwa mkono wenye nguvu ulionyooshwa,
13 He divided the Red Sea in two
Kwake yeye aliyeigawa Bahari ya Shamu,
14 and led Israel through the midst,
Na kuwapitisha Israeli katikati yake,
15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.
Lakini alimfagia Farao na jeshi lake katika Bahari ya Shamu,
16 He led His people through the wilderness.
Kwake yeye aliyewaongoza watu wake katika jangwa,
17 He struck down great kings
Ambaye aliwapiga wafalme wenye nguvu,
18 and slaughtered mighty kings—
Naye aliwaua wafalme wenye nguvu,
19 Sihon king of the Amorites
Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori,
20 and Og king of Bashan—
Ogu mfalme wa Bashani,
21 and He gave their land as an inheritance,
Akatoa nchi yao kuwa urithi,
22 a heritage to His servant Israel.
Urithi kwa Israeli mtumishi wake,
23 He remembered us in our low estate
Aliyetukumbuka katika unyonge wetu,
24 and freed us from our enemies.
Alituweka huru toka adui zetu,
25 He gives food to every creature.
Ambaye humpa chakula kila kiumbe.
26 Give thanks to the God of heaven!
Mshukuruni Mungu wa mbinguni,
